Karlie Kloss Talks Taylor Swift’s Wedding and Her New Coding Book for Kids

The Big News: A Secret Celebrity Wedding

Imagine the most exclusive party of the year. That was Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding on July 3, 2024, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Important Point: The couple kept almost everything a secret, but a few fun details leaked out:

• Guests received handkerchiefs embroidered with a "T&T" logo.
• Someone lucky caught the bouquet (though we’re still guessing who!).
• The guest list was star-studded, meaning tons of famous people were there.

Karlie Kloss Spills the Tea (Just a Little)

One famous guest was supermodel Karlie Kloss, who went with her husband, Joshua Kushner. Weeks later, on July 28, she visited the TODAY show to chat about it.

What she said:

"Listen, I try to protect the privacy of my friends’ personal lives. But what I will say is that they’re an amazing couple and I’m so happy for them."

Translation: “It was beautiful, they’re in love, and that’s all you’re getting from me!”

A Friendship Flashback: Karlie & Taylor

Karlie and Taylor go way back. Here’s the timeline:

1. 2013: They met at a fashion show.
2. 2015: Taylor confirmed to Vogue they were fast friends.
3. 2015: Karlie starred in Taylor’s "Bad Blood" music video (watch for her!).
4. 2016: The last time they were photographed together publicly.
5. 2018 & 2019: Taylor did not attend Karlie’s two wedding ceremonies to Joshua Kushner.

The Rumor Mill: For years, the internet gossiped they had a falling out.
The Truth (per a 2018 New York Times profile): Despite the rumors, "the pair continues to be good friends and they talk frequently."

So, Karlie showing up at Taylor’s wedding? It proves they’re still tight.

Karlie’s Real Passion: Teaching Girls to Code

While the wedding was a fun weekend, Karlie’s real life’s work is Kode With Klossy.

What is it?

• A non-profit she started over a decade ago.
• It runs camps connecting young girls with technology and computer science.
• Goal: Give girls opportunities and support in the tech world.

Her New Project: A Children’s Book!

On July 28 (same day as her TODAY appearance), Karlie released her first kids’ book:

Title: "Spaghetti Code: A Story About Problem-Solving, Pasta, and the Power of Big Ideas"
Ages: 4 to 8 years old
Series: Book 1 of 5 (confirmed by Publisher’s Weekly)

What is "Spaghetti Code" Anyway?

Karlie explained it simply on TODAY:

"Spaghetti code" = When your code is a hot mess.

• There’s a bug (mistake) hiding in there.
• It looks tangled, like a bowl of spaghetti.
• The lesson: Don’t panic! Work through it, fix it, and keep going.

Why a Kids’ Book?

Karlie (a mom of three) called writing it a "tall order" (super hard), but she wanted it to be:

• Really fun
• Visual (great pictures!)
• Inspired by her Kode With Klossy scholars — "incredible, passionate young women from around the world."
