Taylor Swift ‘makes dig’ at Kim Kardashian during second night of London shows
Fans think the popstar took a jab at the reality star before launching into ‘thanK you aIMee’
Taylor Swift fans are convinced that the musician made a subtle dig at Kim Kardashian while performing onstage during her second night at Wembley Stadium.
As the pop superstar played the introduction to her song “thanK you aIMee”, which is largely believed to be a reference to her years-long feud with reality star Kardashian, Swift told the London crowd: “Every time someone talks s***, it makes me work even harder.”
“It makes me that much tougher. It also makes me incredibly thankful for those people,” she said, before playing “thanK you aIMee” live for the first time since it was released as part of her new album The Tortured Poets Department.
After hearing Swift’s “thanK you aIMee” introduction, one fan concluded: “Taylor just basically confirmed that thanK you aIMee is a million % about Kim.”
When Swift released the track in April, her fans were quick to notice that the singer seemingly makes several references to Kardashian on it – including the capitalisation of some letters in the song’s title, which spell out: K, I, and M.
Fans also noticed other clues, including a potential reference to Kardashian’s 11-year-old daughter North West previously dancing to her 2014 single “Shake It Off” on TikTok. “Shake It Off” is about ignoring “haters”.
