Breaking News: Taylor Swift Releases Kim Kardashian Diss Track “thanK you aIMee”
The post Taylor Swift Releases Kim Kardashian Diss Track “thanK you aIMee” appeared first on Consequence.
The surprise second half of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department appears to include a diss track aimed at Kim Kardashian.
The song’s title itself is a dead giveaway: “thanK you aIMee,” with the letters KIM notably capitalized. There is also a not so subtle reference to a “bronze spray-tanned statue” in the opening verse.
On Apple Music, lyrics about the song’s antagonist, Aimee, are also stylized in such a way to spell out the name Kim. “Screamed ‘fucK you, aIMee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin,” Swift sings in the chorus.
Later in the song, Swift all but confirms that “thanK you aIMee” it about Kardashian, singing, “And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues,” before closing with the particularly bitting line: “And one day, your kid comes home singin’/ A song that only us two is gonna know is about you.” (Kardashian’s daughter, North West, has previously posted videos on TikTok in which she dances along to Swift’s music.)
Swift’s feud with Kardashian dates back to 2015, when Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West, referenced Swift on his track “Famous.” “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that bitch famous,” West rapped on the track. Swift responded to song by publicly lashing out against West during an acceptance speech at the 2016 Grammys, saying, “I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.”
