Rumors have been following Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift for a while now, with some fans speculating that the two celebs have gone through a "friendship breakup." The gossip started earlier this year after Karlie posted an Instagram video of herself playing basketball and captioned it "Swish swish," which is, of course, also the title of a Katy Perry song. Some fans thought things got even more suspect when Karlie was spotted hanging out with Katy last month. (Of course, Karlie can be friends with whomever she wants, and the whole "pitting women against one another" theme is just so tired.)

Nevertheless, some fans took the rumor and ran with it — even going so far as to spam Karlie's social media accounts with the rat emoji. But now, the model is weighing in on the rumored rift with Taylor — and her response is pretty perfect, TBH.

In conversation with The New York Times, Karlie was asked about the so-called friend breakup. Her answer? "Don't believe everything you read."

And honestly, she has a great point. There's a lot of gossip out there on the internet (and social media definitely adds fuel to the fire). It's always a good idea to take rumors with a grain of salt — until you hear it from the celebrity themselves. As for Karlie and Taylor, they seem to be doing just fine. The New York Times points out that they are "good friends" and "talk frequently." Add the sweet 'gram that Karlie posted for Taylor's birthday last year into the mix, and fans certainly have no reason to worry about their BFF status.
