In a notable display during her London performance of the “Eras” tour, Taylor Swift reawakened her long-standing feud with Kim Kardashian. Performing to a full house at the renowned Wembley Stadium, where she is set to play eight times this summer, Swift acknowledged the overwhelming support of her fans. The recent show saw the stadium’s 90,000-seat capacity fully utilized.
Swift, expressing deep gratitude to her audience, stated, “Every time someone talks s**t, it just makes me work even harder and it makes me even tougher. So, it also makes me incredibly thankful for those people.” This remark alluded to past controversies, specifically her well-documented feud with Kardashian and her ex-husband, Kanye West.
Swift then performed a new track, “Thank you alMee,” which her fans, known as Swifties, interpret as a reference to her conflict with Kardashian. This long-standing dispute stems from a 2016 incident involving Kanye West’s song “Famous.” West had claimed that Swift consented to the lyric, “I made that bitch famous,” referencing their infamous interaction at the MTV Video Music Awards. However, Swift disputed this claim, asserting that she was never informed of the derogatory nature of the line.

The controversy escalated when Kim Kardashian released edited recordings of a conversation between Swift and West, suggesting that Swift had approved the lyrics. These edited clips were later debunked by the release of the unedited recording, which confirmed that Swift had not granted such permission. Despite this, Kardashian did not issue an apology and continued to support the edited narrative.
Swift’s recent performance and the debut of her song appear to underscore her resolve not to let past conflicts be forgotten, effectively rekindling the public discourse surrounding the feud.
