Oprah Winfrey’s Tequila Passion

Enjoying a fun-filled evening on the red carpet, Oprah had some big plans after Monday’s night Met Gala.

The host happened to be ready to splurge on her favorite drink, saying, "I like tequila and I will have a few shots this evening!"

Her best friend Gayle King confirmed her love of the potent beverage, telling, “Oprah loves tequila shots! Yes! She sure does!”

But she insisted it was only a few. “She doesn't get, you know, crazy, but she enjoys a good tequila shot!"

Oprah looked classy on the red carpet, adding that she had to wear her hair curly so it stayed put throughout the night. "This is my hair down and me partying!" she said. She was spotted later in the night at The Mark Hotel “dancing on a banquette with Diddy and Pharrell.”
