Kim Kardashian is reportedly over the feud with Taylor Swift and thinks it’s time for the singer to move on. The feud between the two started in 2016 when Kanye West sang about Swift in his song “Famous.” Swift voiced her displeasure, prompting Kardashian to release an edited phone call between Swift and West. The public backlash was intense, causing Swift to take a step back from the public eye for a year before reemerging with her “Reputation” album.
Swift surprised fans by releasing two albums, with a song seemingly about her bad blood with Kardashian. In the song “thanK you aIMee,” Swift sings about dealing with a bully. Fans noticed that the three capitalized letters in the song’s title spell out Kardashian’s first name. The full recording of the phone call between Swift and West was leaked online in 2020, showing that the rapper never disclosed he would refer to Swift as a “bitch” in the song.
The feud between Kardashian and Swift has been ongoing for years, with Kardashian seemingly wanting to leave the drama in the past. However, she recently shared a photo with Swift’s former BFF, Karlie Kloss, on Instagram, which some found odd since Kardashian and Kloss were not close friends. Swift had a falling out with Kloss in 2017, though it was never confirmed why the former friends drifted apart. Despite the ongoing drama, Kardashian reportedly wants to move on and put their beef to rest.
The incident with West and Kardashian had a significant impact on Swift, who described it as a manufactured frame job that took her down psychologically. She pushed away most people in her life and went through a difficult time, comparing it to a “career death.” In an interview, Swift referred to West and Kardashian as “trash.” The public backlash, phone call release, and leaked recording took a toll on Swift, leading her to distance herself from the public eye for a while before continuing her music career with her “Reputation” album.
Fans of Swift have noted the ongoing feud between Kardashian and Swift, with the former seemingly wanting to move on while the latter continues to address the situation through her music. Swift’s song “thanK you aIMee” appears to be a response to the feud, with references to dealing with a bully and feeling stronger despite the challenges faced. Despite the years that have passed since the initial incident, both Kardashian and Swift continue to be at odds, with Kardashian trying to put the drama behind her while Swift addresses it in her music and interviews.
