For the release of the live version of the song that she played in London in June, Taylor Swift has just quietly changed the song title from “thanK you aIMee” to “thank You aimEe.” This seemingly little change is causing Swifties to express their sentiments in a profound manner.
Several days after the 14-time Grammy winner’s album, The Tortured Poets Department, achieved its fourteenth week at the top of the Billboard 200 list, therefore preventing Ye (a.k.a. Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s joint album, Vultures 2, from reaching the top position, Swift seemed to take a swipe at the Chicago rapper.
Swift, who is 34 years old, shared the live mashup of “thank You aimEe” and “Mean,” which she mixed together during her Eras Tour performance on June 22. The mashup was uploaded on Thursday, August 15. The capital letters in the original title were styled to spell out KIM, and the song was about a bully who was thought to be Kim Kardashian.
As of right now, the capital letters in the headline, which reads “thank You aimEe,” spell out YE, which seems to be the most recent development in their ongoing spat that has lasted for years.
Taylor Swift performs the following lyrics in the song “Tortured Poets”: “All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed ‘F— you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushing / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”
In addition to Ye interrupting Taylor Swift’s victory speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the rapper also incorporated the following lyrics in his song “Famous” to be released in 2016: There is a possibility that Taylor and I are still having sexual relations. I am the one who brought that b— to fame. After then, he said that she had given her approval to the lyrics. Swift’s spokesperson, on the other hand, denied that she was aware of the lyrics, which read, “I made that b—- famous.” During the whole of the battle, Kardashian was Ye’s supporter.
Swift has never disclosed the identity of the person who is the subject of the song “thanK you aIMee” (also spelled “thank You aimEe”); nonetheless, listeners have swiftly pointed out that the “KIM” refers to Kardashian, and the “YE” refers to her ex-husband.
“We love a shady queen,” one user remarked on X (which was then known as Twitter), while another user added, “Taylor changing the letters in thank you aimee from ‘Kim’ to ‘Ye’ is a very rep coded thing for her to do to show her appreciation for everyone.”
Swifties are eagerly expecting the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), which is the re-recorded version of her album that was released in 2017 and came out after the rivalry with the pair that was at the time. The song title change comes at a time when their anticipation is at an all-time high.
