Amy Schumer attended this year's Manus x Machina-themedMet Gala, and she didn't exactly have the best time. In fact, she told Howard Stern on his Sirius XM radio show it would be her last time attending the event. 

Schumer had such a terrible time at the Met Gala that she described it as "a punishment" while speaking with Stern. "It's people doing an impression of having a conversation," Schumer said. "I don't like the farce. We're dressed up like a bunch of fucking assholes." And this is coming from someone who, on the surface, you would think would have had a good time. She wore Alexander Wang to the Met Gala and got to attend the event with the designer. Plus, she got to meet Beyoncé! 

"I got to meet Beyoncé, and she was like, 'Is this your first Met Gala?'" Schumer said. "And I was like, 'It's my last.'" Can you imagine how much Schumer must have hated this event if she's willing to pass on future opportunities to hobnob with Queen Bey?

It doesn't sound as if socializing with celebrities was Schumer's main problem, either. She spoke with Stern about the famous company she keeps and enjoys. "Me and Taylor Swift, we just hit it off," she said. "I dunno, I'm part of that world now."

At the end of the day, the fashion-themed event seemed to really be the source of Schumer's ire. "I don't like it," she explained. "I have no interest in fashion. I don't care."
