After being referenced by Taylor Swift in her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” Kim Kardashian has finally broken her silence on the ongoing feud between them. Swift’s song “thanK you aIMee” appears to contain references to Kardashian, including lines about a “bronze spray-tanned statue” and a “plaque underneath it / That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school.”
In her first interview since the album’s release, Kardashian appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and addressed the feud briefly. Kimmel joked about Swift’s album in his opening monologue, but did not ask Kardashian any direct questions about it. This prompted criticism from fans who felt that Kimmel missed an opportunity to delve deeper into the matter.
Kardashian has maintained that she is not affected by Swift’s references, saying “life is good.” However, the feud has a long history, stemming from Kardashian’s defense of her ex-husband, Kanye West, after he made vulgar remarks about Swift in his song “Famous.” Swift claimed that West had not received her full consent for the lyrics, which led to a public dispute between her, Kardashian, and West.
In 2023, Swift was crowned TIME magazine’s Person of the Year and spoke about the impact that the feud had on her. She said that it “took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before” and that she “moved to a foreign country” and “pushed away most people in my life” as a result.
Despite the apparent references in Swift’s new album, Kardashian has chosen to remain silent on the matter, focusing instead on promoting her shapewear brand, SKIMS, during her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Fans, however, remain eager for more information about the ongoing feud between the two stars.
