Hadid, who's mother to a daughter Khai with her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, also gushed backstage about her 'supportive' new boyfriend, Bradley Cooper. While talking to Entertainment Tonight, the Guest in Residence founder confirmed that her beau wouldn't be in attendance but that he was watching from afar.
'He is watching from home tonight,' Hadid explained to the outlet, adding that he was on 'dad duty' for the night. She added, 'But [he is] so supportive. And I have friends coming! So many friends.'
When asked if Swift and her NFL player boyfriend Travis Kelce would be cheering her on in the live audience, Hadid said: 'I think if they have one more night before he goes back [to Kansas City] then they will probably be cosy on the couch.
'That's just my guess. But she will also be supporting. I can feel it,' she added.
