Kim Kardashian has lost more than 100,000 Instagram followers after Taylor Swift dropped two ‘diss tracks’ about her last week.
The two songs – thanK you aIMee and Cassandra – were part of the surprise ‘double album’ version of Taylor’s new record The Troubled Poets Department, marking the latest broadside in the pop star’s explosive long-running feud with Kim and her ex-husband Kanye West.
One of the tracks, which is directed at a vicious bully, is called ‘thanK you aIMee’ – with the letters K, I and M tellingly capitalized.
After Kim’s Instagram comment section was trolled, her 363million following took a substantial hit – dropping by 120,000.
‘When I picture my hometown, there’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you,’ Taylor sings at the beginning of the acid-tongued song: ‘and a plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs at our school.’
‘Swifties’ then flooded onto Kim’s Instagram page to fill her comments with the phrase: ‘Thank you Aimee,’ signaling their loyalty to Taylor, 34.
Kim had posted a birthday tribute to her older sister Kourtney Kardashian on Thursday, but by Friday morning its comments were deluged with: ‘Thank you Aimee’ messages from devoted Taylor Swift fans.
The Tortured Poets Department saw Taylor blisteringly address multiple exes, including Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy.
Taylor officially dropped The Tortured Poets Department – her 11th studio album – on Friday, leaving fans scrambling to unravel the many pointed references to various romantic partners hidden within the lyrics of her songs.
But while Taylor made several digs at the likes of Joe and Matty, her former boyfriends were not the only people to find themselves at the pointy end of the singer’s razor-tongued attacks.
Reality star Kim was also among the targets of the album, with listeners calling out not one, but two ‘diss tracks’ in which Taylor appears to reference her bitter feud with the reality star as well as with Kanye.
Taylor’s album was officially released at midnight ET (2am UK time), but just two hours later, she revealed on social media that there was a ‘second installment’, titled The Anthology, having sparked a flurry of speculation that a shock reveal was coming when she shared a countdown clock on social media.
Among the tracks included in that second release is a song titled thanK you aIMee, which fans are now convinced is aimed specifically at Kim.
Fans also called out another song called Cassandra, which makes several references to ‘snakes’; the snake emoji has played a major role in the ongoing feud between Taylor and Kim, as well as the reality star’s ex-husband Kanye West, leading many to believe that the track is yet another subtle jab.
Meanwhile thanK you aIMee centers on Taylor’s apparent dislike for a mean school girl she refers to as ‘Aimee’ – with fans convinced that the person she is actually singing about is Kim.

Taylor sings in one line: ‘There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you and a plaque underneath it/That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school.’
‘All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed ‘F**k you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’ / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.’
She goes on to add: ‘And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill / Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе / And then she wrote hеadlines/ In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take.’
Taylor concludes by confirming she’s changed the name of the woman she’s singing about – further fueling speculation the track is about Kim.
She also seems to reference Kim’s 10-year-old daughter North West dancing to her 2014 single Shake It Off on TikTok, finding it ironic as the ‘song is about you’.
She sings: ‘And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues/And one day, your kid comes home singin’ a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.’
Sharing their thoughts on social media platform X, one fan described the song as ‘The ultimate f**k you,’ while another shocked listener said: ‘OMFG thanK you aIMee is about Kim Kardashian. This album is SO unhinged.’
Another chimed in: ‘Kim your day of reckoning is here,’ while one simply wrote: ‘Welcome to your tape.’
While the references in Cassandra are largely more subtle, that hasn’t stopped fans from calling out the way in which Taylor appears to be going after Kim.
