Gigi Hadid reveals why Taylor Swift skipped Victoria's Secret show

by · Mail Online

Gigi Hadid made a show-stopping appearance at Tuesday 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but fans were shocked to see that her good friend Taylor Swift didn't attend the show.

But Gigi Hadid cleared up the mystery of the missing pop star and her boyfriend Travis Kelce in a short interview with Entertainment Tonight before the show. 

The 29-year-old catwalk star — who's boyfriend Bradley Cooper also had to sit out the fashion show — revealed that the 34-year-old hitmaker and the 35-year-old NFL star likely had a quiet night in together before Travis had to head back to Kansas City.

After getting a bye for the past week, Travis will have to be back at practice later this week ahead of the Kansas City Chief's game in San Francisco against the 49ers on Sunday, October 20.

'I think if they have one more night before he goes back they'll probably be cozy on the couch,' the model said when asked about the possibility of Taylor making an appearance. 'That's just my guess.'

'But will also be supporting,' Gigi added. 'I can feel it.'

The lovebirds likely weren't far from the show, which was held in Brooklyn, as they were spending time in New York City before Travis had to head back to the Midwest. 

Even if Taylor wasn't goin to be there in person, she still had an impact on the sister of Bella Hadid as she walked the runway at the first Victoria's Secret show in nearly six years.

'There’s something on the runway tonight that is new for me, at least on this runway,' Gigi teased during her Entertainment Tonight interview.

'There’s an aspect to it that I was trained to do by Taylor on her tour. In one of her rehearsals, she was like, "I’m gonna show you how we do this." Did that and now I’m using it tonight,' she said obliquely.

Although she left fans guessing, they were quick to offer possible explanations on social media.

Some speculated that Gigi might adopt the distinctive strut that Taylor used for her song Style, while others thought she might try to do the Bejeweled dance on the stage.

The superstar model also missed out on a chance to see her boyfriend Bradley Cooper supporting her from the audience. 

While chatting with ET, she shared that the Maestro actor and director would not be in attendance at the show.

'He is watching from home tonight,' Gigi explained, adding that he was on 'dad duty' for the evening.

Cooper shares his seven-year-old daughter Lea De Seine with his former partner Irina Shayk.

'I think if they have one more night before he goes back they'll probably be cozy on the couch,' Gigi said, before adding that Taylor would still be supporting her from afar
She also mentioned that she would be using something she learned from Taylor during the Victoria's Secret show, which left fans guessing (Swift is pictured at the Victoria's Secret show in 2014)

Gigi has a daughter of her own, four-year-old Khai, whom she shares with her ex, former One Direction member Zayn Malik.

In July, an insider revealed to DailyMail.com that Bradley is planning to propose to Gigi and has already secured 'the blessing of her family, friends and even her daughter.'

They also noted that the couple's daughters had spent plenty of time together, to the point that Lea had almost become like a 'big sister to [Khai].'

'They have every intention of becoming a blended functional family,' the insider said of Bradley and Gigi.
