Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss are closer than ever after a painful falling out.
The former best friends shocked fans when they were spotted together at the Kansas City Chiefs game Sunday, but a source exclusively told Page Six the two are now closer than they’ve been in years after putting their past differences behind them.
“Taylor and Karlie were attached at the hip for years. They did everything together, so when their friendship started to fall apart, it was a big change,” the insider said.

“There were things that happened over the years that created distance between them.”
The source explained that the Grammy winner, 36, and former Victoria’s Secret Angel, 34, went through a period when they barely spent time together.
“There was definitely a period when their friendship cooled off. They weren’t spending time together like they used to. They just weren’t close anymore,” the insider said.
“But that wasn’t permanent. They patched things up a few years ago and have both moved past what happened,” the source explained.

“They’re in a good place now, and Taylor inviting Karlie to her wedding was reflective of that,” the source said of Swift’s July 2026 wedding to Travis Kelce at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. “Taylor genuinely wanted her there for such an important moment in her life.”
The insider added that the pair’s recent public reunion wasn’t the beginning of their reconciliation.
“They’ve been cool with each other for a while now, but things are definitely better between them than they’ve been in a long time, and they’ve gotten a lot closer again.”
Reps for Swift and Kloss did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Swift and Kloss sent fans into a frenzy Sunday when they were photographed sitting together in a VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., while watching the singer’s husband and the Chiefs take on the New York Jets.
The former frenemies were seen cheering and hugging during the game, with Swift’s mom, Andrea and Travis’ mom, Donna, also joining them.
Their outing came four months after Kloss attended Swift and Kelce’s star-studded July wedding alongside her husband, Joshua Kushner.
The model later addressed the nuptials during an appearance on the “Today” show, telling the hosts she preferred to keep her friends’ personal lives private.

Their friendship quickly blossomed, with the two frequently spotted spending time together in New York City and attending star-studded events.
They even graced the cover of Vogue together in 2015, the same year Kloss appeared in Swift’s famous “Bad Blood” music video alongside several members of the pop star’s celebrity girl squad.

However, rumors of a falling out began circulating years later as the once inseparable friends were rarely seen together.
Speculation intensified when Swift failed to attend Kloss’ wedding celebrations with Kushner in 2018 and 2019.
In August 2019, Page Six reported that their friendship had become strained after Kloss allegedly took advantage of Swift’s hospitality by inviting friends to the singer’s home without permission.
A rep for Kloss denied the claim at the time.

Despite the rumors, Kloss previously insisted the two remained friends.
In 2018, she told the New York Times that she and Swift still spoke frequently, adding, “Don’t believe everything you read.”
