Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian would be 'cordial' if they ran into each other

A decade after Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian’s very public feud, the pop superstar has reportedly “moved on” and would be “cordial” during a run-in with the reality star, who fans speculate she dedicated an entire diss track to just two years ago.

An insider told Us Weekly that the Grammy winner, 36, and 45-year-old SKIMS co-founder “don’t have a relationship” and “have both moved on” from the summer 2016 drama.

“It’s not this active, lingering drama anymore, but they’re not in touch or anything like that. If they saw each other in passing, they would be cordial,” said the source.

It’s an interesting way to frame Swift’s mindset, given that it was just over two years back in April 2024 when she released the song, “thanK you aIMee,” from her album, “The Tortured Poets Department” album. In the song, Swift sings about being unable to “forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed, ‘F–k you, Aimee’ to the night sky,” but ultimately credits her own “legacy” to the song’s muse.

The track is full of apparent Easter eggs nodding to Kardashian— whose first name is spelled out with the capitalized letters of the title — and the eldest two kids she shares with ex-husband Ye (formerly Kanye West).

Swift and Ye, 48, had been at odds since he interrupted her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

 

They eventually made amends, only for Ye’s “Famous” to put them back at square one in June 2016. In the track — the controversial music video for which includes naked sculptures of Swift and other famous faces — he raps, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b—h famous.”

The following month, Kardashian posted snake emojis along with excerpts from a call between the musicians, in which Swift approved the lyric, though she would maintain she never knew she’d be called a “b—h.” The source told Us that it all “spiraled way more than she expected,” though Kardashian “doesn’t necessarily regret inserting herself.”

Swift’s accounting of the ordeal was confirmed with the 2020 leaking of the full call, which went on for about a half-hour. By that point though, she’d effectively become a recluse in the run-up to her hit 2017 album, “Reputation,” with which she reclaimed both the scandal — and snakes.
