Taylor Swift seemingly shifts shade from Kim Kardashian to Ye with updated song title
Taylor Swift seemed to take aim at Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, with an updated title for a song from her album "The Tortured Poets Department."
Taylor Swift seemed to take aim at Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, with an updated title for a song from her album "The Tortured Poets Department."
Taylor Nation announced the release of a digital album Thursday featuring a mash up of the song, "thanK you aIMee" and 2010 hit "Mean" — which was performed by Swift in Wembley in June as part of her London Eras Tour.
The song’s original title "thanK you aIMee," with the letters K I and M capitalized, is widely considered to be one of the megastar's most overt diss tracks, targeting Kim Kardashian following a rumored yearslong feud. But the Taylor Nation announcement instead highlighted the letters Y and E in the song's title — seemingly calling out Ye.
Swift and West's back-and-forth can be traced back to 2010, when the rapper snatched the microphone from Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards as she was accepting the "Best Female Video" award.
The situation came to a head following the controversy surrounding West’s lyrics about Swift in his song “Famous.” Swift claimed she was unaware that West would refer to her as “that b----” in his song. But West’s wife at the time, Kim Kardashian, shared a short and edited video in 2016 of West apparently speaking to Swift and getting her approval for the song.
