taylor Swift fans have speculated that one of the tracks from her newly-released album, The Tortured Poets Department, is a swipe aimed at Kim Kardashian.Swift’s 11th studio album was released on Friday, two months after she announced it while accepting the Grammy Award for Best Album in February.And with the “Bad Blood” hitmaker being known for writing about elements of her relationships in her music, fans quickly noted that “​​thanK you aIMee,” one of the tracks on her new album, could be about the reality star and businesswoman Kardashian.

A post shared by Pop Crave on X, formerly Twitter, pointed out that the capitalized letters in the song’s title spell out the name Kim. A host of X users subsequently tagged Kardashian’s account on the platform as they discussed the track.The lyrics speak of an “Aimee” who bullied Swift while they were at school together. “All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’,” she sings. “And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed ‘F*** you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’ / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”

I don’t think you’ve changed much,” she adds. “And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues / And one day, your kid comes home singin’ / A song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”Newsweek has contacted representatives of Kardashian and Swift via email for commentWhile Swift, 34, and Kardashian, 43, did not go to school together, they have had public disagreements in the past. This largely stemmed from Kardashian’s then-husband, Kanye “Ye” West’s 2016 track “Famous,” in which he made a vulgar reference to the pop star, which she denied approving.

West, who has since legally changed his name to Ye, rapped on the track: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made
that b**** famous.”The moment went down in music history and led to both Swift and West talking about it in interviews and writing songs about it. They eventually reconciled and in 2015, Swift presented West with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs. However, the release of “Famous” the following year reignited the bad blood between them.At the time, a spokesperson for Swift told People: “Kanye did not [Swift] call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account… She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that b**** famous.'”

in the video Kardashian released of West and Swift’s phone call, West appears to run the line “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex” past Swift, who responds: “It sounds like a compliment.”Years later, in March 2020, a so-called unedited clip of Swift and West’s 2016 phone call leaked on social media. Swift fans took it as vindication that Swift was telling the truth that she never approved the lyric and was not informed about the “made that b**** famous” line.

In a series of X posts in 2020, Kardashian wrote that Swift choosing to “reignite an old exchange” felt “very self-serving,” and accused the musician of “actually lying.”To be clear, the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…,'” she stated. “They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word ‘b****’ was used without her permission.”At the time when they spoke the song had not been fully written yet, but as everyone can see in the video, she manipulated the truth of their actual conversation in her statement when her team said she ‘declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.'”The lie was never about the word b****, It was always whether there was a call or not and the tone of the conversation.”
