Taylor Swift Disses Kim Kardashian In New Song “thanK you aIMee”

Taylor Swift Drops Kim Kardashian Diss Track “thanK you aIMee”

Taylor Swift released her highly anticipated album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ last night and the bonus track, titled ‘thanK you aIMee” has been making the most traction, because fans ultimately decoded it’s a Kim Kardashian diss track.

In the controversial song “thanK you aIMee,” which spells Kim with its strategic capitalization of the letters K,I, and M, Swift took shots at Kim amid their longstanding feud, singing about a high school bully who fans are convinced is Kardashian.

Swift started by referencing the reality star’s signature fake tan, singing, “When I picture my hometown / 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.”

In the second verse, she sings: “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 “grave” she mentions might just be the one Swift crawls out of in her music video for “Look What You Made Me Do” from her 2017 Reputation album.

Taylor Swift also meta-reference the pseudonym she uses for Kim in the song. “And maybe you’ve reframed it / And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue / I don’t think you’ve changed much / 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,” Swift sings in the bridge of the tune.

The pop superstar and the reality star’s feud goes way back and reached its peak in 2016 when the SKIMs founder’s ex-husband Kanye West released the song “Famous,” in which he raps, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.”

Kardashian claimed that Swift knew of West’s lyrics in advance and shared an edited phone call between them discussing the song before its release. But it wasn’t until March 2020 that the full call was leaked online, revealing that Swift was kept in the dark about certain details of the song, particularly the line, “that bitch.”

Taylor Swift spoke about the feud during her TIME 2023 Person of the Year interview, telling the outlet, “Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me. You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.”
