“Life is good” for Kim Kardashian — despite Taylor Swift’s scathing diss track “thanK you aIMee,” which was released last week.
The “Kardashians” star, 43, appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday, and made no comments about the song that Swifties believe is about her.
Swift’s new song is from her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The lyrics could be a clear reference to Kardashian — and the capitalization of “thanK you aIMee” even spells out “Kim.”
Instead of discussing their years-long feud, Kardashian opened up about her brand’s Ultimate Nipple Bra and growing up in Madonna’s neighborhood. The pair live close to each other today too, and even ran into each other trick-or-treating on Halloween.
Kimmel then asked her a round of online rumors.
“You sleep with your eyes slightly open?” Kimmel asked.
“I do!” she confirmed. “There’s footage because my sisters have taken videos and pictures.”
Additionally, she revealed she hates the sound and feeling of cardboard, she blow dries jewelry before putting it on, and washes her feet before bed.
“How are you and Donald Trump now? I think on the outs right?” Kimmel went on.
“Listen, I don’t think he likes me very much. But I’m ok. I think he did amazing stuff with prisoner reform … so that’s what I’ll focus on.”
Some viewers were annoyed that Kimmel “missed [an] opportunity” to ask Kardashian about Swift, while others questioned if Kardashian’s PR team requested that she not be asked about the musician.
Although Swift’s surprise double album appeared to be all about exes Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and John Mayer, she seemingly compared Kardashian to a high school bully on “thanK you aIMee.”
There’s a “bronze spray-tanned statue” of “Aimee” with a “plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs at our school,” she sings as she describes her hometown.
“All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’/ And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel/ Screamed ‘F – – k you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’/ But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”
She goes on to note it was never a “fair fight” or a “clean kill” between the two and describes the unnamed person as “stomping across” her “grave.”
Swift also refers to her mother, Andrea Swift, noting: “Everyone knows that my mother is as a saintly woman / But she used to say she wished that you were dead.”
Here’s what to know about Taylor Swift’s new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’:
- The 14-time Grammy winner released her highly anticipated 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday.
- Swift sent her fans into a frenzy at 2 a.m. after revealing the record is a double album. Titled “The Anthology,” Swift’s late-night surprise includes 15 bonus tracks, bringing the total song count to a whopping 31.
- Swift initially unveiled her 16-song album at midnight, including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence Welch on two tracks. There are also four bonus tracks, “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” “The Albatross,” and “The Black Dog” that are featured on various vinyl versions of the album. The four tracks, as well as 11 new songs, are included in “The Anthology.”
- A poem about heartbreak that serves as a prologue for the album was written by Fleetwood Mac alum Stevie Nicks.
- There are several celeb names peppered throughout the album’s lyrics, the mention of singer Charlie Puth’s name took some Swifties by surprise.
- While some of Swift’s exes aren’t spared on “TTPD,” the singer, 34, does seemingly reference her current beau Travis Kelce on the new album’s track “The Alchemy” in a loving way.
- As for her exes, 1975 frontman Matty Healy is reportedly referenced throughout the 31-song-strong record. In fact, Healy — who, before their summer split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar following her breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn after six years — appears to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Other fans, however, may speculate the “sparkling summer” line is about Alwyn. There are also hints that “I Can Fix Him” (No Really I Can)” — gotta love that title — might be about 35-year-old Healy.
- As for Alwyn, Swift dropped hints at the pair’s ill-fated 6-year romance for a good — or for him, not so good — part of the album. Check out the 10 Alwyn-related references we’ve spotted.

Swift’s feud with Kardashian and Kanye West began years ago when the rapper interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the Video Music Awards in 2009. In 2016, he’d release the song “Famous” and claim that Swift signed off on the lyrics: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that bitch famous.”
Last year, Swift described it as a “bleak” moment and said she fled to “a foreign country” and didn’t leave her rental home for a year.
“I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore,” she revealed for her 2023 Time magazine Person of the Year cover story. “I went down really, really hard.”
