Kim Kardashian Reportedly Humiliated Over Taylor Swift’s “Thank You Amy” Track But Fears Swifties’ Wrath

The long-standing feud between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift seems to have been reignited with the release of Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. While the album has been lauded for its artistic brilliance, it’s also stirred significant drama, especially with one particular track, “Thank You Amy,” that fans believe is aimed directly at Kardashian. According to insiders, Kim Kardashian reportedly feels humiliated but has chosen to stay silent, fearing backlash from Swift’s intensely loyal fan base, known as Swifties.

The Clue in the Capitalized Letters

It didn’t take long for fans to dissect the lyrics of “Thank You Amy” and discover something curious: a hidden code. All lowercase letters in the song’s lyrics, except for the sporadic capital letters, spell out the name “Kim” when put together. The speculation was further fueled by Swifties, who pointed out that this subtle yet unmistakable clue hints that the song is, indeed, about the reality star.

Fans also couldn’t help but link this new diss track to the infamous feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian that dates back to 2009 when Kanye West, Kim’s then-husband, interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). The moment became one of the most talked-about pop culture incidents, with Kanye proclaiming that Beyoncé deserved the award over Taylor. Since then, the animosity between Swift and the Kardashian-West duo has only grown, culminating in a series of public spats and one notorious leaked phone call.

A Deep Dive Into “Thank You Amy”

In the song’s opening lines, Swift sings, “When I picture my hometown, there’s a bronze spray tan statue of you and a plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs at our school.” This line, while metaphorical, seemingly refers to Kim Kardashian’s highly publicized persona and her tanned skin, making it clear to listeners who the song is about. The mention of a school bully is another dig, possibly hinting at how Swift felt during the peak of their feud.

The chorus takes things even further with the lines: “All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something, and I can’t forgive the way you made me feel.” This emotional gut-punch highlights the impact the public feud had on Taylor, with many fans linking it back to the infamous leaked phone call where Kardashian and West seemingly manipulated Swift’s words to make her appear dishonest. In 2016, Kim released edited snippets of a conversation between Swift and Kanye, making it seem like Swift approved the controversial lyrics in Kanye’s song Famous, which she had vehemently denied.

The Aftermath of the 2016 Incident

When the full, unedited version of the phone call finally surfaced in 2020, it was revealed that Swift had indeed been telling the truth all along. Yet, by then, the damage had been done. Swift had become the target of widespread online hate, spurred on by Kardashian’s hashtag campaign #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty. Taylor later opened up about how the incident led her to isolate herself from the public for a significant period, retreating from the limelight and moving to a foreign country to escape the scrutiny.

While The Tortured Poets Department is full of personal reflections and stories, it’s this specific track that has drawn the most attention. Swift’s ability to blend personal grievances with artistic expression is on full display here, as she masterfully dissects her relationship with Kim while still creating a universally relatable piece of art.

Why “Amy”?

The choice of the name “Amy” for the track’s title has also sparked intrigue. Some believe it was a random name picked to conceal Kardashian’s identity in a coy, poetic manner. However, Swift is known for layering her songs with hidden meanings. Interestingly, the name Amy, when spelled a particular way, translates to “beloved friend” in French. This has led to further speculation that Swift might be employing sarcasm, calling out Kim not only for her past actions but also for trying to portray herself as a friend when, in reality, she did more harm than good.

The North West Connection

One of the more ironic twists in this ongoing feud came when Kim Kardashian and her daughter, North West, posted a TikTok video in which they danced to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off.” While some saw it as a light-hearted moment between mother and daughter, others couldn’t help but find the situation amusing. After all, “Shake It Off” is essentially a song about Swift letting go of the negativity surrounding her, much of which stemmed from her issues with Kim and Kanye.

Swifties, ever the detectives, were quick to latch onto this connection, noting that in “Thank You Amy,” Taylor references a child singing a song that only the two of them (Taylor and Kim) would know was about the feud. The timing and context of Kim’s TikTok with North only fueled further speculation that this line was another not-so-subtle nod to the Kardashian family.

Kim Kardashian’s Response – Silence

As for Kim Kardashian, she has remained notably quiet about the entire situation. While sources claim she feels humiliated, it’s been reported that she’s deliberately avoiding commenting on the matter to avoid inciting Swift’s fiercely protective fanbase. Swifties have a history of defending their idol with a level of intensity that many celebrities prefer not to engage with. Kim’s decision to stay silent might be a calculated one to avoid further drama.
