Karlie Kloss did attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, despite fan theories that tried to turn her appearance into another mystery.
The model was photographed leaving Madison Square Garden in the early hours after the couple’s July 3 wedding in New York City.
Just Jared reported that the new photos shut down speculation that Kloss had only been photographed outside her home and never actually went inside the venue.
Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner, were part of the wedding crowd at Madison Square Garden.

Kloss was first seen leaving her New York City home with Kushner before the wedding. She wore a strapless gold Tove gown, while Kushner wore a suit with a bow tie.
Because of the long-running rumors around Kloss and Swift’s friendship, some fans questioned whether the photos actually proved she went to the wedding. Just Jared reported that Kloss was later photographed in a car leaving Madison Square Garden early Saturday morning, confirming that she had attended the celebration.
The outlet directly addressed the online theory that Kloss had staged paparazzi photos outside her home but did not attend the wedding, writing that the claim was not true.
PEOPLE Reported Kloss Was on the Guest List
PEOPLE reported that Kloss and Kushner attended Swift and Kelce’s wedding together. The outlet noted that her appearance came after years of speculation about a possible falling out between Kloss and Swift.
Kloss followed the black-tie dress code in a strapless gold gown and red lipstick. WWD identified the look as a liquid-gold Tove gown styled with silver thong sandals and a bold red lip.
Gold tones and red lipstick have both been closely associated with Swift’s public image, which made Kloss’ arrival photos an immediate topic for fans.
The Old Friendship Rumors Came Back Quickly
Kloss and Swift were once very publicly close. PEOPLE reported that the pair met at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and their friendship later became one of the most visible parts of Swift’s mid-2010s circle.
The two appeared together on the cover of Vogue in 2015 and were frequently photographed together during Swift’s 1989 era. Rumors of a rift grew later after fans noticed fewer public appearances between them.
PEOPLE reported that Kloss has denied feud speculation in past interviews and has continued to speak warmly about Swift. Kloss also attended Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023, which fueled another round of debate about where the friendship stood.
The Wedding Photos Gave Fans a Clear Answer
Kloss attending Swift’s wedding does show that she was included in one of the biggest personal events of Swift’s life.
For years, fans treated Kloss and Swift’s relationship as an open question. Her presence at the July 3 wedding gave them one confirmed answer: Kloss was there.
Swift and Kelce’s wedding drew a large celebrity guest list, with Reuters reporting that stars including Jennifer Lopez, Ed Sheeran, Jimmy Fallon, Hugh Grant, Jason Sudeikis and Ethan Hawke were seen entering Madison Square Garden.
