Taylor Swift has slightly tweaked the title of her song “thanK you aIMee,” which is believed to be a scathing diss aimed at longtime rival Kim Kardashian, especially as it had the letters K, I, and M all capitalized.
However, in the new live version of the track, the pop star cleverly tweaked the song’s name to reflect the new name of rapper Kanye West, with whom she has had a long-running feud that dates back to the 2009 VMAs.
Kanye West also recently subtly dissed Taylor Swift when he referenced her and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in a new “Vultures 2” track. According to the Daily Mail, the “Bad Blood” singer altered the title of her alleged Kim Kardashian diss track, “thanK you aIMee,” for a new live version of the song.
Shortly after she released the song in April, fans immediately noticed how she had capitalized the letters K, I, and M and assumed that she was taking shots at the SKIMS founder.
A source told the news outlet in April that “Taylor has humiliated Kim, and she knows that there is nothing she can do about it,” adding that “Kim got what she feared was coming to her eventually, and is now backed in a corner because she knows Taylor’s army will destroy her if she says anything.”
However, Swift treated her fans to a new live recording of the song this week, albeit with a slight change to its name. The revamped title now appears to take aim at a different A-lister, as it’s now stylized as “thank You aimEe,” with the letters Y & E capitalized to spell YE, the new name of Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West.
In the song, Swift sings about a school bully who “wrote headlines in the local paper” sneering at her and even threw “punches” that left her blood “gushing.” “Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman, but she used to say she wished that you were dead,” she sang in one verse.
