Taylor Swift has smashed records with her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, from single-week vinyl sales to single-day Spotify album streams. The launch of TTPD also reignited her long-running feud with Kim Kardashian. While the pair have been well-known frenemies over the years, it appeared tensions had calmed. That is until Swift dropped her latest album featuring the song "thanK you aIMee," which with its capitalized letters spells out Kim. In the song Swift sings about a high school bully which everyone suspects is a diss at Kim. And now Kardashian has clapped back by posting a photo of her posing next to model Karlie Kloss, who was once a bestie of Swift's.
So now we have the Kim Kardashian/Taylor Swift/Karlie Kloss feud. First, a little background. The bad blood between Kardashian and Swift began in 2009 at the MTV Video Music Awards when Kardashian's then-husband Ye (Kayne West) interrupted Swift on stage as she was about to accept her award for Music Video of the Year, grabbing the microphone to rant that it was Beyoncé who should have won instead. Things went from bad to worse when in 2017 the rapper released a song featuring derogatory lyrics about Swift, including the line "I made that b*tch famous." West said Swift approved the song ahead of its release and this is where Kardashian joins the fray. KK released an edited version of the phone call where West shares only part of the song with Swift who gives West the green light. Talk about pouring gasoline on a raging fire.
