Taylor Swift and Kanye West have been feuding for years, but it looks like she’s taken aim at him again!
Her The Tortured Poets Department song “thanK you aIMee” is rumored to be about Kanye’s ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian, but Taylor just released a live mashup of “thank You aimEe” and “Mean” in London last month.
The original title was capitalized as KIM, but the new title is YE, which is Kanye’s legal name as of 2021.
The release comes after news broke that Taylor’s “TTPD” had blocked Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign’s joint album, “Vultures 2,” from the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
“TTPD” tops the charts for 14 consecutive weeks!
Kanye recently name-dropped Taylor and her boyfriend, Travis Kelcy, in his new song, “Lifestyle.”

“At the end I twist that Taylor spliff tight like Travis Kelce,” he raps.
In response to the song, Travis’ father, Ed Kelsey, said: Facebook“Mental illness was apparent.”
Ed further explained his comments, writing, “I feel the need to clarify that my comments regarding Kanye West were more my thoughts on his mental state than a criticism. His actions and comments outside of Taylor are indicative of paranoia and inflated ego. While it is easy to attribute his behavior to drug use, there is no shortage of clean, sober people throughout history who exhibit the same traits. He is a talented individual and I hope he is getting help for these issues.”
The feud between Taylor and Kanye began in 2009 when Kanye interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs.
Though the moment passed, the two became enemies after he included lyrics about her in the song “Famous.”
He raps, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/How? I made that bitch famous.”
Kanye claimed that Taylor approved the lyrics, which she denied.
