Summary List Placement

Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss' friendship dates back to 2013, when the musician and the supermodel met backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. 

They became inseparable: They road-tripped through Big Sur, posed together for Vogue, and frequently posted pictures of their adventures on social media. 

But Kloss and Swift haven't been photographed together since 2018 — and many fans believe they had a falling out.

Though the model has named Swift as one of her "close friends" in recent years, the songstress didn't attend either of her wedding events. Instead, Kloss' guest list included Katy Perry and Scooter Braun, both of whom Swift has feuded with.

Below is a comprehensive timeline of their friendship. 

January 2012: Swift mentioned the model in her Vogue cover story

While walking around Prabal Gurung's studio during her 2012 Vogue interview, the "You Belong With Me" singer noticed a framed photo of Kloss hanging on the wall. 

"I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her!" she told the interviewer. 

Kloss, an avid baker that teamed up with Momofuku Milk Bar's Christina Tosi to launch her own line of treats called "Karlie's Kookies" in 2012, accepted Swift's invitation the same day the article was published. 

November 13, 2013: They had a playful interaction on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway

Swift strutted up and down the runway as she performed her song "I Knew You Were Trouble" at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. 

Kloss, the second model to walk during the "Snow Angels" portion of the show, pointed at Swift and lip-synced her lyrics as she passed by, stopping again to dance with the musician before exiting the stage. 

The duo also briefly held hands while Swift was performing "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" with Fall Out Boy. 

"We met at the show, we never met before but we're BFFs now. It's nice to meet another American girl, we're the same age and she's so inspiring — she's so talented and she's true to who she is. She's a cool girl and I'm glad she's in the show this year, she rocked it," Kloss told Hollywood Life on December 9, 2013. 

One month later, Kloss said her interaction with Swift was her "favorite" moment from the show.

 

Kloss also posted a behind-the-scenes photo with Swift with the lyrics from "Love Story," the supermodel's favorite of Swift's songs.

The introduction left a mark on Swift as well.

Kloss shared several memories from their time on the road as they took "on an adventure of a lifetime" through California.

 

She also posted a selfie of her and Swift hugging in front of an elephant seal.
