Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian’s feud has taken a new turn, with Kardashian posting a photo with Karlie Kloss, who was once Swift’s close friend. The photo, which appears to be a throwback from 2022, was posted on Instagram on Tuesday, just days after Swift released a song that is rumored to be about her feud with Kardashian. Fans quickly noticed the photo and believe that Kardashian posted it as a way to get back at Swift.
Swift and Kardashian’s feud dates back to 2016, when Kardashian leaked an edited phone call of Swift seemingly giving her ex-husband, Kanye West, permission to release his song “Famous,” where he raps about Swift: “I made that bitch famous.” Swift shot back and said West never told her about the “bitch” line, but still, the internet piled on Swift, causing her to go into hiding until she released her album “Reputation” in 2017.
Even though it’s been almost a decade, Swift seemingly hasn’t let it go. On her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which was released last week, Swift includes a song called “thanK you aIMee,” which has three letters conveniently capitalized, leading fans to believe it’s about Kim Kardashian.
Neither Kloss nor Swift have publicly acknowledged any kind of falling out, but fans have watched closely as the two, who once called themselves sisters, have distanced themselves. And in 2021, Swift released the song “It’s Time to Go,” which include the lyrics “When the words of a sister come back in whispers / That prove she was not / In fact what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams / She’s a crook who was caught,” leading fans to think Swift was calling out Kloss.
Still, Kloss attended Swift’s Eras tour last year in the Los Angeles area, but instead of watching from the VIP tent, where other celebrities, including Austin Butler, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Travis Kelce, were gathered, Kloss was in the crowd with the non-famous Swifties.
