Taylor Swift shared a message to haters who ‘talk s***’ before singing rumored Kim Kardashian diss track, thanK you aIMee, during night two of her Eras Tour stop in London on Saturday.
The Grammy winner, 34 – who went Instagram official with boyfriend Travis Kelce while posing with the Prince of Wales – performed the track which is found on her Tortured Poets Department album.
Upon its release, fans quickly speculated that the song, which is stylized to have capital letters spell out ‘KIM,’ was in reference to Swift’s alleged feud with the SKIMS founder.
Before singing a mashup of thanK you aIMee and Mean from her Speak Now album, Taylor said, per Us Weekly: ‘It really makes me think about how every time someone talks s***, it just makes me work even harder and it makes me even tougher.
‘So, it also makes me incredibly thankful for those people,’ the star further stated to the sold-out crowd.

Shortly before, Taylor had gushed about having the opportunity to perform eight concerts at Wembley Stadium during her Eras Tour.
The star kicked off her London stop on Friday, June 21 followed by two additional nights on Saturday as well as Sunday, June 23. She will return to the venue in August for five more nights.
‘I was thinking about getting to play Wembley Stadium. That’s not remotely normal [and] it is so insane for you to [have] done that for me…and for my crew because we get to play Wembley Stadium eight times this summer.’
The Love Story hitmaker continued, ‘You clearly thought this was a good idea [and] you wanted this to happen. Blows me away. I’ll spend forever trying to thank you for that.’
ThanK you aIMee appeared on Taylor’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, which dropped a few months earlier in April. Another song, Cassandra, was also speculated to be about the reality star.
After its release, a source told Us Weekly at the time that the diss track was Swift’s ‘final word’ on their years-long feud.
‘The song is her final word. Taylor has moved on and is not looking back,’ the insider expressed to the outlet, adding that the songstress ‘has not heard’ from Kim over the track.
A separate source told People after the album’s release that Kim is ‘over’ the feud with Taylor and wants her to ‘move on.’

‘She’s over it and thinks Taylor should move on,’ the insider said, adding that Kim ‘doesn’t get why [Swift] keeps harping on it. It’s been literally years.’
In addition to the unsubtle title, fans believe Thank You Aimee is aimed at Kim thanks to its 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*** you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’/ But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.’
Elsewhere in the lyrics, Taylor sings about removing ‘defining clues’ about the person she’s singing about, and she added, ‘I changed your name,’ which instantly drew more listeners to the irregularly capitalized title.
The ongoing feud between Taylor and Kim appears to trace back to the 2016 release of Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo.
In that album’s song Famous, Kim’s ex-husband raps: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous.’
The line, which alludes to when Kanye interrupted Taylor’s win at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, was supposedly passed on to the songstress for approval, but she denies ever giving it the okay.
Taylor said she had been contact about the song, but she was ‘never made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that b**** famous.”‘

In an effort to prove Kanye’s version, Kim shared an edited clip from the studio of him calling up Taylor and seemingly getting her approval.
However, the clip shows him conveying the idea, more than the specific lyrics, and when the complete call later leaked it made it clear that the use of ‘b****,’ which seemed to be a major issue for Taylor, was left out completely.
Things seemed to settle down in subsequent years, and Kim claimed in 2019 on Watch What Happens Live that the trio had ‘moved on’ from the dispute.
That wasn’t how the Blank Space singer saw it, though, and she later said in an interview with Elle that ‘It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us.’
Although Taylor’s career has never been better or higher profile than in the last few years, she complained in her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile that the dispute ‘took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.’
‘You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,’ she seethed.
It is illegal to record a phone call in California, where at least some of the parties were likely located during the original exchange, without the permission of all parties on the call.
Taylor added that her distress made her move ‘to a foreign country’ in the aftermath.
During the big night, Swift jumped to her Instagram page to share a now-viral selfie that she had taken with Kelce as well as Prince William and his children, George and Charlotte
