 Since becoming friends in 2013, Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss, 22, do everything together. They go on shopping sprees, they cook, they work out, and now they are both on the March 2015 cover of Vogue.  The two extremely tall beauties reenacted their 2014 road trip to Big Sur for the shoot and swapped out their regular clothes for high-fashion garb. “People had been telling us for years we needed to meet,” Taylor tells the magazine. “I remember makeup artists and hair people going, ‘Doesn’t she remind you of Karlie? God, she and Karlie would be best friends. They’re the same.'” Their friendship began at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2013 when Taylor was a performer, and Karlie walked. Fellow model and Taylor galpal Lily Aldridge introduced them and well, the rest is history. Karlie explains in the issue, “I’ve met a lot of really great girls through Taylor. She’s incredible at connecting people who might not normally meet.”  The soon-to-be student in NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study continues, “We’re all in different jobs, but we’ve become strong friends who are there for each other— a sisterhood of girls, a support team. But we’re also just normal 20-something girls, and I think you have to have people that you can be that with.” Karlie adds, “You know, real friends are hard to find — and Taylor’s a real friend. There’s nothing better.” And these ladies are so in sync that they even dress alike. Both the "Shake it Off" singer and the L’Oreal spokesperson recall how they were recently both in black crop tops and high-waisted skirts with Taylor joking, “’Ugh, be more annoying.’ We couldn’t possibly be.”  And though I’m sure all her friends from Karlie, Lorde to Lena Dunham and Selena Gomez are quite familiar with her music, Taylor is just Taylor around them. She leaves the country-turned-pop-princess title and accolades at home.  “The fun thing about my friends is that they don’t necessarily know a lot about what I do business-wise,” the 25-year-old says in the interview. “I’m not the person who grabs the guitar at a party and wants all the attention. I have attention on me enough, so I want my friends to just like me because we have things in common rather than me sitting in a corner being like, ‘Listen to this song that I wrote about my life!’” |

 At Karlie Kloss’ 21st birthday party 1¹/₂ years ago, the 6-foot-1 supermodel celebrated with her nearest and dearest at Midtown’s Paramount Hotel. She sipped Champagne with some of the biggest names in fashion — from models Cara Delevingne and Joan Smalls to designer Prabal Gurung — and rocked a semisheer red lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. But the wildest it got was when her grandmother Stella boogied on the dance floor. Kloss continued the festivities with a family trip to Disney World, posting pictures of herself grinning in Mickey ears on Instagram. Not exactly a debauched coming-of-age bash like, say, the one Kate Moss had at LA’s Viper Room in 1995, which ended when singer Jason Donovan had a cocaine-induced seizure.  Then again, we’re talking about someone who says “darn it!” and makes cookies for fun. Perhaps it’s no surprise that Taylor Swift, music’s good girl, has chosen Kloss — her fashion-world doppelganger — as her BFF. The two gorgeous It girls grace the cover of Vogue this week, giving a peek into their PG-rated friendship — from trips to Big Sur and SoulCycle to nights spent baking and watching movies. The duo is a refreshing antidote to the other famous crew that’s been spotted all over Fashion Week: the Kardashians.  So, who is Swift’s co-cover girl? Born in Chicago and raised in St. Louis, the 22-year-old stunner is one of the most in-demand models of the moment — and she’s been in the biz for eight years. Kloss raked in $4 million in 2014, according to Forbes, and fronts five new ad campaigns, on top of her Victoria’s Secret Angel wings, a contract with L’Oréal Paris and her 1.9 million Instagram followers.  “Karlie beats the odds. If a girl is too commercial no one wants to work with her,” James Scully, casting director for high-fashion brands like Tom Ford, tells The Post. “She’s reached commercial success and they’re all shooting her. It’s a great testament to her tenacity and ability to be versatile.” Nearly a decade into a career in a fickle business obsessed with “fresh faces,” Kloss has managed the tricky feat of remaining not only relevant, but cool. At a Fashion Week party at Midtown’s Pacha Thursday night — the setting for a Nile Rodgers music video — Kloss turned heads in a skintight, white Versace bodysuit while dancing onstage. Kloss hangs out with her boyfriend, hunky 6-foot-3 tech investor and Harvard MBA Josh Kushner, who backed Instagram in the early days. The 29-year-old scion of the Kushner real-estate dynasty and brother of Jared, Ivanka Trump’s husband, was first photographed with Kloss in the summer of 2013. That is, when she’s not with bestie T-Swift, whom she met backstage at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2013. Now they both live downtown — Kloss owns a townhouse in the West Village while Taylor has a penthouse in Tribeca, where she reportedly keeps a spare room for when Kloss visits. “People had been telling us for years we needed to meet,” Swift tells Vogue. “I remember makeup artists and hair people going, ‘Doesn’t she remind you of Karlie? God, she and Karlie would be best friends. They’re the same. Karlie’s such a good girl. She brings us cookies every time we do a shoot.’ ” |
