At Taylor Swift's recent California concert, an unexpected omission from the VIP suite has reignited murmurs of tension between the pop superstar and Meghan Markle. While Hollywood A-listers like Cameron Diaz, Tiffany Haddish, Zoe Saldana, and Gayle King enjoyed Swift's special hospitality, the Duchess of Sussex, notably, was not among them.

A source shared, “Taylor was surely aware Meghan was in the audience, yet there wasn’t an invite backstage." This becomes more significant when contrasted with the enthusiasm Swift, 33, showed in taking photos with other attendees like Vanessa Bryant and Alicia Keys.

Rumors suggest this isn't the first time Swift and Markle have had a somewhat distant interaction. Prior to this event, Swift's team had reportedly declined a personal request from Markle, inviting the singer to feature on her then-active Archetypes podcast.

Despite the earlier miscommunication, insiders believed Markle, 42, had hoped for a warmer reception at Swift's concert. “Meghan expected more inclusivity from the event," revealed a source.

Speculation has it that Swift's growing bond with Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry's elder brother, might be influencing these interactions. Additionally, Markle and Prince Harry's diminished Hollywood presence, following the dissolution of their $20 million Spotify deal, might be affecting the couple's standing within certain circles.

Now, whispers within the industry suggest an irked Meghan may be gearing up to share her side of the story.
