Supermodel Karlie Kloss addressed her attendance at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded July 3 wedding during a July 28 appearance on the Today show, describing the couple as amazing while emphasizing her commitment to protecting friends’ personal privacy.
Weeks after being photographed heading to Madison Square Garden in New York City, Karlie Kloss has broken her silence regarding the high-profile nuptials of Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Kloss appeared on the morning talk show to promote her new children’s picture book, Spaghetti Code, about a girl who uses coding to help out an Italian restaurant, but the conversation quickly turned to the much-discussed summer ceremony. Kloss, 33, was spotted at the star-studded nuptials alongside husband and venture capitalist Joshua Kushner.
Inside the Star-Studded Madison Square Garden Celebration
The July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden drew a star-studded crowd and a reported thousand-plus people, with many of them A-listers. Guests described Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding as they were leaving the festivities in New York. Guests included Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler and Zoë Kravitz.
When asked on TODAY about what it was like to attend the event, Kloss kept her remarks measured. Listen, I try to protect the privacy of my friends' personal lives,
Kloss said during an appearance on TODAY on July 28. But what I will say is that they're an amazing couple and I'm so happy for them.
The couple were among several A-list attendees at the July 3 ceremony, which also featured handkerchiefs embroidered with a T&T logo and who, exactly, caught the bouquet.
Other attendees and family members have offered similar glimpses into the day. Kylie Kelce agrees that the day of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding was a fairy tale. It was absolutely magical,
the mom of flower girls Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and 15-month-old Finnley shared on the July 23 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast. I'm so happy for them. We love them so, so dearly.
The July 3 nuptial blowout at Madison Square Garden—also featuring Kylie’s husband Jason Kelce as best man and Taylor’s brother Austin Swift as man of honor—was intimate and incredible and full of love,
she continued, both for each other and everybody else's love for them.
And the vow swap was only making it official,
Kylie noted, because Taylor's been part of the family now for quite some time.
Reconciliation and the Evolution of a Decadelong Friendship
Kloss’s presence at the wedding drew significant attention from fans and media outlets due to years of public speculation regarding the status of her friendship with Swift. Kloss and Swift met at a fashion show in 2013, Swift confirmed to Vogue in 2015, and became fast friends. Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss sparked a nearly inseparable bond back in 2012, but their friendship appeared to take a turn for the worst over time. The two shared bits of their friendship with the world and the press. Kloss even appeared in Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2015. However, the two have not been photographed or seen together publicly since 2016. Swift did not attend either of Kloss’ wedding ceremonies to Joshua Kushner.
Kloss and the 36-year-old pop superstar were considered pretty inseparable during Swift’s “1989” era in the 2010s, though fans have speculated there was a falling out in the years since. This accounted for a great many headlines after Kloss and husband Joshua Kushner were photographed en route to the July 3 midtown wedding, attended by a reported thousand-plus people, many of them A-listers. Speculation about the wedding was at an all-time high in the run-up to the nuptials of Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 36. The streets surrounding the World’s Most Famous Arena were shuttered to the public for much of the Fourth of July weekend, though that didn’t stop dedicated Swifties from congregating.
Literary Pursuits and What Comes Next
While media outlets continue to parse celebrity guest lists and search for official imagery from the ceremony—with a July statement noting that “The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom”—Kloss’s primary focus has returned to her work promoting her children’s book, Spaghetti Code.
After diving into the ins and outs of writing an empowering and informative book for children, Kloss got hit with the big question regarding Taylor Swift’s wedding. As far as Karlie Kloss is concerned, what happens in the Swift squad stays in the Swift squad. Concluding her brief foray into wedding talk on the July 23 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie Kelce added, So, that's that. Anything else, you can check in with Taylor and Travis about, because any of the details that they want to share, they can share.
