Karlie Kloss: ‘Kim has always been lovely to me’

Karlie Kloss says Kim Kardashian West is a "lovely person".

Although the reality TV star is locked in a long-running feud with Karlie’s best friend Taylor Swift, 26, the Victoria’s Secret model refused to badmouth Kim.

When asked in an interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine if Kim, 35, is a "good person", Karlie, 24, said: "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."

She went on to add: "My closest friends, really, are my sisters and my mum."

Taylor has been embroiled in a feud with Kim’s husband Kanye West, 39, over his controversial single ‘Famous’, after she claimed she didn’t give him permission to sing about her.

However, Kim then leaked a recorded conversation between the rap superstar and Taylor which confirmed she knew about the song – which features lyrics where he calls the ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker a bitch and says they might have sex.

But Taylor hit back and insisted she never approved the actual "bitch" lyric that Kanye used in the track.

She wrote on Instagram: "Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world."

Meanwhile, Karlie recently praised her and Taylor’s "girl squad", made up of the likes of Cara Delevingne, Ruby Rose and Gigi Hadid, for being supportive.

She said: "My friends are kind, caring, thoughtful people. I think that’s what draws everyone in the group together. We are all very supportive of each other. We’re a big network of really great friends who all have very international schedules and lives. We try to get together as much as possible, even if we’re all travelling in different places."
