At the recent US Open, the ever-stylish Anna Wintour, Vogue’s legendary editor-in-chief, found herself in a bit of a pickle.
Known for her impeccable taste and refined demeanor, the 74-year-old fashion icon was trying to enjoy the tennis matches when she found herself being interrupted by some rather enthusiastic cheering from Today show hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.
Fashion Icon Meets Enthusiastic Cheering
Anna Wintour, who was spotted mingling with other A-list attendees and even offering fashion tips to Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, was visibly distracted by the lively cheers from Hoda and Jenna.
The dynamic duo, known for their on-screen charisma, were apparently causing quite a stir with their loud cheers.
In fact, Anna was overheard asking them, along with Savannah Guthrie, to tone it down so she could focus on the game.
Cheering and Shushing: Behind the Scenes
On the Monday following the event, Hoda, 60, and Jenna, 42, openly acknowledged their exuberant cheering during their segment on the Today show.
They recounted their animated support for the players and admitted that their loud encouragement might have been a bit over the top.
Despite Anna’s request for a quieter atmosphere, they revealed that other celebrities, including former pro tennis player Stan Smith, had actually urged them to cheer even louder.
Mixed Reactions from the Crowd
In their recount of the events, Hoda and Jenna mentioned that while they were trying to amp up the excitement with chants like “Fritzy” for player Taylor Fritz, their enthusiasm may have contributed to Anna’s apparent frustration.
Not everyone at the US Open was bothered by the noise, though; stars like Coco Gauff have previously said that they don’t mind the cheering.
Snack Prep and Celebrity Sightings
In preparation for the game, Hoda and Jenna made sure to stock up on snacks such as M&Ms, sandwiches, and drinks, ensuring they were well-fueled for the matches.
They also couldn’t help but gush about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who were seen enjoying a very public display of affection.
Their PDA was met with mixed reactions, with some critics calling it “cringe” and “forced,” while others speculated that it was an attempt to counter rumors suggesting their romance might be a PR stunt.
Relationship Rumors and Reactions
Rumors about Taylor and Travis’s relationship being a publicity stunt began circulating recently, fueled by an alleged “breakup contract” that surfaced online.
However, Travis’s representatives have dismissed these claims as “entirely false and fabricated.”
