Taylor Swift appeared to make a subtle dig at Kim Kardashian during one of her ‘Eras’ shows in London over the weekend.

During her second show at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (June 22), as she played the intro to ‘thanK you aIMee’, which many fans believe is a reference to her feud with the reality star, Swift told the London crowd (via The Independent) : “Every time someone talks shit, it makes me work even harder. It makes me that much tougher. It also makes me incredibly thankful for those people.”
When the track from her recent album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ was released in April, fans were quick to notice Swift seemingly makes several references to Kardashian on it.

The letters capitalised in the title spell out ‘Kim’, immediately connecting the song to the Kardashian. ‘thanK you aIMee’ sees Swift discuss a seemingly fictional story of a feud between the singer and someone named Aimee from her hometown who was a bully and ended up being celebrated.

Lyrics such as: “All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’” led fans to believe that this was a reference to “Kardashian’s attempt to ruin Taylor’s career during the phone scandal backfired on her and boosted Taylor to an even higher level of fame,” (via Genius).
The theory for that lyric comes from the feud between Kardashian and Swift in 2016 after the release of the reality TV star’s ex Husband – Kanye West‘s track ‘Famous’. In the song, West claimed that he made Swift famous following the infamous 2009 MTV VMAs incident.
