Recalling how the exchange unfolded, Jenna, 42, referred to her eldest daughter, saying, “I had to ask too, because Mila Hager asked if Taylor would be there, and she (Anna) said, ‘I hope she comes and “Enjoy the exhibition.”

“And your accent is perfect,” Hoda, 59, joked, while Sheinelle, 46, who will attend the Met Gala on Monday night, admitted, “You made me emotional.”
Elsewhere in the exclusive interview, Jenna asked Anna to confirm whether it was true that chives, onion and garlic had been banned from the star-studded night’s menu.
“Those are three things I don’t particularly like, so yeah, it’s true,” he responded with a smile on his face.
Anna also admitted that there may have been some “confusion” over this year’s theme, which was Sleeping Beauties: Fashion Awakening, and said this year’s exhibition broke her “cardinal rule.”
‘We came up with the title Sleeping Beauties. “It’s wonderful, poetic, romantic, but it could actually be many, many things,” she told Jenna.
That, combined with Garden of Time’s dress code, he said, may have caused mixed signals.
“I’m afraid we’ve unleashed a lot of confusion out there, for which I deeply apologize,” he added.
When asked how she feels in the days leading up to the Met Gala, Anna revealed: “It’s relatively calm. It’s all in the details. We plan these exhibitions at night so far in advance that if we’re not relatively calm at this point, we’ll be in big trouble.’

Taylor opted for an elegant floor-length black dress when she attended the fashion night in May 2013.
Last week it was reported that Taylor and her boyfriend, footballer Travis Kelce, would not be attending this year’s gala.
The Shake It Off hitmaker, who recently released her new album The Tortured Poets Department, is believed to be skipping the couture event for a simpler reason: her conflicting touring schedule.
Instead, Taylor will prepare to continue her successful Eras Tour, which will see her perform at the Paris La Défense Arena on Thursday, May 9.
Further, TMZ reported in early April that Taylor and Travis, also 34, would be skipping the prestigious event, although neither has spoken publicly about the reason for their decision not to participate.
