Celebrities are often fair game for Taylor Swift's songs, as Kim Kardashian experienced firsthand with 2024's The Tortured Poets Department.

According to a source exclusively speaking to We, Kardashian isn't thrilled about it but prefers not to escalate the situation. Swift's song "thanK you aIMee" is believed to reference their previous feud with Kanye West.

The insider reveals that the Kardashians star, who is 43 years old, is feeling upset because Taylor still holds negative feelings towards her. The source adds that she believed their issues were resolved in the past.

Although Kardashian was unaware that she would be involved in this situation, the insider mentions that she did anticipate this possibility given Taylor's songwriting style.

Kardashian has not talked about Swift's new song publicly yet. However, she did her first interview after the song was released on Monday, April 22, where she mentioned, "Life is good."

The day after her interview, the Skims founder shared a throwback selfie from 2022 on her Instagram Stories. In the photo, she was with her sister Khloé Kardashian and Swift's former best friend Karlie Kloss. (Kloss, 31, and Swift used to be very close friends before reportedly having a falling out.)

If you missed it, there is a lot of information in Us magazine about Taylor Swift's song "thanK you aIMee." At first, it may seem like it's about someone named Aimee, but fans noticed that the capital letters actually spell out "Kim."

Not only does the title hint at Kim Kardashian, but Taylor Swift, who is 34 years old, also references their drama in the song lyrics.

"When I think about where I grew up, I imagine a bronze spray-tanned statue of you," she sings, possibly referring to Los Angeles. "And there's a plaque beneath it that reminds me of the times you threatened me at school."

Swift goes on to criticize Kardashian (or Aimee) for being a bully and physically attacking her while she was trying to achieve something.

The singer believes that the conflict between the women was never fair. She says her rival would constantly belittle her progress and mock her efforts.

In the end, Swift expresses gratitude towards her adversary, acknowledging the role they played in helping her heal.

Kardashian and Swift's feud started in 2009 when Kanye West interrupted Taylor's MTV VMAs acceptance speech, saying Beyoncé should have won instead. This incident shocked everyone in the audience.

What is the standout track on Taylor Swift's album 'The Tortured Poets Department?'

The rapper claimed in his song "Famous" in 2016 that the awards show incident helped boost Swift's fame. Swift, on the other hand, criticized West for the lyrics, "Me and Taylor still might have sex / I made that b—h famous," stating that she did not approve of it.

Kardashian supported her then-husband by sharing a phone conversation between West and Swift, which was reportedly recorded without Swift's permission. When Kardashian revealed the video on Snapchat, she included snake emojis, which Swift later incorporated into her Reputation album.

In 2020, the feud between Swift and West heated up again after a leaked phone conversation confirmed Swift had been truthful all along.

The next year, Kardashian surprised many by praising Swift's music during an interview on the "Honestly With Bari Weis" podcast in 2021. She mentioned, "I actually enjoy many of her songs. They're all really nice and easy to remember. I would need to check my phone for specific titles."

Despite the drama in "thanK you aIMee," the Skims founder is ready to make amends with Swift. Fans speculate that Swift referenced Kardashian's past snake remarks in her new song "Cassandra," with lyrics like "So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say / Do you believe me now?"

According to a source, Kardashian sees that time in her life differently now, especially with her 2021 divorce from West. She feels like she's in a much better place.

When it comes to Swift, Kardashian would “love to mend things between them,” the insider says, “Kim truly wishes Taylor the best and hopes they can move on.”
