Swift's fans were a little bummed when they didn't see the \"Look What You Made Me Do\" singer last night, but last we heard, she was getting ready for her tour.

Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a.... girl rehearsing for her tour that starts in 9 DAYS.

The rapper might be giving controversial interviews all around the country, but he was not at the Met last night.

Lupita Nyong'o

Usually the epitome of fashion-forward stardom, the Oscar winner was nowhere to be seen on Monday night.

From the looks of her Instagram feed, she's getting ready for her new film, \"355\" to debut at Cannes.

Reese Witherspoon

The \"Big Little Lies\" star is currently working on season 2 of the hit HBO show. Witherspoon also posted a short video today about helping young female filmmakers make it big in Hollywood, so it seems she's very busy.
