Cenat, 23, looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo as he excitedly spotted Swift being escorted past him. As he called out to her, mentioning his assistant Brianna’s admiration, Swift continued walking without acknowledging him, disappearing around a corner.
His dramatic reaction—shouting “D***!” in disappointment—sent social media into a frenzy, with some fans sympathizing while others joked about the interaction. Swift, who was busy making history with her Album of the Year win, has not addressed the moment.
