Talk about uncomfortable! Idris Elba revealed that things got a little “awkward” for him at the Met Gala in 2016 because of Taylor Swift’s longstanding beef with Kanye West. In a new interview with The New York Times published Wednesday, October 4, Elba, who cochaired the Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology event with Swift, said he had no idea about the singer’s feud with the rapper.
The Biggest Celeb Feuds of All Time The Mountain Between Us star, 45, played a game of “Confirm and Deny” with the newspaper, in which he had to confirm or deny different rumors and reports about him. The publication asked him if fashion’s biggest night was indeed the most stressful night of his life, and he said: “It was great. I felt really famous that day.” “It was a bit awkward because Taylor Swift and I had to present an award,” Elba continued. “We were walking through the crowd and obviously, there was a little beef between Taylor and Kanye. I didn’t know any of this. But I was there! And I was, like, ‘Oh, this is awks.'”
