Kim Kardashian’s Instagram followers took a hit after Taylor Swift dropped her latest track “thanK you aIMee.” The reality star lost over 500,000 followers since the song’s release on Friday, with many fans referencing the track in comments on her posts.
Before the release of Taylor’s album, Kim boasted a massive following of 364.3 million on Instagram. However, after the song came out, her follower count unexpectedly dropped to 363.8 million. Comments on her recent vacation post with sisters Kourtney and Khloe are flooded with mentions of Taylor’s new song.
The feud between Kim, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift dates back to 2009 when Kanye famously interrupted Taylor’s VMAs acceptance speech. The drama escalated in 2016 when Kanye referenced Taylor in his song “Famous,” leading to a public dispute between the three celebrities.
Kim defended Kanye on her reality show and shared clips of a phone call between Kanye and Taylor to prove that she approved the song. However, a leaked video later revealed that Taylor was not fully informed about the lyrics. Taylor addressed the incident in her 2017 album “Reputation.”
Meanwhile, Taylor’s latest album features 31 tracks with mentions of various celebrities and artists, including Charlie Puth, Matty Healy, Joe Alwyn, Clara Bow, Stevie Nicks, and Patti Smith. Fans are buzzing about the new music, which has sparked renewed interest in the ongoing feud between Kim, Kanye, and Taylor.
