Karlie Kloss is enchanted by her former bestie’s news.
Despite their rumored falling out years ago, the model showed subtle support for Taylor Swift after she announced her engagement to Travis Kelce following two years of dating.
Alongside several photos of the moment the Kansas City Chiefs tight end popped the question to the Grammy winner in Missouri, the couple wrote in a joint Instagram Aug. 26, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
And Karlie made it clear that she was excited about the update by hitting the like button on the adorable post.
Indeed, the Kode with Klossy founder was one of several celebrities to offer their well-wishes on social media, along with Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes, Meghan Markle and Sabrina Carpenter.
But this isn’t the first time Karlie has celebrated Taylor’s accomplishments since their friendship allegedly fizzled out. After all, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel proved she has no bad blood with the “Cruel Summer” singer in 2023, when she attended her record-breaking Eras Tour show in Los Angeles.
Plus, the following year, the 33-year-old revealed that she’s still a big fan of her former pal’s music and listened to Taylor’s 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department in its entirety.
“She’s got so many hits,” Karlie told Yahoo Life in July 2024 interview before sharing one of her all-time favorite Taylor songs. “I definitely love ‘Shake It Off.'”
As for Taylor, she’s never publicly addressed what went down with Karlie, who had been a staple of her 1989 era squad. However, she recently shared that she doesn’t pay much attention to speculation about her.
“Anything you feed your brain, it will internalize,” Taylor said during her Aug. 13 appearance on Travis’ New Heights podcast. “Anything you feed the internet, it will kill. I’ve been in the music industry for 20 years. It’s pretty hard to hurt my feelings at this point.”
She added, “Something can be about me, my name can be in the actual headline, and it can still be none of my business.”
