the story of two enemies that has now been immortalized in a song

Taylor Swift has just released The Tortured Poets Department, the album with which he once again wrote to heartbreak and dared to show himself more vulnerable than ever. But amid the furor of the premiere, she surprised fans with a double album. When it was already three in the morning in Argentina, she added 15 new songs to the 16 of the original release.

Among the songs that were added to the album during the early hours, is thanK you aIMeethe song that swifties think is aimed at kim kardashianwith whom the singer has had a conflict since 2016.

And it seems that, more than a conspiracy theory, this time the dedication is a reality. The title of the song has only three capital letters whose use does not respond to any grammatical rule, but together they form “Kim”, the first name of the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

The song is about a person who attacked Swift while she was trying to build her career, always guided by envy and without a valid reason. For Taylor fans, the story of the song is not fictionalbut refers to all the times Kardashian intentionally sabotaged the singer.

“All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something,” the performer sings in the chorus of the song that sparked controversy. “I can’t forgive the way you made me feel,” she says in the next line, and from that, fans understood that their idol is far from excusing the model for what she did to her, even though she already tried. re-approach Swift several times.

To make it clear what the intention of the song was, Taylor made reference to North West, Kim’s eldest daughter, who publicly declared herself swifie through her social networks and published a video dancing to the hit Shake if off along with his mother. “And one day, your daughter will come home singing a song that only the two of us will know is about you,” says the verse that confirmed the fan theory.

The war between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian was started by Kanye West, the ex-husband of the influencer. In 2009, when the pop star was 20 years old, she took the stage to receive the award for Best Female Video of the Year from Shakira and Taylor Lautner. But when she was left alone to thank the audience, something unexpected happened.

Kanye jumped on stage, ripped the microphone out of Taylor’s hands and abruptly interrupted her speech. “I’m very happy for you, I’ll let you finish but… Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!” West shouted to the audience, then handed the microphone back to Swift amidst a wave of boos.

After what happened, Beyonce apologized to Taylor and clarified that she had nothing to do with the show the rapper did during the gala. And, in the United States, it was a topic of discussion for weeks on television shows, so Kanye had to apologize publicly. But this would be just the beginning of a long battle.

Although there were several public approaches between Kim, Taylor and Kanye, in 2016 the former couple once again betrayed the singer’s trust. West released the song famousin which he makes an unpleasant allusion to Swift, insinuating that he is the one who generated her worldwide fame.

“I think Taylor and I could still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous“, raps Kanye in the song. Faced with this, Swift made a very angry statement about the lyrics, but Kanye assured that he had asked her permission to publish the song.

To continue the charade, Kim Kardashian posted an edited call in which it appears that the singer is giving her consent, and he began to publicly call him a snake for denying that it had been like that. Thus Taylor earned millions from haters for “playing the victim” and had to disappear from the public eye for a year.

Over time, it was proven that the call was fake and that he had been lied to about the content of the song. But, until that happened, Taylor had to go through one of the worst phases of her life.

“It took me psychologically to a place I had never been. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid of phone calls. I cut most people out of my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore.. “I sank a lot,” the singer recalled in an interview with the magazine time in 2023.

Now that Taylor Swift is in one of the best moments of her career (and Kim in one of the worst), she took the opportunity to finally tell her truth, without being afraid of hateful comments. And, it seems, public opinion about both has already changed since then. Since it came out The Tortured Poets Department, Kim Kardashian lost more than 100 thousand followers on Instagram.

In the end, as Taylor sings in thanK you aIMee, time proved her right and without the injuries that the conflict caused the singer she would not be who she is today. So he has nothing left but to thank Kim for teaching him so much through what he experienced.
