They should really issue some sort of warning in Hollywood about Taylor Swift and Kanye West's feud [2], because the drama between the two is starting to affect more than just their inner circles. Idris Elba, all around gorgeous and lovely human [3], revealed in a recent interview that the 2016 Met Gala got a little uncomfortable for him when it came time to present an award with the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer.
The Mountain Between Us [4] actor, who cochaired the event that year with Taylor, told the New York Times about the high school-level drama he felt during the night [5]. "It was a bit awkward because Taylor Swift [6] and I had to present an award," he said. "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.'"
Today, more than a year later, Taylor and Kanye are still feuding. The singer came out swinging when she released the video for "LWYMMD" [8] at the MTV VMAs in September, which was littered with references to her feud with Kanye and his wife, Kim Kardashian [9]. The couple, who hasn't responded, reportedly think Taylor's attempts to shade them are "pathetic." [10] Sorry, Idris, but it looks like this situation is going to stay "awks."
