How A Surprise Party Ruined Taylor Swift And Karlie Kloss Friendship

Highlights

• Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss were once close friends.
• Their friendship sparked dating rumors.
• Their friendship crumbled due to a combination of factors, including Taylor's feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

MusicianTaylor Swift and supermodel Karlie Kloss were once two of Hollywood's most talked about and revered friends. The paparazzi reveled in taking pictures of the famous pair wherever they went, and fans idolized their close bond. While Swift and Kloss share a striking likeness (the two even frequently referred to themselves as twin sisters), they also share other qualities, such as equally successful careers in entertainment and a similar social circle, which helped to forge their friendship.

Swift and Kloss were once so close that they were caught up in rumors of being in a romantic relationship together. However, their friendship eventually ended in 2018. At the time, the media and fans wanted to know what happened to cause a rift between them, yet neither Swift nor Kloss addressed the reason for their fallout directly. But in recent years, certain circumstances have come out that shed light on why this famous friendship crumbled.

Taylor Swift's Friendship With Karlie Kloss Ended After The Model Threw A Party In Her Home

Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss' friendship began in 2012 when Kloss tweeted at Swift in response to a Vogue interview the "Teardrops On My Guitar" singer gave, in which she mentioned wanting to bake cookies with the famous supermodel.

The two would later cement their friendship when Swift appeared alongside Kloss at the December 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Shortly after their joint appearance on the runway, Kloss said in an interview with The Hollywood Life that she and Taylor hadn't met until then but were "now BFF's."

Kloss added:

It's nice to meet another American girl. We're the same age, and she's so inspiring.

Soon, the two superstars were pictured everywhere, from red carpet premiers to award ceremonies, out and about in New York and Hollywood, and even at sporting events. They also shared updates about each other on social media, which always got high fan engagement.

Kloss even appeared in the 2015 music video for Swift's song "Bad Blood" alongside the singer's other famous friends, such as Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham.

While Swift's other friendships garnered attention, her relationship with Kloss caused the most enthusiasm, with the media even dubbing the twosome Kaylor, which is a mash-up of both of their first names.

Rumors that Swift and Kloss were more than just friends initially gained traction in 2014 after they were photographed together at a club where they appeared to be kissing.

Swift denied she was dating Kloss and, shortly after the images surfaced, took to her Twitter page to write:

As my 25th birthday present from the media, I'd like for you to stop accusing all my friends of dating me. #thirsty.

While the dating rumors undeniably caused tension in their friendship, this was not what caused Swift and Kloss' fallout.

In 2016, Taylor Swift had yet another public feud with rapper Kanye West, which also involved his wife, socialite, Kim Kardashian.

When asked what she thought of Kardashian, Karlie Kloss told Insider:

I think she's been a lovely person to me in the past. Look, I don't know her that well.

Kloss received immediate backlash from those who felt she had been disloyal to Swift.

The Victoria's Secret Model later took to Twitter to address the criticism:

I will not allow the media to misconstrue my words. Taylor has always had my back, and I will always have hers.

While Swift and Kloss were occasionally pictured hanging out together and would mention each other on social media, it was significantly less so than it used to be, and soon, the press speculated that their friendship wasn't as strong as it used to be.

In 2019, Swift and Kloss' relationship became irrevocably damaged after several incidents came to light.

The first was Swift's career-altering encounter with record executive Scooter Braun.

In June 2019, Swift's former record label boss sold her master recordings to Braun for an estimated $300 million. While Swift would later reclaim much of her music by re-recording her masters, the deal with Braun, made without Swift's consent, prevented her from performing and using many of her songs.

Swift later asked other celebrities, especially those directly connected with Braun, to speak out in support of her. While many friends of Swift's, such as Gomez and Gigi Hadid, did speak out on her behalf, Karlie Kloss, who Scooter Braun managed, did not.

Kloss' silence was notable not only by the media but by fans, many of whom flocked to her social media pages to condemn her for posting an image on Instagram the day Swift asked for support.

To make matters worse, according to BuzzFeed, sources close to Kloss stated that the model allegedly provided information to Braun about Taylor Swift.

While Swift's battle with Braun is generally the most widely accepted reason why she fell out with Karlie Kloss, once again, it was not the main reason for their friendship falling out.

The second incident between the pair in 2019 was when Kloss, who had her own bedroom at Swift's penthouse in Tribecca, visited her for an extended period.

According to a report in Page Six, Swift was left furious after Kloss invited friends over for a party without asking for her permission.

A source close to the pair confirmed the story to The Post, stating that the two argued about the incident extensively.

The source added, Taylor got upset over something crazy, and then she just alienated Karlie.

The party incident later allegedly made Swift skip Kloss' wedding to Joshua Kushner, although according to a report in the Daily Mail, Kloss claimed that Taylor Swift didn't attend her wedding because she had a prior work commitment.

Despite their multiple fallouts, Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss have appeared to try to mend fences on numerous occasions.

But are Swift and Kloss still as close as they were?

On August 9, 2023, Karlie Kloss surprised everyone by attending Taylor Swift's Eras tour in Los Angeles.

However, while many other famous faces had been seen in the VIP area at several of her shows, Kloss was noticeably not there. Instead, she was seen sitting in the stands.
