TAYLOR Swift fans have attacked Kim Kardashian on her home turf – social media.
Swifties trolled Kim’s Instagram page shortly after Taylor’s new album release, which many say throws some serious shade at the Kardashians star.

Taylor’s much anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, came out at midnight, and one song in particular quickly caught the attention of fans.
Many have pointed out the 24th track off the new album, thanK you aIMee, just so happens to have capital letters that spell out “KIM.”
Kim, 43, and Taylor, 34, are said to be in a bitter rivalry.
After the new song dropped, Taylor’s devoted fans took that as a cue to go after Kim.
They flooded the comments section of Kim’s recent post on Instagram – a shoutout to sister Kourtney on her 45th birthday.
The majority of the snarky comments simply quoted the name of the song.
Others said they were looking forward to seeing a Swift response.
“The way I ran to Instagram after thanK you aIMee,” one person commented.
“As soon as I heard the song, I couldn’t get here fast enough,” another echoed.
“Came to see if Swifties had made it here yet,” a third noted, adding a laughing emoji.

“Bahahah I just listened to (the) @kimkardashian diss song,” a fourth clapped. “Super clever, @taylorswift, much needed.”
BAD BLOOD
Taylor has been locked in a bitter feud with the Skims founder and her ex-husband Kanye West, 46, for years.
And lyrics in her new song seem to torture Kim.
“There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you and a plaque underneath it / That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school,” she sings in one line.
Taylor’s bitter feud with Kanye and Kim explained
Taylor Swift has been locked in a nasty feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for years.
2009 – Kanye interrupted Taylor’s VMA win for Best Female Video onstage, saying, “I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time”
2009 – Later that month, Kanye admitted he regretted the action and Taylor confirmed that he rang to apologize
2010 – Taylor performed Innocent, a song rumored to be about Kanye, at the VMAs, singing, “It’s all right / Just wait and see / Your string of lights is still bright to me / Who you are is not where you’ve been”
2013 – Kanye took back his apology to the singer, insisting, “I do not have one regret”
2015 – The former rivals reunited at the 2015 Grammy Awards and posed together for photos and Taylor later said she “likes him as a person”
2016 – Kanye debuted his song, Famous, with the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous”
2016 – After Taylor insisted she did not approve the lyric, “I made that b***h famous,” Kim released video footage of her phone call with Kanye
2017 – Taylor seemingly referenced their feud in her album, Reputation, teasing the news with videos of a serpent – a nod to the snake emojis posted in her Instagram comments implying she was a liar – and seemed to diss Kanye in her song, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
2018 – Taylor said Kim had not released the full recording and asked, “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that b***h’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that b***’ in front of the entire world”
2019 – Kim insisted in a magazine interview that they had “squashed” their feud
2019 – Taylor claimed Kanye’s Famous music video was “revenge porn” as it featured a fake naked sculpture of her
2020 – The full phone call between Taylor and Kanye was leaked, in which there was no mention of her being called “that b***h”
2020 – Kim initially said the call revealed “nothing new” and later backtracked and tweeted, “the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word ‘b***h’ was used without her permission.
2023 – Taylor said in a TIME interview that the feud with Kim and Kanye felt like a “career death” and “took her down psychologically”
In another part of the song, she sings, “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.
“‘Cause all that time you were throwing punches.”
She appeared to be alluding to Kim and North dancing to Taylor’s 2014 hit, Shake It Off, on their joint TikTok in January 2023.
BIRTHDAY BLAST
Meanwhile, all Kim was trying to do was wish her sister a happy birthday.
But even that backfired on the reality star.
After Kim posted a snap of her with Kourtney and their sister Khloe, 39, in bikinis from their recent Turks and Caicos getaway, fans accused her of trying to outshine her older sis.
In the photo, Kim stood slightly away from her sisters and pouted at the camera while flashing a peace sign with her arms wide open.
Khloe stood with her arm around Kourtney, smiling at the camera, while Kourtney had her eyes closed and looked slightly blurry as if she was mid-action.
Critics in the comments called Kim out for picking a photo where she stood out the most.
“Of course she would post a picture where she looks good and outshines Kourt,” one wrote.
“Jokes on Kim cause I actually think Kourtney looks the best here… most natural,” another added.
