Kim Kardashian recently stirred up speculation about her ongoing feud with Taylor Swift by sharing a throwback photo featuring Karlie Kloss, the singer's former best friend. The reality TV star posted an old selfie with Kloss while sending birthday wishes to her friend Derek Blasberg on Instagram Stories. Despite captioning the photo with a kiss emoji, the move caught the attention of Swift's fans, known as Swifties, who reacted online.
Swifties expressed surprise and curiosity over Kardashian's decision to post a picture with Kloss, especially considering the history between the two celebrities. This action came shortly after Taylor Swift released a new song titled 'thanK you aIMee,' where she seemingly referenced Kardashian. The song quickly gained attention as fans decoded the capitalized letters to spell out 'K-I-M,' hinting at a possible dig at the reality star.
The feud between Kardashian and Swift dates back to 2016 when Kanye West, Kardashian's former husband, mentioned Swift in his song 'Famous.' This incident led to a public dispute between Swift and the celebrity couple, with Kardashian later releasing a phone call that appeared to show Swift giving West permission to reference her in the song. The controversy resulted in a significant backlash against Swift on social media.
Throughout the years, Swift has subtly referenced Kardashian in her music and interviews, while Kloss, who was once close friends with Swift, has also been linked to the ongoing drama. Speculation about a rift between Kloss and Swift arose in 2018 when Swift missed Kloss' weddings and when Kloss was associated with Scooter Braun, who acquired Swift's master recordings.
Despite the complexities of their relationships, fans continue to analyze the dynamics between Kardashian, Swift, and Kloss, with some suggesting that Swift may have used Kardashian as a 'red herring' in her recent song. The ongoing drama and speculation surrounding these high-profile figures have captivated fans and sparked discussions about loyalty, fame, and the intricacies of celebrity relationships.
