Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift’s rumored feud explored as model discusses her favorite songs by the Midnights singer

Model Karlie Kloss shared her favorite tracks by rumored former best friend Taylor Swift. During an interview with Yahoo Life published on Monday, July 22, Kloss opened up about being part of Thorne Health’s “Find Your Way” wellness campaign and her personal fitness goals. The article mentioned that even though Kloss listened to music while working out, it wasn't Taylor Swift.

Reportedly, Swift and Kloss became inseparable best friends after meeting for the first time in 2013. The duo was featured together for a Vogue magazine cover in 2015. However, in 2018 rumours circulated online suggesting a breakup between the two friends. This intensified further after Swift released two bonus tracks for her album Evermore in 2021 seemingly throwing shade at the model.

Kloss, who attended The Eras Tour in 2023, was asked during the interview if she had a favorite song from her new album The Tortured Poets Department. The model said, "the whole album" and further added that Swift's music was "classic".

The model told the publication:

"She’s got so many hits. I definitely love “Shake It Off.”"

Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss appeared on the cover of Vogue together in 2015

Karlie Kloss was a prominent member of Taylor Swift's famous friend's circle after they met in 2013. This group included Serena Williams, Blake Lively, Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, Cara Delevingne, and Gigi Hadid. Swift and Kloss went on a girls' trip to the California seaside in March 2014 and attended the 2014 Met Gala together.

Kloss told Us Weekly that Swift's afterparty was the "best ever" and felt like a "teenage afterparty." Following Swift's split from Harry Styles, Kloss described Swift as a "special girl" with no time for boys.

She further added:

"I feel really lucky that we connected and our paths crossed. She's just a special girl."

After twinning at the 2014 Victoria's Secret fashion show in December 2014, the duo even appeared in a February 2015 issue of Vogue complete with a tagline that read "Taylor & Karlie. Unstoppable, Inseperable, Adorable". Later in the same year, Kloss was among the members of Taylor's posse featured in the iconic music video for Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar's hit track Bad Blood.

Kloss took to Instagram on December 13, 2016, to wish the singer a happy 27th birthday. In the caption to the post of Swift planting a kiss on her cheek, Kloss called the singer her "ride or die". She further wrote:

"I feel blessed to count you as my friend, sister and partner in crime. Can't wait to celebrate together very soon ❤️🍪🍾"

In August 2017, when Swift dropped the video for Look What You Made Me Do, the model's name was left off of the singer's iconic squad T-shirt. At the time, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the duo was still "very much good friends". Moreover, in January 2018, Karlie Kloss seemingly referenced Katy Perry's diss against Taylor Swift in one of her Instagram posts captioned "Swish, swish, bish".

However, despite speculation, the model announced in a 2018 New York Times profile that Swift was still one of her "closest friends." Later that year, during an interview with the New York Times, Jennifer Lawrence asked:

"I’d like to know what’s going on with Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift, that’s the honest to God truth,"

Kloss responded in a 73 Questions video for Vogue, where she said:

"Jen, don't worry, Taylor and I are still really good friends."

In June 2019, when Kloss celebrated her second wedding with Joshua Kushner, Swift was notably absent. When Swift released two bonus tracks for her album Evermore in January 2021, fans were quick to speculate that the songs threw shade at Karlie Kloss. Swift sang on the first verse from It's Time to Go:

"When the words of a sister, come back in whispers, that prove she was not, in fact, what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams, she’s a crook who was caught."

The opening verse for right where you left me went:

"Friends break up, friends get married,"

Despite the alleged feud, Karlie Kloss was in attendance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in Los Angeles in August 2023. However, she was not at the V.I.P. tent, instead, she was seated in the bleachers.
