Is it 2026 or 2016?
A reunion of the once inseparable duo of Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss has activated Swift’s fan base. The two shared a box with Swift’s parents and mother-in-law Donna Kelce on Sunday, November 8, to watch the Kansas City Chiefs dominate the New York Jets in their Week 9 home game.
The 36-year-old pop star, wearing a striped long-sleeved red polo shirt, celebrated as her husband Travis Kelce hauled the ball into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
The public outing comes four months after Kloss, 34, made a surprise appearance with her husband, venture capitalist billionaire Joshua Kushner, at the Swift-Kelce wedding following what seemed like years of estrangement and suspicion of “bad blood” between the friends.
Although she declined to share details of the event at Madison Square Garden — likely due to guests reportedly signing strict nondisclosure agreements — Kloss spoke warmly about Kelce and Swift on the “Today” show.
“Look, I try to protect my friends’ privacy,” she said. “But what I will say is they are an incredible couple and I am so happy for them.”
What was the drama between Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss?
The first sign that the mutual 2015 Vogue cover stars were on good terms in recent years came when Kloss attended the final stop of Swift’s Eras tour in Los Angeles on August 9, 2023. However, the model and mother of three was not in the VIP tent, leading to speculation about whether she was a guest of Swift’s at the show.
Kloss seemingly confirmed the reconciliation, at least on her part, by liking Swift’s August 2025 engagement post.
Once a member of Swift’s disbanded women’s team in the mid-2010s, Kloss appeared in Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2015, and in both shared onstage moments at the 2013 and 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.
The estrangement rumors began around 2017 and 2018 and seemed to be confirmed in 2019 when Kloss went on vacation with one of Swift’s main antagonists, Scooter Braun, who also attended one of her two weddings. This happened around the same time that Braun purchased Swift’s master recordings — which he then sold to Shamrock Capital — allegedly without her knowledge.
Another aspect of their friendship — which was not publicly commented on at the time — was some fans’ speculation about Swift’s sexuality. Dubbed “gaylors,” a subset of Swifties believe the superstar was romantically involved with at least one of her famous friends, including Kloss.
In the prologue to “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” Swift seemed to acknowledge “gaylor’s” comment, writing that she “swore off dating” to prioritize her female friendships circa 2014, because “if I only hung out with my friends, people wouldn’t be able to sensationalize or sexualize it — right?”
She continued, “I later learned that people could do it and they would do it.”
In a 2019 interview with Vogue, Swift said she “wasn’t part” of the LGBTQ+ community while discussing her decision to begin publicly advocating for LGBTQ rights.
Who is Karlie Kloss married to?
Kloss married Joshua Kushner, the brother of Jared Kushner, in 2018. Jared Kushner is married to Ivanka Trump and has held formal and informal positions in both Trump administrations.
Swift has criticized President Donald Trump and supported two of his political rivals, President. Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, for president.
Although it has never been confirmed, some fans have speculated that Swift may have written “Right Where You Left Me” and “It’s Time to Go” in the deluxe edition of 2020’s “Evermore,” about her friendship with Kloss. (See: “When a sister’s words come back in whispers / It proves she wasn’t / Actually what she seemed, not a twin of your dreams / She’s a con artist who got caught.”)
