From Hollywood to Home: Black Voices in Entertainment
- Wedding on July 3 at Madison Square Garden drew a star studded crowd; guests noted T&T embroidered handkerchiefs and who caught the bouquet.
- Longtime friends Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift met in 2013, collaborated in 2015, but have not been publicly seen together since 2016.
- Karlie Kloss founded Kode With Klossy; her children’s book Spaghetti Code (out July 28) teaches coding to ages 4 to 8.
Weeks after being photographed heading to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding in New York, Karlie Kloss opened up about the nuptials.
“Listen, I try to protect the privacy of my friends’ personal lives,” Kloss said during an appearance on TODAY on July 28. “But what I will say is that they’re an amazing couple and I’m so happy for them.”
Swift and Kelce’s wedding unfolded on July 3 in New York, drawing a star-studded crowd to Madison Square Garden. While most of the wedding has been kept secret, guests have shared a few details, like handkerchiefs embroidered with a T&T logo and who, exactly, caught the bouquet.
Kloss and Swift met at a fashion show in 2013, Swift confirmed to Vogue in 2015, and became fast friends. The two shared bits of their friendship with the world and the press. Kloss even appeared in Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2015.
However, the two have not been photographed or seen together publicly since 2016. Swift did not attend either of Kloss’ wedding ceremonies to Joshua Kushner in 2018 and 2019. Of their friendship, a 2018 New York Times profile of Kloss said, “Despite internet gossip suggesting otherwise, the pair continues to be good friends and they talk frequently.”
Kloss, meanwhile, is interested in untangling a different type of problem. Over a decade ago, the former supermodel started a non-profit technology education program, Kode With Klossy, a camp that connects young girls with opportunities and support in the technology and computer science space.
Her first children’s book, “Spaghetti Code: A Story About Problem-Solving, Pasta, and the Power of Big Ideas,” out July 28, introduces coding concepts to 4 to 8-year-olds.
“‘Spaghetti code’ is a term that means when your code is a hot mess. There’s a bug in there somewhere and you’ve got to fix it,” Kloss said on TODAY. “The idea is to not get frustrated or overwhelmed when you hit a mistake, but to work through it and keep going.”
The mom of three called her leap into writing a children’s picture book about coding principles a “tall order,” but wanted it to be “really fun and visual.”
“‘Spaghetti Code’ is really inspired by our scholars, who are these incredible, passionate young women from around the world,” Kloss said.
“Spaghetti Code” is the first in a five-book series, per Publisher’s Weekly.
