Taylor Swift fans 'screaming' as she appears to make savage swipe at Kim Kardashian on new album

They've been sent into a right frenzy

Swifties all across the globe are having a proper moment right now after Taylor Swift's eagerly-anticipated new album has finally been released.

Taylor Swift dropped her 11th studio album, titled 'The Tortured Poets Department', today (19 April) and fans have been sent into a right frenzy.

Now, while the brand-new album features 17 tracks - it's clear there's one track in particular that's really caught the attention of listeners.

On the anthology version of the album, there's a song titled 'thanK you aIMee' and it seems the three capitalised letters are leading many fans to come to their own conclusions on who it's actually about.

As you can see, the only capital letters spell out 'KIM' - with many jumping to conclusions that it's all about none other than Kim Kardashian.

Now, the song is all about a fictional bully named 'Aimee' and people are wondering why Taylor made a point to capitalise the letters 'KIM' in the song title - especially given their previous public feud.

Rewind to 2016, and Kim's ex-husband, Kanye West, released a song called 'Famous' which took a very direct jab at Taylor.

Kim later came out to claim that she'd agreed to it and even released audio of a phone call where she gave it the all-clear.

Fast-forward nearly a decade and fans reckon Taylor hasn't forgotten as the 34-year-old 'Cruel Summer' hit-maker sings in the chorus: "All that time you were throwing 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 gushing / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal."

In the second verse, she continues: "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."

Another lyric reads: "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," which some people believe is about Kim's daughter, North West, posting a TikTok dancing to a Taylor Swift song.

Now, while all of this is just a matter of speculation, it's not stopped Swifties from going into overdrive, with many rushing to social media to share their reactions.

One X user penned: "OMG. thanK you aIMee. I am speechless."

"thanK you aIMee," wrote a second. "KIM??"

A third quipped: "not a song about a school bully being called thanK you aIMEE. KIM."

"ThanK you aIMee is DERANGED I'm crying," piped up another. "Holy sh*t, the way she literally said 'and so I changed your name and any real defining clues' BUT THE DEFINING CLUES ARE LITERALLY THE CAPITAL LETTERS IN THE TITLE.

"I'm laughing so hard that's actually so funny."

A final Twitter user echoed: "SHE DID NOT. I’m SCREAMING. HOW IS THIS REAL. thanK you aIMee."
