Taylor Swift shared a message for haters who ‘talk s***’ before singing Kim Kardashian’s rumored track, thanks to IMee, during the second night of her Eras Tour stop in London on Saturday.
The Grammy winner, 34, who went Instagram official with boyfriend Travis Kelce while posing with the Prince of Wales, performed the song from her album Tortured Poets Department.
Upon its release, fans were quick to speculate that the song, which is stylized so that the capital letters spell ‘KIM,’ was referencing Swift’s alleged feud with the SKIMS founder.
Before singing a combination of thanks to IMee and Mean from her album Speak Now, Taylor said, according to Us weekly: ‘It really makes me think about how every time someone talks shit, it makes me work even harder and makes me even tougher.
“So, it also makes me feel incredibly grateful for those people,” the star further stated to the sold-out crowd.

Upon its release, fans were quick to speculate that the song, which is stylized so that the capital letters spell ‘KIM,’ was in reference to Swift’s alleged feud with the SKIMS founder.
Shortly before, Taylor had gushed about having the opportunity to perform eight concerts at Wembley Stadium during her Eras Tour.
The star began her stop in London on Friday, June 21, followed by two additional nights on Saturday and Sunday, June 23. He will return to the site in August for five more nights.
“I was thinking about playing at Wembley Stadium. “That’s not even remotely normal (and) it’s crazy that you did that for me… and for my team because we’re playing at Wembley Stadium eight times this summer.”
The Love Story hitmaker continued: “You clearly thought it was a good idea (and) you wanted this to happen.” It leaves me speechless. I’ll spend forever trying to thank you for that.
ThanK you aIMee appeared on Taylor’s eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, which was released a few months earlier in April. It was also speculated that another song, Cassandra, was about the reality star.
After its publication, a source said Us weekly at the time the diss track was Swift’s ‘last word’ on their years-long feud.
‘The song is his last word. “Taylor has moved on and isn’t looking back,” the source told the outlet, adding that the singer “hasn’t heard back” from Kim about the song.
A separate source said People Following the album’s release, Kim is “over” the feud with Taylor and wants her to “move on.”

“She’s over it and thinks Taylor should move on,” the source said, adding that Kim “doesn’t understand why (Swift) keeps insisting on it.” It’s literally been years.’
In addition to the unsubtle title, fans believe Thank You Aimee is directed at Kim thanks to its chorus: “All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something.”
‘And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / I screamed ‘Fuck you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood gushed / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.’
Elsewhere in the lyrics, Taylor sings about removing ‘defining clues’ about the person she’s singing about, adding, ‘I changed your name,’ which instantly drew more listeners to the irregularly capitalized title.
The current feud between Taylor and Kim appears to date back to the 2016 release of Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo.
On the song Famous from that album, Kim’s ex-husband raps, “I feel like Taylor and I could still have sex / Why?” I made that bitch famous.”
The phrase, which alludes to when Kanye interrupted Taylor’s victory at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, was supposedly passed to the singer for her approval, but she denies giving it the go-ahead.
Taylor said she had been contacted about the song, but “never found out the actual lyrics: ‘I made that bitch famous.'”

In an effort to prove Kanye’s version, Kim shared an edited clip from the studio in which he calls out Taylor and seemingly gets her approval.
However, the clip shows him conveying the idea, rather than the specific lyrics, and when the full call was later leaked, he made it clear that the use of ‘b****’, which seemed to be a major issue for Taylor, was completely excluded.
Things seemed to calm down in the following years, with Kim claiming in 2019 on Watch What Happens Live that the trio had “overcome” the feud.
However, that’s not how the Blank Space singer saw it, later saying in an interview with Elle that “it would be nice if we could get an apology from the people who harass us.”
Although Taylor’s career has never been better or more prominent than in recent years, he complained in his Person of the Year Profile 2023 TIME that the dispute “took me psychologically to a place I had never been before.”
“You have a completely fabricated frame, in an illegally recorded phone call, that Kim Kardashian edited and then posted to tell everyone I was a liar,” she fumed.
It is illegal to record a phone call in California, where at least some of the parties were likely located during the original exchange, without the permission of all parties on the call.
Taylor added that her heartbreak caused her to move “to a foreign country” afterwards.
