Taylor Swift's Kim Kardashian diss track 'Thank You AIMee' gets new title targeting different celeb
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift has once again ignited her longstanding feud with Kanye West by subtly changing the title of her controversial track, as reported by The Daily Mail.
Originally released in April as 'thanK you aIMee,' a title that many fans interpreted as a veiled jab at Kim Kardashian, Swift has now released a live version with a new twist.
The title has been changed to 'thank You aimEe,' with the capitalized "Y" and "E" now appearing to reference Kanye West, who legally changed his name to Ye.

This latest development in the Swift-Kanye saga comes just days after Swift's album 'The Tortured Poets Department' blocked Kanye's new release, 'Vultures 2,' from debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
Kanye's album, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, was overshadowed by Swift's commercial success, marking a rare defeat for the rapper, whose previous 11 albums all reached number one.
Kanye seemingly responded to Swift's dominance with a diss of his own, referencing her romance with NFL star Travis Kelce in the track 'Lifestyle (Demo),' where he raps, "I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce," taking a clear shot at the pop star's current relationship.
The tension between Swift and the Kardashian-West family dates back to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where Kanye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech to praise Beyonce. The incident sparked a feud that has simmered for years, with multiple public clashes and musical digs exchanged between the two stars.
In 2016, Kanye further escalated the conflict with his controversial track 'Famous,' which included the line, "I made that b***h famous," a reference to his 2009 VMA interruption.
The song's music video featured a disturbing sequence with wax figures of naked celebrities, including Swift, lying in bed together. Swift publicly denounced the lyric, claiming she was unaware of its full context, which led to backlash after Kim Kardashian leaked a video suggesting that Swift had been informed.
The feud reignited in 2020 when an extended version of the phone call between Kanye and Swift was leaked, showing that Kanye had not informed Swift about the derogatory lyric.
Swift's fans rallied behind her, leading Kim to accuse Swift of reigniting the feud for attention.
Internet speculates on Taylor Swift’s new superstar diss target
The internet is abuzz with speculation about the target of Taylor Swift's latest diss track, with mixed reactions from users.
Some fans are questioning the relevance of Kim Kardashian as a "superstar," while others criticize Swift for apparently clinging to past grievances.
One user pointed out the disparity between Swift and Kardashian, asking, "Who called Kardashian a STAR! What is she known for exactly?" [sic]
However, not all reactions are supportive of Swift. Some criticism has surfaced, with one user commenting, "So sick of 35-year-old Taylor acting like a mean girl in high school. Gawd…"
Others voiced fatigue over the ongoing feuding, with one remarking, "Billionaire takes swipe at billionaire. Who actually cares?" [sic]
Another user speculated that Swift might struggle without the drama, saying, "Unfortunately, it seems like Taylor wouldn't be able to function if she didn't have any exes or rivals to throw shade at."
"This is a 35 year-old woman with the mentality of a petty high-schooler. Ridiculous. At this point, she's (literally) the only one who cares about something that happened a decade ago." another user wrote. [sic]
