Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss were back beside each other at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, sharing a private suite for a Kansas City Chiefs game. The outing offered a rare public glimpse of the longtime friends together.
The singer, 36, and model, 34, watched Kansas City face the New York Jets on November 8, with Swift there to cheer on her husband, Travis Kelce.
The afternoon marked Kelce’s 200th regular-season NFL game, a milestone identified in the Jets’ official preview.
Their friendship has been the subject of rift rumors for years. Neither woman has publicly confirmed a falling-out.

Kloss brought Levi, her five-year-old son with husband Joshua Kushner, according to TMZ. Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, also attended.
The friends were filmed chatting during the game. They also stood, applauded and shared a celebratory hug, E! News reported.
Swift was last publicly seen at the Chiefs’ October 18 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. She was not seen at the team’s subsequent road games against Seattle and Denver, as Elle reported.
Kloss Attended Swift and Kelce’s Wedding in July
Kloss and Kushner attended Swift and Kelce’s July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The model was photographed heading to the arena in a gold strapless dress, Us Weekly reported.
Asked about the celebration during her July 28 appearance on Today, Kloss declined to share the details, explaining that she wanted to protect her friends’ privacy. She did offer a brief assessment of the newlyweds.
“They’re an amazing couple and I’m so happy for them,” she said.
Their Friendship Began Backstage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Swift and Kloss first met backstage at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, where Swift performed and Kloss walked the runway. Their mutual friend, model Lily Aldridge, introduced them.
They returned to the event together in 2014 and appeared on the March 2015 cover of Vogue. The accompanying story described their road trip to California’s Big Sur, along with the shopping trips, workouts and sleepovers that had become part of their friendship.
Kloss also appeared in Swift’s 2015 “Bad Blood” music video, joining a cast that included several of the singer’s celebrity friends.
By March 2018, Kloss was answering questions about their relationship. A New York Times profile described Swift as one of her closest friends and said the two spoke frequently. Kloss’s own response to the speculation was simple: “Don’t believe everything you read.”
That August, Kloss attended Swift’s Reputation Tour stop in Nashville and shared a backstage photograph of them together. She was also spotted at an Eras Tour concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in August 2023, as Entertainment Tonight reported.
