LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The spotlight is once again on the friendship status of supermodel Karlie Kloss and singer Taylor Swift.
The long-standing rumors of a rift between the two have resurfaced after Kloss attended Swift's Eras Tour concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday, August 9.
During the concert, fans observed Kloss as she occupied her seat at SoFi Stadium. Numerous videos circulated, highlighting her evident enjoyment of the show while seated in the bleachers.
However, let's delve into the journey of their friendship, the speculated falling-out, and whether they are still on good terms.
How did Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift become friends?
During Swift's 2012 Vogue interview at Prabal Gurung's studio, the 'You Belong With Me' singer spotted a framed photo of Kloss on the wall. "I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her!" she enthusiastically shared with the interviewer.
Responding to Swift's invitation, Kloss, known for her baking prowess and collaboration with Momofuku Milk Bar's Christina Tosi for her line of treats called 'Karlie's Kookies,' accepted on the same day the article was published.
Although, their friendship bloomed in 2013 when Swift and Kloss crossed paths backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. At the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Swift took to the runway performing 'I Knew You Were Trouble.'
Kloss, second in line for the 'Snow Angels' segment, playfully pointed at Swift while lip-syncing her lyrics as she walked the ramp.
The two even engaged in a dance on stage before Kloss made her exit. During Swift's rendition of 'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark' with Fall Out Boy, they shared a moment, holding hands.
Reflecting on their encounter, Kloss expressed her admiration for Swift, stating, "We met at the show, we never met before but we're BFFs now," as per Cosmopolitan.
She further added, "It's nice to meet another American girl, we're the same age, and she's so inspiring — she's so talented and true to who she is. She's a cool girl, and I'm glad she's in the show this year, she rocked it."
A month later, Kloss reiterated that her interaction with Swift was her "favorite" moment from the show. From road trips to joint Vogue covers, they formed a close bond, even sharing social media snapshots of their adventures.
They quickly became inseparable. Kloss even held a bedroom in Swift's New York apartment, solidifying their connection.
What happened between Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift?
The apparent downturn in their friendship began around the time of Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' music video, in which she donned a T-shirt with tons of names of her BFFs and didn't include Kloss, as per Insider.
Following the 'LWYMMD' gate saga, Kloss ceased making public appearances together, sparking speculations among fans. Some even conjectured that the 'Evermore' bonus track 'It’s Time to Go' might allude to their potential falling out.
However, Swift seemingly addressed these claims in a sort of indirect manner via an Instagram post.
While the exact cause remains a subject of speculation, fans have pointed to this incident as a possible trigger for their apparent falling-out.
Despite the ongoing conjecture, both celebrities have refrained from directly addressing the status of their friendship in recent times.
Interestingly, some fans have asserted that Kloss' association with Scooter Braun could have played a role in the alleged rift.
This speculation stems from a sighting in 2019 when, amidst Swift's master's controversy, Kloss and Scooter were photographed vacationing together.
Are Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss still friends?
Despite the speculation and rumors, the truth is that their friendship remains intact. Recent events, including Kloss attending Swift's concert, provide hints of reconciliation while Kloss has yet to share her personal snapshots from the concert.
However they haven't publicly addressed the rumors directly, fans can find solace in knowing that their bond endures.
Who is Karlie Kloss married to?
Kloss is married to Joshua Kushner. He is a businessman and the younger brother of Jared Kushner, who is the son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump and was a senior advisor to Trump during his presidency.
Initiating their relationship in 2012, the pair adeptly sidestepped public attention, with occasional social media updates and scarce red-carpet ventures.
Their engagement, concealed from the public eye, transpired in July 2018, leading to a discreet wedding ceremony just three months afterward.
"The wedding was intimate and moving. The couple was beaming with happiness,” said a friend who attended the wedding.
The year 2021 marked the arrival of their first child, a son named Levi Joseph. Subsequently, two years later, Kloss gave birth to their second son, Elijah Jude.
