Taylor Swift appears to mock Kim Kardashian in 'thanK you aIMee'

In the explosive track, Swift doesn't hold back, with lyrics that appear to mock Kardashian's appearance and reputation. Swift sings, "There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you and a plaque underneath it/That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school."

She continues, "All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' / And I can't forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed 'F**k you, Aimee' to the night sky, as the blood was gushin' / But I can't forget the way you made me heal."

Swift's lyrical assault doesn't end there. She adds, "And it wasn't a fair fight, or a clean kill / Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе / And then she wrote hеadlines/ In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd take."

The song's closing lines seem to confirm that "Aimee" is a subtle reference to Kardashian, with Swift singing, "And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues/And one day, your kid comes home singin' a song that only us two is gonna know is about you."

Notably, the capitalized letters "K," "I," and "M" within the track's title spell out Kardashian's name.

Swift-Kardashian feud's origins

The bitter feud between Swift and Kardashian started with the singer's infamous clash with Kardashian's ex-husband, Kanye West, at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

West infamously stormed the stage during Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video, declaring that Beyonce should have won the award instead.

The incident sparked a wave of backlash against West, besides the ongoing feud between the rapper and Swift.

In 2016, Kardashian reignited the drama by releasing a recorded phone call between West and Swift, which Kardashian claimed proved that Swift had approved controversial lyrics about her in West's song 'Famous'.

Swift denied approving the lyrics, and the feud escalated into a heated public battle, with both sides accusing the other of lying and manipulation.

Internet in frenzy after release of 'thanK you aIMee'

The release of 'thanK you aIMee' has sent Swift's fans into a frenzy, with social media platforms erupting with reactions and speculation. One X user exclaimed, "Has anyone checked on Kim Kardashian after Taylor Swift just handed her her ass on a silver platter."

Another chimed in, "Dude Taylor Swift just BODIED @KimKardashian and IT IS FANTASTIC." A third user remarked, "Kim Kardashian thinking she survived another album just to be called out in the surprise album."

Meanwhile, another individual exclaimed, "OMG, TAYLOR SWIFT'S EPIC RESPONSE TO KIM KARDASHIAN WAS UNEXPECTED! 2024 IS FULL OF SURPRISES!" A fifth user quipped, "Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Aaron Dessner on their way to end Kim Kardashian."

Another user expressed disbelief, stating, "HOLY SHIT TAYLOR SWIFT REALLY JUST DISSED KIM KARDASHIAN ON HER NEW ALBUM WITH CLASS LIKE WHAT WTF IS HAPPENING?!" Someone else speculated, "I think Taylor Swift just called out Kim Kardashian."
