- Celebrities attended the 2023 Met Gala in New York City on Monday.
- Pusha T said Teyana Taylor brought and ate Chick-Fil-A instead of the gala's dinner option.
Pusha T revealed that Teyana Taylor snuck Chick-Fil-A into the 2023 Met Gala to eat instead of the offered dinner option.
Celebrities flocked to New York City on Monday to attend this year's Met Gala, where the dress code and theme honored late designer Karl Lagerfeld. Among the attendees was Pusha T, who shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the star-studded event.
In one Instagram story, the rapper shared a video of Taylor, who he said brought fast food to the Met Gala.
"Teyana Taylor is embarrassing me," Pusha T joked in his post. "She brought @chicfilausa to the #MetGala. I want her away from me…"
Pusha T's video showed Taylor eating what appeared to be chicken, fries, and dipping sauce from Chick-Fil-A.
"Usher tried to stop her," Pusha T added, showing footage of Taylor eating as Usher laughed beside her at the event.
Both Pusha T and Taylor wore outfits designed by Thom Browne to the Met Gala. Pusha T wore a patterned black and white suit, while Taylor wore a black and white tweed dress. Usher wore a simple black suit with gloves and a brooch.
At this year's event, according to Vogue, the Met Gala menu was inspired by the wedding reception Lagerfeld hosted for fashion designer Paloma Picasso, the daughter of the famous modern artist. The food included chilled pea soup, salmon, asparagus, and picked strawberries among other delicacies, the outlet reported.
Other celebrities have discussed the Met Gala's menus of years past, with some saying the meal options were scarce. In May 2019, comedian Tiffany Haddish said she put home-cooked chicken inside her purse because there "wasn't enough food" at the 2018 Met Gala.
"I'm expecting a few good drinks, wonderful art collections, really great conversations with some friends, and if the food is not what I need it to be, I went ahead and I brought some chicken," Haddish said during a red carpet interview.
At the 2021 Met Gala, Keke Palmer poked fun at her plant-based dish by sharing a photo of her plate to her Instagram stories.
"This why they don't show y'all the food," Palmer wrote before adding: "I'm just playinnnn."
Mike Hartman, a head dinner server at the 2018 Met Gala, told Insider's Amanda Krause that celebrities often leave food on their plates during the event.
"They all were just talking, networking, and enjoying each other's company. I don't think anyone really comes for the meal — but the food was delicious!" Hartman told Insider.
He added: "Guests usually even waived 'no thank you' to us before we served. So we didn't serve as much food as we could have. I'm sure they ate more at the cocktail hour with the hors d'oeuvres."
