The Met Gala is famous as the biggest night in fashion, but it’s also become a major event for music lovers, consistently attracting a star-studded lineup of musicians.
We can always count on Rihanna and A$AP Rocky showing up – usually at the last minute – and often see familiar faces like Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Doja Cat on the red carpet. However, some stars, like Tyler, the Creator, Young Thug, and JT, have consistently skipped the Met Gala, despite their strong sense of style.
We’ve gathered a list of musicians – from established artists like Drake to exciting up-and-coming talents like fakemink and Nettspend – who would be great choices to perform tonight.
Drake
With the ICEMAN event happening in just ten days, tonight feels like the ideal time for The Boy to make his debut on the Met Gala red carpet.
JT
JT is becoming a major presence in the fashion world, consistently delivering iconic looks inspired by classic music videos, appearing in high-profile photoshoots, and showcasing unique, custom-made outfits.
fakemink
A rising star from the UK’s underground music scene is quickly gaining international recognition. They’ve already impressed major figures in music and fashion, even receiving a personal invite from Demna to Gucci’s Paris show and a chance to perform at the afterparty.
Tyler, the Creator
Tyler, the Creator is known for his unique and influential style, so it always raises eyebrows when he doesn’t attend the Met Gala. He’s been very focused on fashion lately, with standout looks for his Marty Supreme promotion, his DON’T TAP THE GLASS clothing line, and through his GOLF WANG brand.
Young Thug
Last year, shortly after being released from prison, Young Thug only attended the afterparties for the Met Gala, showing up in a full Basketcase outfit. Now that he’s released a studio album since then, hopefully he’ll walk the red carpet at the main event this year.
070 Shake
Shake is a rising fashion star and we’re surprised they haven’t attended the Met Gala yet! Known for their unique, rule-breaking style and recently appointed as a Dior ambassador, Shake’s presence in the fashion world has grown significantly this year, making a Met Gala appearance seem likely in the future.
Latto
Latto announced both her new album, Big Mama, and that she’s pregnant at the same time. With the album release just around the corner, and given the Met Gala’s reputation for revealing baby bumps, everyone’s watching to see if she’ll debut her growing belly there.
Playboi Carti
Playboi Carti used to be known for staying out of the public eye, but since releasing his album MUSIC, he’s been appearing more and more in the mainstream. Many are wondering if this will be the year he finally attends the Met Gala.
Nettspend
A popular young fashion icon walked the runway at a major Gucci show this year, and is also making a name for himself in the streetwear world. He’s quickly becoming a fixture at important industry events, like those held at The Mark Hotel.
J. Cole
We can’t help but hope for this one every year.
