Kim Kardashian Just Roped in Karlie Kloss in Her Feud With Taylor Swift  (2024)

It was the song that fans took as being coded with details of their feud, and now Kim Kardashian has responded to Taylor Swift’s ‘thanK you aIMee’ from The Tortured Poets Department. The song appears on Swift’s 11th album, which was released on April 19, 2024.

A source told People that Kim Kardashian doesn’t know why Taylor decided to write the song about her. “She’s over it and thinks Taylor should move on,” the source said. They also added that the Skims founder “doesn’t get why [Swift] keeps harping on it. It’s been literally years.”

Another source told Life & Style, “Kim probably does have regrets about lying about the editing of the now famous video, but it’s fair to say that she was caught up in the whole Kanye [West] aspect of it. She was basically protecting her man. I’m sure Kim could clear up what really happened, and why she did what she did, but I don’t think she wants to revisit that particular situation. It would just open up a whole new can of worms and she’s truly moved on.”

Another source concurred with the feelings. “Kim isn’t happy about it but doesn’t want to add fuel to the fire,” a source told Us Weekly. The Kardashians star is “upset that Taylor is still harboring negative feelings toward her. She thought that their issues were in the past.”

While Kardashian “had no idea she was going to be a part of this narrative,” the insider says she “did think this could happen at some point knowing how Taylor writes her music.”

In her first interview after the release of The Tortured Poets Department, Kim Kardashian told Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “Life is good.” Jimmy Kimmel didn’t ask Kim about the album despite him mentioning Taylro in his opening monologue. However, they did share this one interesting fact: “You sleep with your eyes slightly open?” Kimmel asked.“I do!” Kim affirmed. “There’s footage because my sisters have taken videos and pictures.”

Kim also posted a photo with Taylor’s former BFF Karlie Kloss on April 23, 2024. The Skims founder wishedher friendDerek Blasberga happy birthday on social media and included a photo with her, Karlie Kloss and Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian.

In a post that Kim shared on April 18, 2024, she wished her sister Kourtney a happy birthday. “Happy Birthday Queen@kourtneykardashThere’s no one on this planet that I have spent more time with and have all of the same memories with growing up than you and I cherish them all. Sharing a room and friends and cars and our lives together for four decades has been the most magical journey to have you by my side. I love you and I can’t wait for another 45 years together! I will especially cherish this last sister trip where all of our kids had dance parties til they passed out, the way we all did growing up! Celebrating you today and grateful to you forever for always giving the best advice a sister could possibly give!” she wrote.

In the comments section, the post was flooded with thousands of variations of “thank you aimee”, referencing the song off Swift’s album, which owing to the choice in capital letters spells out K-I-M. It seems comments were temporarily disabled, but have been reactivated.

The feud between the “All Too Well” singer andThe Kardashiansstar wasreportedly instigatedafter Kim released a snippet of a conversation on Snapchat in 2016 between Taylor and her then-husbandKanye Westwhere he shared a line of his song “Famous” to the referred to “Bad Blood” musician.“

To all my Southside N—s that know me best, I feel likeTaylor Swiftmight owe me sex,” to which Taylor replied, “That’s not mean!” However, Taylor was unaware of the line “I made that b**ch famous” according to her reps. Taylor and Kanye have been in afeud since 2009when he bombarded her on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards to tell her thatBeyoncé deserved her VMAmore.

Kimspoke about the feudon social media in 2020. “@taylorswift13 has chosen to reignite an old exchange – that at this point in time feels very self-serving given the suffering millions of real victims are facing right now,” Kim tweeted. “I didn’t feel the need to comment a few days ago, and I’m actually really embarrassed and mortified to be doing it right now, but because she continues to speak on it, I feel I’m left without a choice but to respond because she is actually lying.” Kim later filed for divorce against Kanye in 2021.

Taylor Swift’s “thanK you aIMee” lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I picture my hometown
There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you
And a plaque underneath it
That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school

[Pre-Chorus]
And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that one day, I could say

[Chorus]
All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel
Screamed “f*ck you, Aimee” to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’
But I can’t forget the way you made me heal

[Verse 2]
And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill
Each time that Aimeestomped across my gravе
And then she wrote hеadlines
In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take

[Pre-Chorus]
And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that one day, I could say

[Chorus]
All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real
Screamed “f*ck you, Aimee” to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’
But I can’t forget the way you made me heal

[Post-Chorus]
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say she wished that you were dead
I pushed each boulder up the hill
Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

[Verse 3]
I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
I built a legacy which you can’t undo
But when I count the scars, there’s a moment of truth
That there wouldn’t be this, if there hadn’t been you

[Bridge]
And maybe you’ve reframed it
And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue
I don’t think you’ve changed much
And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues
And one day, your kid comes home singin’
A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, ’cause—

[Chorus]
All that time you were throwin’ punches, it was all for nothin’
Andour town, it looks so small, from way up here
Screamed “Thank you, Aimee” to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin’
‘Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal

[Post-Chorus]
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say she wished that you were dead
So I pushed each boulder up that hill
Your words were still just ringin’ in my head, ringin’ in my head

[Outro]
Thank you, Aimee
Thank you, Aimee
