AceShowbiz - When Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager brought their spirited selves to the 2024 US Open, not every tennis enthusiast in attendance was thrilled by their presence. Attending the men's finals on Sunday, September 8, with their fellow anchor Savannah Guthrie, the "Today" show hosts cheered on American player Taylor Fritz amidst a star-studded audience.

During the match, the hosts' loud and lively behavior drew the ire of Anna Wintour, the iconic Vogue editor-in-chief. Discussing the incident on the Monday, September 9, episode of "Today With Hoda & Jenna", Kotb, 60, candidly admitted, "We were loud and annoying." Bush Hager, 42, added, "I think Anna Wintour asked us to quiet down," to which Kotb confirmed, "She did."

While Wintour, 74, was not amused, former tennis champion Stan Smith encouraged their enthusiasm. Smith allegedly told them, "You need to be louder." Kotb and Bush Hager complied, excitedly chanting "Fritzy" and enjoying stadium snacks like ice cream bars, sandwiches, and a bucket of M&Ms.

The match, which saw Fritz losing to Italy's Jannik Sinner, wasn't just about the game. The day was also a spectacle of celebrity sightings. Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce were spotted kissing and dancing. Other high-profile attendees included Kendall Jenner, Matthew McConaughey, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Patrick Mahomes.

As tennis traditions dictate, fans typically stay quiet to help players concentrate, though some, like pros including Coco Gauff, aren't bothered by the noise. But for Kotb and Bush Hager, maintaining decorum proved challenging amidst their buoyant celebrations.

Despite the scolding from Wintour, Kotb, Bush Hager, and Guthrie enjoyed their star-studded day out, embodying the spirit that sports can be both competitive and celebratory. Their presence, filled with fanfare and amusement, ensured that the 2024 US Open would be remembered not just for the thrilling matches, but also for the celebrities who made it unforgettable.
