She said, “Yeah, and I would say Met Gala is one of them. I think it’s during the clay season, so that’s probably the only other one. I’m like the only way that will work out. I will have to miss like an important part of the season, which right now, you know, early in my career, probably won’t happen. Maybe later on, but yeah, I would say Met Gala is the next one.”
