The Kansas City Chiefs earned their sixth victory of the 2026 NFL regular season against the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, but for Swifties, the game's outcome was only part of a much bigger story.
Legendary singer-songwriter Taylor Swift attended Kansas City's Week 9 matchup against the Jets to watch her husband — Chiefs star Travis Kelce — with an old friend, supermodel and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss.
Swift and Kloss appeared on the Cover of Vogue together in 2015 but had seen their friendship sour in the late 2010s, according to USA Today Entertainment Reporter KiMi Robinson:
"Rumors of a falling-out [between Swift and Kloss] started around 2017 and 2018 and seemed to be confirmed in 2019 when Kloss vacationed with one of Swift’s
main antagonists, Scooter Braun, who also attended one of her two weddings," Robinson wrote in a postgame explainer. "This happened around the same time Braun purchased Swift’s master recordings – which he later sold to Shamrock Capital – allegedly without her prior knowledge."
It is unclear exactly how the relationship was mended, but Swift's attendance with Kloss is said to be part of a broader reconciliation.
"The first sign that the joint 2015 Vogue cover stars were on amicable terms in recent years came when Kloss attended Swift's final Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles on Aug. 9, 2023," Robinson explained.
While Kansas City's up-and-down performance against New York might not have provided the best social lubrication for Swift's rapprochement with Kloss, the celebrity duo got to witness a Travis Kelce rushing touchdown in the Week 9 matchup, which is sure to have provided an excellent opportunity for the old friends to celebrate together on Sunday.
