Kim Kardashian has lost 100,000 Instagram followers since the release of Taylor Swift’s song “thanK you aIMee”, which fans suspect alludes to the pair’s years-long feud.
The 34-year-old pop star released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, at midnight on Friday (19 April). Hours later, she dropped a surprise “2am version” that extended the record with 15 more songs.
Kardashian’s follower count quickly began dropping after the album’s release, with fans spotting multiple “clues” the “thanK you aIMee” track is about the 43-year-old reality star.
The main indication the album’s 24th track might be referencing Kardashian is the capitalisation of the letters K, I and M to spell out her first name, amongst other hints.
Although neither Kardashian or Swift have addressed fan theories about “thanK you aIMee”, the reality star’s Instagram following dropped from 364.3 million followers to 363 million over the weekend following The Tortured Poets Department release.
The “thanK you aIMee” lyrics outline how Swift’s life was positively impacted by how “Aimee” treated her. She sings in the chorus: “All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed, ‘Fuck you, Aimee’ to the night sky as the blood was gushin’ / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”
Swift fans have been bombarding Kardashian’s Instagram posts with references to the song, writing: “Thank you aimee!!!!” and “All the time u were throwing punches…” in her comment section.
