It seems like the feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West is far from over. Fifteen years after West infamously interrupted Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, the pop star has made a bold move by referencing him in a scathing track. Originally titled “thanK you aIMee” to allude to West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, the track has now been retitled to “thank You aimEe,” seemingly directed at West himself.
The New Song Version
The updated version of the song can be found on Swift’s eleventh album on her website. It is a live mash-up of “thanK you aIMee” and her 2010 single “Mean,” performed during the Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium last month.
The History of the Feud
During a performance of “aIMee” at Wembley, Swift took the opportunity to thank her fans while throwing shade at Kardashian for her behavior. This feud dates back almost a decade when Swift denied giving West permission to reference her in his song “Famous.” Kardashian, on the other hand, claimed in an interview with GQ that Swift had approved the lyrics.
The tension between Swift and Kardashian escalated when the reality TV star posted a phone call between Swift and West discussing the song before its release. This led to Swift being labeled a “snake” by Kardashian. The fallout between the two lasted for years, with Swift accusing West and Kardashian of manipulating recordings in 2020.
West’s Response
West didn’t stay silent either. In his latest album, Vultures 2, he took a jab at Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs. In the song “Lifestyle (Demo),” West rapped about twisting his “Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.”
Even Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, expressed his disapproval of West on Facebook, calling out the rapper-producer for what he perceived as “mental illness on full display.”
Conclusion
