Celebrity feuds and drama on social media are nothing new, but when two pop culture icons clash, the internet goes into a frenzy. In this case, the latest feud between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift has caused quite a stir in the online world.

But, after the song dropped, Kim Kardashian lost 100k followers on Instagram.
Kim Kardashian Loses 100k Followers After Taylor’s “thanK you AImee”
Kim Kardashian’s social media presence is suffering after Taylor Swift released a new diss track aimed at her. The song titled “thanK you aIMee” is seen as a revenge anthem, with Taylor indirectly targeting Kim. In the lyrics, Taylor refers to a past bully, described as a “bronze spray-tanned statue,” which many interpret as a reference to Kim Kardashian.
Just days after Taylor Swift’s diss track was released, Kim Kardashian lost over 100,000 followers on social media, with many Swift fans flooding her pages with negative comments. One fan expressed satisfaction, saying, “Finally someone stood up to Aimee.”
This Might Be For the Best
Some fans believe Kim Kardashian should have apologized in 2016 for trying to discredit Taylor Swift by leaking a private conversation. However, not everyone sees Taylor’s new diss track negatively. Some of Kim’s fans think it has boosted her fame, while others suggest Kris Jenner should address the drama on the family’s Hulu show.
Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift’s Feud Explained
The feud between Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian spans a decade, beginning with Kanye interrupting Taylor’s acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs in September 2009. Since then, the conflict has unfolded both publicly and privately. Here’s a comprehensive timeline of the shade-filled saga, with the latest developments included.
In January 2023, Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West posted a TikTok video dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” on their joint account, @kimandnorth. While some fans saw this as a reconciliation, Swifties speculate that Taylor drew inspiration from Kim for her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The song “thanK you aIMee,” released on April 19, 2024, contains capitalized letters spelling KIM and hints at an ongoing feud with another woman. A particular lyric suggests a connection to Kim: “And one day, your kid comes home singin’ A song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”
How Did the Feud Even Begin?
During the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City, 19-year-old Taylor Swift was accepting the Best Female Video award for her song “You Belong with Me.” In the midst of her speech, Kanye West abruptly interrupted, declaring that Beyoncé deserved the award instead. This infamous incident left Taylor stunned, resembling a sad kitten, while Beyoncé appeared shocked in the audience. Despite Kanye eventually returning the mic to Taylor, her moment was forever altered.
Although he initially apologized, on June 11, 2013, Kanye West virtually rescinded his apology for the 2009 VMAs incident, revealing to The New York Times that he initially apologized due to external pressure. He asserts that he has no regrets regarding the incident. Ever since then, the two have been going against each other at any possible given time. This only intensified once Kim Kardashian entered the mix after marrying the rapper.
