Taylor and Karlie were once so close that some fans speculated<\/a> they were actually secretly dating. They seem to have met around 2013 and in subsequent years<\/a> were frequently seen attending events, chilling out, and vacationing together.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n In October 2016, they were photographed on a night out with Serena Williams and Dakota Johnson in one of their last notable public interactions. Karlie posted an enthusiastic birthday message to Taylor on Instagram that December, but there seemed to be no interaction between the pair in the next year. Karlie did wish Taylor happy birthday in December 2017, but it didn’t put an end to\u00a0speculation<\/a>\u00a0about what had gone down between the two.<\/p>\n In March 2018, Karlie\u00a0told The New York Times<\/a>, “Don’t believe everything you read,” and later that year she attended Taylor’s\u00a0Reputation<\/i>\u00a0tour, posting about how “proud” she was and\u00a0later\u00a0telling Vogue<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0the pair were still “really good friends.”<\/p>\n But when Karlie\u00a0married Joshua Kushner in 2018 and held another wedding in 2019, Taylor\u00a0attended neither<\/a>\u00a0due to “prior commitments” \u2014 although Scooter Braun\u00a0did<\/i>\u00a0attend\u00a0the 2019 event and later was seen hanging out with Karlie\u00a0not long after<\/a>\u00a0he had purchased Taylor’s masters.<\/p>\n In 2023, Karlie attended the\u00a0Eras<\/i>\u00a0tour but\u00a0wasn’t seated in the VIP section<\/a>\u00a0like other celeb attendees, fueling further speculation about a rift.<\/p>\n
