Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss‘ NFL reunion may have been written in the stars, according to some fans.
The BFFs — who were previously rumored to have fallen out — were spotted in a suite together watching the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, November 8. As the pair cheered on Swift’s husband, Travis Kelce, some fans wondered whether the pop star recently hinted at their reconciliation.
“I think when people hear the song ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ at the end of Toy Story 5, I think it would be really awesome if they thought of somebody that they had amazing memories with that they haven’t seen in a long time, or someone that they miss, knowing that that person could come back into their life,” Swift, 36, said in a clip from the Toy Story 5 premiere this summer, referring to the song she recorded for the animated film.
She continued, “Or just the feeling that, like, sometimes people’s paths diverge and that doesn’t mean that that’s the last time you get to feel those memories or know that person. Sometimes when you look back on your childhood, those memories, that’s special in itself.”
The video made the rounds on social media following Swift and Kloss’ reunion on Sunday, with some Swifties theorizing that the women’s once-close friendship may have partly inspired the song’s message.
Swift and Kloss, 34, were nearly inseparable after connecting in 2012, but years later, fans suspected their relationship took a turn. While Kloss consistently shut down speculation of a rift, the duo stopped spending time together publicly — with Swift even missing out on Kloss’ second wedding to Joshua Kushner in 2019.
In 2023, Kloss supported Swift during her Eras Tour, catching a concert in Los Angeles, but she was watching from the stands instead of being in the VIP tent with many of Swift’s other besties.
Two years later, Kloss subtly celebrated Swift’s engagement to Kelce, 37, by “liking” the couple’s Instagram announcement. The supermodel and Kushner, 41, were later seen stepping out for Swift and Kelce’s star-studded wedding in New York City this summer.
“I [try] to be the friend that I want people to be to me,” Kloss said on Sara and Erin Foster‘s “World’s First Podcast” in July, weeks after attending the nuptials. “We all are so busy, I have to say, some of my realest [and] closest friends, it’ll be months where we don’t have time to have a three-hour FaceTime date, which I would love, but we DM.”
Kloss added that she felt “very grateful” for the “real” friends in her life, reflecting on how social media plays a role in maintaining closeness.
“I respond to their [Instagram] Stories, they respond to mine. It’s so dumb, [but it connects us],” she stated. “I think this was [part of] growing into my 20s was realizing, like, the friend that I wanted to be. We put so much emphasis on romantic relationships, but I actually think … when you’re so busy with your family and work, friendships can often not get watered, but they are so critical.”
