Kim Kardashian is keeping mum about Taylor Swift’s not-so-subtle tune “thanK you aIMee, which aspects their lengthy-standing feud.
For the duration of the. Monday, April 22, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Reside!, Kardashian, 43, appeared as a visitor to endorse period 12 of her Fx sequence American Horror Story. Although Kimmel, 56, did point out Swift’s new album — and the pop star’s feud with Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West — throughout his opening monologue, he skipped above the incredibly hot subject when chatting with Kardashian herself.
Kardashian, for her element, also did not provide any of her own opinions on the topic. She did, on the other hand, give a short everyday living update throughout the overall look, telling the late-evening host, “Life is fantastic.”
As the 24th monitor on Swift’s double-album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, launched on Friday, April 19, “thanK you aIMee” sparked fans’ interest with its exceptional capitalization. With its funds letters spelling out “Kim,” lovers rapidly recognized the music is likely about Kardashian.
“All that time you were throwin’ punches, / I was buildin’ somethin’,” Swift sings in the song’s chorus. “And I just can’t forgive the way you made me come to feel / Screamed ‘F—k you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’ / But I simply cannot fail to remember the way you produced me heal.”
Swift and Kardashian’s feud is intertwined with West. From the 2009 MTV VMA incident to West, 46, name-dropping Swift devoid of permission in his 2016 music “Famous,” Kardashian grew to become part of the drama when she produced a doctored telephone dialogue between Swift and West to try and defend her then-partner.
When the complete edition of the leaked cellphone discussion was introduced in 2020, Kardashian’s initiatives entirely backfired, exonerating Swift from promises that she was lying. Lovers are speculating that these are the “punches” Swift sings about, meanwhile the pop star was “buildin’” her comeback.
“And so I adjusted your name, and any serious defining clues / And one day, your kid comes home singin’ / A music that only us two is gonna know is about you,” Swift sings in the song’s bridge, very likely referencing Kardashian’s daughter North’s 2023 TikTok where she can be found dancing to Swift’s “Shake It Off.” Swift also admits to transforming the title of the song’s protagonist, Aimee, to safeguard Kardashian’s identity.
Swift finishes the music by thanking Aimee (Kardashian), for her endeavours to tear Swift down only aided her rise even better.
The Tortured Poets Department is out now.
