The answer lies in Taylor’s ongoing Eras Tour, with the songstress currently captivating audiences in South America. On the night of Beyoncé’s premiere, Taylor was performing in São Paulo, explaining her absence at the Hollywood event.

The absence also meant Taylor couldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving with her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who revealed on a podcast that he spent the holiday alone due to Taylor’s tour commitments.

While Taylor faced challenges on her tour, including the tragic death of a fan in Rio de Janeiro, Beyoncé’s premiere in California saw a dazzling array of celebrities, including Lizzo, Chloe X Halle, Gabrielle Union, Lupita Nyong’o, Janelle Monae, and Kris Jenner.

The premiere, shrouded in secrecy until the last minute, boasted a ‘cozy opulence’ dress code for the ‘chrome carpet.’ Beyoncé’s concert film, dedicated to her late gay cousin Jonny lost to AIDS-related illness, is set to hit theaters on World AIDS Day this Friday.

Despite Taylor’s absence, the pop titans recently shared a red carpet moment at the premiere of Taylor’s Eras Tour film, leaving fans in awe. The mystery of Taylor Swift’s nonattendance at Beyoncé’s event continues to fuel speculation among their devoted fanbases.”
