In an appearance on [Andy Cohen](http://time.com/5521198/andy-cohen-baby-son/)‘s _Watch What Happens Live_, Kloss responded to a question sent in by a viewer about her relationship with Swift, in light of the essay Swift recently published in _Elle_ magazine [about social media](http://time.com/5546298/why-taylor-swift-turned-off-instagram-comments/), friendship and insecurities. “Taylor’s incredible, and I feel really lucky to call her a friend,” Kloss said, very diplomatically. “She’s one of the hardest working women, and I loved her essay.” [In that essay,](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a26628467/taylor-swift-30th-birthday-lessons/) which saw Swift reflecting on the lessons she’s learned as she approaches 30, she wrote: --- > “” --- Kloss and Swift have a long history together, but life has taken them in different directions of late, with Kloss focusing on her [coding projects](http://time.com/4721959/karlie-kloss-kode-with-klossy/), wedding with [Josh Kushner](http://time.com/5214948/joshua-kushner-march-for-our-lives/) and now TV hosting gigs. Swift, meanwhile, has been on a giant world tour for her album _Reputation_, and then has since kept a low profile while dating her British boyfriend — the actor Joe Alwyn — and filming for the upcoming film adaptation of the play _Cats_. But even if we don’t see them hanging out together all that frequently as we once did on Swift’s social media accounts, Kloss’s response should set to rest any rumors that the two aren’t still perfectly friendly. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5552596/karlie-kloss-taylor-swift-friends/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5552596/karlie-kloss-taylor-swift-friends/"},"headline":"Karlie Kloss Confirmed Her Taylor Swift Friendship Is Still Definitely Alive With a Sharp Answer","datePublished":"2019-03-15T17:50:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:58:07.335Z","description":"\"I feel really lucky to call her a friend\"","url":"https://time.com/5552596/karlie-kloss-taylor-swift-friends/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Taylor Swift","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5552596/karlie-kloss-taylor-swift-friends/","name":"Karlie Kloss Confirmed Her Taylor Swift Friendship Is Still Definitely Alive With a Sharp Answer"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME 100: Karlie Kloss","description":"Time 100 honoree and model Karlie Kloss on still being nervous when she's photographed and why she's passionate about coding.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0tEgInt2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-04-15T16:02:37.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0tEgInt2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5552596/karlie-kloss-taylor-swift-friends/","duration":"PT2M35S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5552596/karlie-kloss-taylor-swift-friends/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
