The release of Taylor Swift’s latest album has got tongues wagging about who the songwriter is taking aim at in her lyrics.
Could one of her latest targets really be Kim Kardashian?
Taylor surprised her legions of fans by releasing not one but two albums in the early hours of this morning.
Taylor Swift’s Diss Track Aimed at Kim Kardashian
Among the many surprises on The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology was the possibility of a diss track aimed at Kim.

The track in question is called thanK you aIMee, and cryptic clues in the title have led people to believe that the influencer and socialite is the subject of the song.
This has a lot to do with the fact that the only letters in the title to appear capitalized spell out Kim’s name.
The song itself portrays the title figure of Aimee as a kind of school bully.
Lyrics in the chorus recount attacks that “Aimee” has orchestrated against Taylor.
Taylor also sings about the so-called Aimee “throwing punches” while she was “building something”, before adding that she “couldn’t forgive the way you made me feel.”
If the song really is about Kim, as the clues seem to suggest, it could all lead back to the worm’s feud from 2016.
How Kim Kardashian Betrayed Taylor Swift
At that time, Kim, who was still married to Kanye West, was seen to have betrayed Taylor’s trust by leaking an edited conversation between Taylor and Kanye about the rapper’s song Famous.

Kanye had claimed to have gotten Taylor’s approval for the song.
However, Taylor’s reps later denied that she had approved of some of the language Kanye used when rapping about her.
Kim Recorded Taylor’s Phone Call Without Her Consent
With neither backing down, Kim got herself involved by releasing the footage of an alleged phone call between the artists on Snapchat.
The call showed them discussing the song, although Taylor had no idea it was being recorded, according to People magazine.
The footage Kim shared was also edited, only for the full conversation to appear online later, confirming Taylor’s version of events.
In the bridge of thanK you aIMee, Taylor also suggests that Aimee might have “reframed” something, a possible allusion to Kim’s sabotaged video.
She also hinted to have changed the real name of the song’s subject to Aimee.
All of the clues left many fans convinced they knew what Taylor was really getting at.
One tweeted to write, “Not #thanKyouaIMee being an entire song by Taylor Swift thanking Kim Kardashian because there ‘wouldn’t be this if there hadn’t been you.’”
Taylor Said Kim Had Taken Her Down ‘Psychologically to a Place I’d Never Been Before’
Taylor was named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year last December.
In her interview for TIME, she mentioned how her feud with Kim had taken her down “psychologically to a place I’d never been before.”
She also felt like her career was taken away from her after Kim made her out to be a liar.
With her newest album, Taylor has finally had her chance to hit back, and Swifties all over the world are here for it.
