Kim Kardashian has lost over 100,000 Instagram followers since Taylor Swift released a diss track against her on her album “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.” Prior to the song’s release, Kardashian had 364.3 million followers on the platform, but that number dropped to 363 million in the days following the release of the song. Swifties flooded Kardashian’s comments with references to the track and the lyrics that seemed to be targeting the reality star. The track describes a “bronze, spray-tanned” high school bully, with fans speculating that it was a reference to Kardashian.
The lyrics of the song include lines like “All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel” and “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.” Despite the negative attention she has received from the song, Kardashian has not publicly responded to it or addressed the backlash she has faced from fans. The feud between Kardashian and Swift dates back to 2016 when Kanye West called Swift a derogatory term in his song “Famous.” Kardashian defended her husband by releasing a phone call between Swift and West, which Swift claimed was recorded illegally and edited.
After the feud between Kardashian, West, and Swift, Kardashian fans began attacking Swift on social media by sending her snake emojis and calling her a liar. This led Swift to embrace the snake imagery and incorporate it into her music during the “Reputation” era, which was seen as her way of reclaiming her narrative and addressing the public perception of her. Despite Kardashian claiming in an interview that she was “over” the feud, Swift brought up the drama again in her Time Person of the Year interview in December 2023. She opened up about the psychological toll the feud took on her and how it affected her trust in people, leading her to “push away most people” in her life.
While Kardashian has remained largely silent about the feud in recent years, Swift has continued to indirectly address it through her music and interviews. Fans of Swift, known as Swifties, are closely analyzing her lyrics for references to the feud and its aftermath, including potential mentions of her exes Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy, and John Mayer. The ongoing tension between Kardashian and Swift has created a divide among fans of both celebrities, with each side having strong opinions about the feud and the individuals involved. Despite the loss of followers on Instagram, Kardashian has yet to publicly respond to the diss track or address the ongoing speculation surrounding her relationship with Swift.
