Karlie Kloss is still a Swiftie.
The model sat down for an interview with Yahoo! News recently, nearly a year after she surprised fans by attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Los Angeles, despite longtime rumors of a feud between the two former besties. When asked by the publication about her favorite song from Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, Kloss replied, “I’d say the whole album. I mean, her music is classic.”
As a follow-up, she was asked about her favorite Swift song. “She’s got so many hits. I definitely love ‘Shake It Off,’” Kloss replied.
Kloss and Swift had one of the most memorable friendships during Swift’s 1989 era, and the model even appeared alongside other members of the pop star’s “girl squad” in the “Bad Blood” music video. Rumors have swirled in recent years that Swift and the former Victoria’s Secret supermodel had a falling out, and even though it’s been a long time since the two were photographed together, Kloss shut down theories of a feud back in 2018.
In an interview with The New York Times, the model briefly cleared the air on the Internet gossip, noting that they’re still pals and talk often. “Don’t believe everything you read,” she said.
Following the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in 2023, Swift addressed an often intrusive subject of the Swiftie fandom that speculated on Swift’s sexuality for years and maintained that Swift and Kloss were in a secret romantic relationship that dates back to 2014.
“If I only hung out with my female friends, people couldn’t sensationalize or sexualize that — right? I would learn later on that people could and people would,” Swift wrote in the album’s prologue. “Maybe a girl who surrounds herself with female friends in adulthood is making up for a lack of them in childhood (not starting a tyrannical hot girl cult).”
