  • Taylor Swift released two additional songs from the deluxe version of "Evermore," her ninth studio album, to streaming platforms on Thursday.
  • Fans are convinced that the lyrics to one of the tracks, "It's Time to Go," are about supermodel Karlie Kloss.
  • The lyrics read: "When the words of a sister come back in whispers / That prove she was not in fact what she seemed / Not a twin from your dreams / She's a crook who was caught."
  • Kloss was Swift's best friend for years before they seemed to grow apart around 2018.
  • The model then began spending time with Scooter Braun and Katy Perry, both of whom feuded with Swift in the past.

Taylor Swift's fans think she took a dig at Karlie Kloss on one of her "Evermore" bonus tracks.

On Thursday, the 31-year-old musician released two additional songs from the deluxe edition of her ninth studio album to streaming platforms. One of them, titled "It's Time to Go," led fans to wonder if Swift wrote the track about a falling out with the 28-year-old supermodel.

The lyrics read: "When the words of a sister come back in whispers / That prove she was not in fact what she seemed / Not a twin from your dreams / She's a crook who was caught."

Swift's new album contains plenty of Easter eggs and references to real-life stories, so fans wondered if the mention of a "sister" and "twin" were a nod to her once tight-knit friendship with Kloss, which seemed to dissolve around 2018.

Although neither Swift nor Kloss explained why they publicly drifted apart, many people speculated that it was because the supermodel began spending time with Scooter Braun and Katy Perry, both of whom have feuded with the "Folklore" artist in the past.

So, fans speculated that the words "whispers" and "crook" in "It's Time to Go" hinted at the possible betrayal Swift felt toward the end of their friendship.

The track as a whole focuses on knowing when it's time to move on from a situation that's no longer serving you, so it would also make sense for Swift to use a friendship that ended as an example.

Neither Swift nor Kloss has confirmed the meaning behind the lyrics, but fans still hashed out the theory upon listening to "It's Time to Go."

"It's Time to Go" isn't the first parallel Swift's fans have drawn between the musician's recent work and Kloss.

The same day that Swift announced that she was releasing her surprise eighth studio album, "Folklore," in July 2020, the supermodel posted a photo on social media that shared an eerie resemblance with the "Folklore" album cover.

Both Kloss and Swift posed in the woods, surrounded by large trees.

Kloss didn't mention "Folklore" in her post and never confirmed that the photo was related to the album, but fans still wondered if the photo was a subtle nod to Swift.

Representatives for Kloss didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
