Taylor Swift‘s latest album title promised there’d be torture. Now that two tracks from The Tortured Poets Department are heavily rumored to be about Kim Kardashian, a brand new report claims that the 43-year-old reality TV star feels “humiliated” amid the backlash she’s receiving from Swifties.
“Taylor has humiliated Kim, and he or she knows that there may be nothing she will be able to do about it,’ Every day Mail reported on Friday, April 19, just hours after each of Taylor’s TTPD albums dropped. “Kim got what she feared was coming to her eventually and is now backed in a corner because she knows Taylor’s army will destroy her if she says anything.”
As for what the SKIMS founder is planning on doing concerning the situation, the insider told the outlet that Kim “goes to remain silent and hopes it can go away.”
The source also noted that Kim is “aware of the pain” that she caused Taylor years ago and claimed that the Kardashians star has “tried hard to make amends in recent times.”
“But she never did the one thing that she really needed to all along — simply apologize,” the insider concluded, stating that for the reason that album’s release, “Fans are already spamming her Instagram posts with ‘thanK you aIMee. Essentially the most malicious a part of all of that is the song title. … Taylor has done loads of diss tracks, but she has never named anyone that her songs are written for.”
After Taylor released her double album at midnight and at 2 a.m. that day, her fan base quickly investigated the lyrical meanings behind two of her songs: “thanK you aIMee” and “Cassandra.” Although she doesn’t mention Kim in any respect in any of the tracks, “thanK you aIMee” spells out Kim’s first name in its title.
“And so I modified your name, and any real defining clues,” Taylor sings within the bridge of the song, which describes a “spray-tanned statue” of a highschool bully. “And sooner or later, your kid comes home singin’ / A song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”
In “Cassandra,” the Grammy winner sings about an indignant town punishing her for something that she was ultimately right about.
“When the primary stone’s thrown, they’re screamin,’” she sings within the pre-chorus. “Within the streets, there’s a raging riot / When it’s ‘Burn the bitch,’ they’re shrieking / When the reality comes out, it’s quiet.”
In 2016, Taylor and Kim were embroiled in a messy feud after Taylor expressed her grievances with Kim’s then-husband Kanye West‘s song “Famous.” In his track, he says that he made “that bitch famous,” referring to the “Love Story” hitmaker. After Taylor publicly went against the song, Kim shared recorded Snapchat videos of a phone call between Taylor and Kanye, wherein Taylor was heard agreeing with Ye’s lyrics in a single a part of the one. Nevertheless, Taylor has maintained that this didn’t represent the complete story.
