Core Event: Kloss Praises the Couple on “Today”
On the July 28 episode of NBC’s *Today* show, supermodel Karlie Kloss was asked about the July 3 wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. She responded, “Listen, I try to protect the privacy of my friends’ personal lives… “But what I will say is that they’re an amazing couple and I’m so happy for them.” — Karlie Kloss” The brief comment marked the first public acknowledgment from Kloss about attending the ceremony, which she attended with husband Joshua Kushner.
Background & Context: Years of Rumored Fallout
Kloss and Swift first met backstage at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and quickly became close friends, appearing together at the 2014 American Music Awards and on a 2015 *Vogue* cover. Media reports in 2019 suggested a fallout over alleged “taking advantage of hospitality,” though neither party publicly confirmed the claim. In 2018 Kloss told *The New York Times* that she still spoke with Swift regularly and urged readers “Don’t believe everything you read.” She later attended Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Inglewood in August 2023 and “liked” Swift’s Instagram announcement of the Kelce engagement in August 2025.
