The 34-year-old singer released a double album within two hours after the initial album dropped. The double album includes the track “thanK you aIMee," which grabbed the attention of fans, who began to speculate that it could be referring to Kardashian.
The song’s capitalization of the three letters in the title (KIM), as well as Swift’s lyrics about bullying, led fans to think that it is directed at The Kardashians star.

Kim Kardashian on June 20, 2023 in Paris, FranceOn Tuesday, April 23, a source told PEOPLE, “[Kim’s] over it and thinks Taylor should move on,” adding Kardashian “doesn’t get why [Swift] keeps harping on it.” The source continued: “It’s been literally years.”
The model and singer’s feud began in 2016 when Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West sang about Swift in his song, “Famous,” rapping: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.” He later claimed that the Speak Now singer had approved of the song, which she later denied.
The mom of four then released edited footage of the phone call between the two singers to prove her side of the story, but West noticeably did not mention the lyric during the call. The call was later leaked in full.
Three years after the call, Kardashian said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live that they’d “all moved on” from the feud. However, in a rare interview, Swift denied that claim.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum’s post with Kloss also follows speculation about an alleged rift between Swift and Kloss.
The rumors began in 2017 after the singer did not include Kloss’ name in her “Junior Jewels” T-shirt that was worn in one of the scenes of her “Look What You Made Me Do” music video.
