Swifties all over have been sent into a right old frenzy ever since Taylor Swift released her eagerly-awaited latest album, The Tortured Poets Department last week (19 April).
On the anthology version of the album, there's a song titled 'thanK you aIMee' and it seems the three capitalised letters, 'KIM', are leading many fans to come to their own conclusions on who it's actually about - none other than Kim Kardashian.
And now, in the latest update of the Taylor and Kim saga, fans reckon The Kardashians star has dragged model, Karlie Kloss, into the alleged feud after posting a 'fake' picture.

So, for some context, 'thanK you aIMee' is all about a fictional bully named 'Aimee' and people are wondering why Taylor made a point to capitalise the letters 'KIM' in the song title - especially given their previous public feud.
Rewind to 2016, and Kim's ex-husband, Kanye West, released a song called 'Famous' which took a very direct jab at Taylor.
Kim, 43, later came out to claim that she'd agreed to it and even released audio of a phone call where she gave it the all-clear.
Fast-forward nearly a decade and fans reckon Taylor hasn't forgotten as the 34-year-old 'Cruel Summer' hit-maker sings in the chorus: "All that time you were throwing 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 gushing / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal."
In the second verse, she continues: "And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill / Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе / And then she wrote hеadlines / In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take."
Another lyric reads: "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," which some people believe is about Kim's daughter, North West, posting a TikTok dancing to a Taylor Swift song.
And now, just earlier this week, Kim took to Instagram to share with her 363 million followers a birthday message to her friend, Derek Blasberg.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that the reality TV personality's snaps of the pair included a throwback pic from 2022 which included Taylor's ex-best friend Karlie, 31, as well as Kim's sister, Khloe Kardashian.
Speculation about Taylor and Karlie's friendship ended first went into overdrive way back when in 2017, when the model was not present at the pop icon's famous 4th of July party.
Now, Swifties are totally convinced Kim's post was a sneaky jab at Taylor in response to the alleged 'diss track'.
One X, formerly Twitter, user penned: "Not Kim posting a pic with Karlie today that was taken TWO YEARS ago??? I smell drama."
A second quipped: "Kim Kardashian posting Karlie Kloss right now is truly fucking crazy oh my god."
Others, however, called for an end to all the 'drama'.
"Stop falling for the pictures. It’s bait. You’re being baited to engage in the finger-pointing, drama-fest," hit out one Twitter user.
They continued: "That song is not about Kim. That song is not about Karlie. The fact that you are so easily swayed by a simple IG post IS the point. YOU are Aimee. WE are Aimee."
