Taylor Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” has reignited curiosity about her past feud with Kim Kardashian.
The 34-year-old singer pleasantly surprised her fans on April 19 with a double album, just two hours after releasing her 11th studio album, “TTPD: The Anthology.”
One song on the album, titled “thanK you aIMee,” has grabbed attention. In the song, Swift sings about being bullied, prompting speculation that she’s addressing Kardashian.
A source close to the 43-year-old reality TV star mentioned she isn’t fazed by the song and feels Swift should let go.
According to the source, Kardashian doesn’t understand why Swift keeps bringing up the past, especially since it’s been years since their feud started.
The song’s chorus includes lines like, “All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel.” Swift later changes the chorus to, “All that time you were throwin’ punches, it was all for nothin’ / And our town, it looks so small from way up here / Screamed ‘Thank you, Aimee’ to the night sky and the stars are stunnin’ / ‘Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”
The song also mentions Swift removing “any real defining clues” about the subject’s identity and her saying, “I changed your name,” which fans think refers to her feud with Kardashian.
The feud between Swift and Kardashian began in 2016 when Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West, mentioned Swift in his song “Famous.”
Swift stated she didn’t know about the song’s lyrics and didn’t approve of them. Kardashian then released edited videos of a phone call between West and Swift in an attempt to prove her side of the story.
In 2019, Kardashian stated they had all moved on from the fight, but Swift seemed to imply otherwise in a rare interview.
She expressed a desire for those who had bullied her to apologize, appearing to refer to the phone call and West’s song.
