Kim Kardashian made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote the 12th season of American Horror Story. During the interview, Kimmel did not address Taylor Swift’s new song “thanK you aIMee,” which fans speculate is about Kardashian. Kardashian also did not offer any comments on the subject, simply saying that life is good. The song, the 24th track on Swift’s double-album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, sparked interest with its unique capitalization spelling out “Kim.”
The feud between Swift and Kardashian goes back to incidents involving Kanye West, Kardashian’s ex-husband. From the 2009 MTV VMA incident to West mentioning Swift without permission in his 2016 song “Famous,” Kardashian became involved when she released a doctored phone conversation between Swift and West. However, when the full version of the conversation was released in 2020, it backfired on Kardashian, exonerating Swift from claims of lying. Fans speculate that Swift’s new song references these incidents.
Swift’s song includes lyrics about changing the name of the song’s protagonist, Aimee, to protect Kardashian’s identity. She also references Kardashian’s daughter North dancing to Swift’s “Shake It Off” in a TikTok video. Swift thanks Aimee (Kardashian) in the song, acknowledging that Aimee’s attempts to tear her down only helped her rise even higher. The Tortured Poets Department album, featuring this song, was released on April 19.
Despite the speculation and interest from fans regarding the song’s references to Kardashian, neither Kardashian nor Kimmel addressed the topic during the interview. The feud between Kardashian and Swift has been ongoing since the incidents involving West, and the release of Swift’s new song has reignited interest in their conflict. The lyrics of the song suggest that Swift sees Kardashian’s actions as attempts to diminish her, but ultimately it only served to make Swift stronger.
The public’s fascination with celebrity feuds and scandals, such as the one between Kardashian and Swift, continues to drive interest and speculation. The release of new music and the lyrics that seemingly reference real-life events only add fuel to the fire. As Swift’s song gains attention and fans dissect the meaning behind the lyrics, it’s likely that the feud between Kardashian, Swift, and West will remain a topic of interest for both the media and the public. Despite Kardashian staying silent on the matter during her recent appearance, the speculation and discussion surrounding the feud continue to grow.
