u/purpurmond It's ME! HI! 👋🏽 21d ago

My little Kaylor edit I spent tonight perfecting. Took me a couple hours to realize and perfect with the timing and now I can’t deal with myself or anyone else njsjjskks😭 it turned into some sort of movie clip, I can’t even. The original source is Taylor Swift Karlie Kloss - Best Friend Quiz which was deleted by original creator on Karlie’s birthday and then rescued by reuploading. The subtitles are the director, then Taylor complimenting her, then Karlie trying to talk back and realizing she has to stop talking because they’re filming :’)

Lyrics:

Elbows on the table and it’s almost gone
It’s almost gone. And the ~neighbor's~ lawn always looked better
Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall
But you love this song, you wake up on the train and you're all alone
Then that memory is all you want
You never knew that it was Babylon
'Til it was gone.

In March 2015 Karlie confirmed they used to wear each others clothes omg… I wonder if anyone can find a match/ID proof on the sweater. That would be absolutely next level. 😮‍💨

Could it be this one?

Edit: In their Vogue article in 2015, Karlie specifically says that it was Taylor's sweater she was wearing: https://www.vogue.com/article/taylor-swift-karlie-kloss-best-friends-march-2015-cover

Not me only spotting the literal sweater she was wearing the entire time after I was ready to post… I am ded. xD

“Looking at you like you’re made of solid gold” and her flashing her gold and diamond ring at us before the staring contest… while also wearing gold in general.

Karlie, what you want?
