Oh, honey. NO! Yesterday, we discussed a brief snippet from Karlie Kloss’s Sunday Times Style interview, in which Karlie sort of fell head-first into the ongoing Summer of Receipts. To do a bare-bones recap: Karlie and Taylor Swift are BFFs, but Karlie never said anything publicly to support Taylor in Tay-Tay’s beef with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. It always read to me that Karlie just didn’t want to get involved with Taylor’s drama and shenanigans, like Karlie was “above” that kind of nonsense. So it was interesting when Karlie was asked directly if she thinks Kim Kardashian is a “good person.” Karlie’s answer?

“Ha … you know … I honestly … I … I … I think she’s been a lovely person to me in the past. Look, I really don’t know her that well.”

I laughingly wrote yesterday that Karlie’s name was being added to Taylor’s Sh-t List. But no! As it turns out, Olivia and Meredith sent out an S-O-S to Karlie using their paws and Tom Hiddleston’s confiscated phone. Perhaps Karlie even got a phone call from Kitty Shenanigans Mountain with a sobbing Taylor Swift trilling, “How could you do this to me, Karlie?!?” All I know for sure is that somebody said something to somebody, because Karlie posted these tweets on Tuesday:

I will not allow the media to misconstrue my words. Taylor has always had my back and I will always have hers.

and I will never be the girl that you can use to pit women against each other. That isn’t me.

First of all, what was there to misconstrue? Karlie was asked if she thinks Kim is a good person and her answer was basically, “she’s been lovely to me in the past but I don’t know her that well.” It was non-committal and low-drama, unless you expected Karlie to suddenly go HAM on Kim Kardashian. Which is probably what Taylor expected and what she expects from all of her squad members. As for “I will never be the girl that you can use to pit women against each other. That isn’t me.” Talk to your BFF Taylor about pitting herself against women. Talk to your BFF about how she went after Katy Perry and used her “girl squad” to do it.
