Taylor Swift drops retitled version of ‘thank You aimEe’ seemingly aimed at Kanye West
It appears the feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West is far from over.
On Thursday, the “Bad Blood” singer released a retitled version of her diss record, “thanK you aIMee” — which initially spelled “Kim” in all capital letters — on a new digital version of “The Tortured Poets Department” album on her website. This time, she seems to be taking aim at the SKIMS founder’s ex-husband.
The track is now titled “thank You aimEe” with a capital “Y” and “E,” which appears to be a reference to Kanye West, who now goes by Ye.
The song is the live rendition Swift performed at her Eras Tour show held at Wembley Stadium in July. At the concert, she performed a mashup of the song with “Mean” from her “Speak Now” album.
The new version of the album will be available at 11:59 pm ET, per her website.
Swift’s move comes shortly after the Yeezy founder name-dropped her on his recent album, “Vultures 2.”
“I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” he rapped in his song titled, “Lifestyle (Demo).”
Though she hasn’t verbally addressed the lyric, the singer’s latest accomplishment has spoken volumes.
Earlier this week, the Grammy winner made history by breaking West’s record of having 11 consecutive albums to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart after her latest project stole the top spot for the 14th time.
“TTPD,” Swift’s 11th studio album raked in an additional 142,000 equivalent album units, while West’s follow-up featuring Ty Dolla $ign picked up 107,000 equivalent album units in its opening week.
Swift and Ye’s decades-long feud dates back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where the rapper infamously stormed the stage as she accepted the award for Best Female Video to tell the crowd he believed Beyoncé should have won the trophy instead.
The two parties seemingly made up after the incident but the feud was reignited after West name-dropped Swift on his 2016 song, “Famous.”
Soon after, Kardashian — who was West’s wife at the time — released an edited video clip to show Swift gave West approval to reference her in his lyrics.
Swift denounced the video years later in her 2023 interview with TIME magazine, calling the clip a “fully manufactured frame job.”
