In the days following the release of Taylor Swift’s allegedly diss tune “thanK you aIMee,” which targets Kim Kardashian, the reality star has seen a precipitous decline in her social media following, with a loss of 120,000 followers and counting.
Swift released the song on Friday, April 19, and since then, Kardashian, 43, has been the target of outrage. The lyrics contain statements such, “Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman / But she used to say that she wished that you were dead.”
The allegedly revealing title of the song—”Kim” spelt out in capital letters—has been attracting Swifties who have been flooding her Instagram and X comments section. Swift is famous for using capitalization to convey hidden meanings in her songs.
But according to social media monitoring tools, the reality TV personality has not only been hit hard by the 34-year-old pop diva’s devoted fan base, but she has also apparently lost a large number of followers, sending her still-not-insignificant number tumbling since the reaction.
Kris Jenner, her Svengali “momager,” has been asked by her followers to intervene in the problem since she has not yet addressed the outcry.
Known for turning the Kardashian family’s misfortunes into fame, fortune, and more, Jenner oversees both Kardashian and her renowned siblings. The most famous example is Kim Kardashian’s meteoric rise to popularity, which began with her now-infamous sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J. People are waiting for the “magic” now.
“You must assist Kim, Kris. You’re being silent for a reason. “Just do your magic on this TayTay drama, girl,” one admirer said in Jenner’s comments section. Kris needs to turn this Taylor conflict into a new Skimms line or something. I can’t wait. “Y’all just wait,” someone other remarked. “Listen, Kris isn’t sobbing. “She’s telling Kim, ‘you’re doing great Sweetie,’ with this Taylor s-t lol,” the third person added.
“You Swifties think that Taylor won?,” a fourth respondent adamantly stated. Having a full song dedicated to Kim only served to further establish her as a legend. *can’t wait for Kris Jenner to turn this into merchandise or incorporate it into the upcoming Kardashian season.
On her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, Swift was anticipated to criticize her exes, but Kardashian took the brunt of the criticism.
Swift opens “thanK you aIMee” by describing her birthplace, which she assumes to be Los Angeles, and how she sees a “bronze spray-tanned statue” of “Aimee” with a “plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs at our school.” The song doesn’t hold back, as the title suggests.
The song introduces “Aimee” as Swift’s troll from her adolescent years. On the track, she screams, “F-k you, Aimee!” while her adversary flings punches at her. “But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.” She then gives her adversary credit for helping her heal, but she still can’t forgive the way she made her feel.
Also, according to Swift, the feud between the two was never “fair” or “clean.” She mentions that Kardashian was “stomping across” her “grave” and making headlines “laughing at each baby step I’d take.”
Kim and Kourtney’s Disagreement in 2023
Kanye West, the reality star’s now-ex-husband, started the animosity between Beyoncé and Swift over a decade ago at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when he claimed that Beyoncé deserved an award that Swift had just won. After Swift blasted West in 2016 for allegedly rapping, “Me and Taylor still might have sex / I made that bitch famous” in one of his songs, Kardashian released a phone call between the two artists to defend West.
On “National Snake Day,” Kardashian shamed Swift by posting a plethora of snakes. After the singer addressed the conflict in an essay she wrote with Elle in 2017, she responded with the album Reputation.
In 2019, she expressed her desire for bully victims to receive an apology, but she realized that the only thing she could take away from the experience was the knowledge that she had overcome the bullying and continued to grow.
