Taylor Swift has changed the title of her alleged diss track to Kim Kardashian, thanK you aIMee, to a new live version of the song.
When Taylor released the original single in April, fans immediately noticed that she had capitalized K, I, and M and assumed she was targeting Kim.
Kim and Taylor have had a feud that has been ongoing for nearly a decade, lending credence to rumors that the song was about the reality star.
This week, however, Taylor gifted fans with a new live recording of the song, and the title has been slightly altered to indicate that she now has a new focus.
Although the song’s name sounds the same when said out loud, Taylor changed the capitalization in a clever change.

The song is now spelled thank You aimEe, so Y and E are capitalized to form Ye, the new name of Kim’s third ex-husband, controversial rap star Kanye West.
The lyrics are about a school bully who “would write headlines in the local paper,” mock her, and even throw “punches” that left her “with blood gushing out.”
“Everybody knows my mother’s a holy woman, but she used to say she wished you were dead,” Taylor sings in an impassioned verse.
Just days before Taylor released her new live version of the song, she was able to score a professional win over Kanye.
Kanye’s previous 11 albums all debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, but his new release Vultures 2 failed to do so because the number one position was occupied by Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department.
Vultures 2, which is a duet project with Ty Dolla $ign, includes a song in which Kanye pokes fun at Taylor’s romance with NFL star Travis Kelce.
“In the end, I squeeze my Taylor joints tight, like Travis Kelce,” Kanye raps on the song Lifestyle (Demo), in a clear nod to the relationship.
When the original thank you aIMee was published in April, a source told DailyMail.com: “Taylor has humiliated Kim and she knows there’s nothing she can do about it. Kim got what she feared was coming to her and now she’s cornered because she knows Taylor’s army will destroy her if she says anything.”

Meanwhile, the feud between Taylor and Kanye began explosively in 2009, when he took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and interrupted her acceptance speech to heap praise on her competitor Beyoncé.
Kim married Kanye in Florence in 2014, and a couple of years later she also found herself embroiled in his feud with the Bad Blood singer.
In 2016, Kanye released a song called Famous that included a provocative line about his encounter with Taylor at the VMAs: “I made that bitch famous.”
The music video for the single featured a notorious sequence of Kanye lying in bed next to mannequins of various topless people, including Kim and Taylor.
Taylor claimed she had no idea Kanye would use the line, “I made that b*tch famous,” prompting Kim to denounce her as a “snake.”
At the time, Kim leaked a video of Kanye’s phone call to Taylor in which he promoted her lyric: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.”
The video suggested that Taylor had lied about not being warned about the song and received massive public backlash as a result.
Her social media attacks are believed to have been part of the reason Taylor subsequently took a break from music.

The feud began in 2009, when Kanye took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech to praise Beyoncé.
She made her comeback in 2017 with her reckoning song Look What You Made Me Do, whose music video made multiple references to the ‘Kimye’ feud.
At one point, Taylor mimes firing a gun while sitting in a bathtub filled with diamonds, seemingly a joke about Kim’s robbery in Paris, when the reality star was thrown into the tub bound and gagged while robbers made off with her jewelry.
In early 2020, as COVID-19 lockdowns swept the United States, the feud resurfaced when a more complete video of Kanye’s phone call with Taylor about Famous emerged.
Throughout the video, Kanye never once asks Taylor about her use of the word “bitch” or the suggestion that he “made her famous.”
Swifties seized on the video as proof that their idol had been vindicated, and the outcry on social media became so intense that Kim issued a response.

Kanye’s 2016 music video for Famous included an infamous sequence of him lying shirtless in bed next to mannequins of various topless people, including Taylor and Kim Kardashian.
Kim accused Taylor of “lying” and mocked her for deciding to “rekindle an old exchange, which at this point seems very selfish given the suffering millions of real victims are facing right now.”
She claimed: ‘To be clear, the only issue I had with the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist, who claimed that “Kanye never called to ask permission…” They spoke clearly, so I’ll let you all see that. No one ever denied that the word “b****” was used without their permission.’
Kim added: ‘At the time they spoke, the song had not yet been fully written, but as everyone can see in the video, she manipulated the truth of their actual conversation in her statement when her team said she “refused and warned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.”
She insisted: ‘The lie was never about the word b****, it was always about whether there was a call or not and the tone of the conversation.’
However, at the time of the original Famous controversy in 2016, a spokeswoman for Taylor told a rather different story.
“Kanye didn’t ask for her approval, but instead asked Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account. She refused and warned him against releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message,” he explained. “Taylor was never informed of the actual lyric, ‘I made that b***h famous.'”
