TAYLOR Swift and Kim Kardashian have been feuding since Kardashian’s now ex-husband, Kanye West, referenced the pop star in his hit song, Famous.
Fans on both sides of the iconic celebrity feud have gotten in on the action too, with an unknown artist crafting a mural of Taylor Swift striking a pose akin to Kim Kardashian’s 2014 Paper Magazine cover photo.

Wearing nothing but a pearl choker, earrings, and black gloves, and while holding up a black dress beneath her butt with her back turned towards the camera, Kim smiled coyly for the camera.
Shot by photographer Jean-Paul Goude, Kardashian also posed in other similar photos, including one where she’s popping open a bottle of champagne while the glass rests on her butt.
It was a recreation of Goude’s famous 1976 photo, which featured Dominican model and actress Carolina Beaumont striking the same pose.
The mural similarly shows what appears to be Kim’s body on display, with fuchsia gloves delicately holding up a black, sequined gown.
Palombo made an unusual choice, however, when rather than painting Kim’s face, he chose to paint Taylor Swift’s instead.
The singer is adorned in a similar pearl choker, with her blonde locks and bangs parted in a slight wave to her right side, showing off a small pearl earring.
Taylor Swift fans think singer ‘crossed the line’ after ‘unnecessary & immature’ song about Kim Kardashian on new album
Like the original, the mural shows off Kim’s most famous asset – but this time, the words to Taylor’s new track, thanK you aIMee, are written on her left cheek.
The track is from Taylor’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department.
It’s also rumored to be a jab at Kim Kardashian, starting with the song’s title.
Taylor deliberately capitalized three letters in the title, which spell out Kim’s first name.

The track’s lyrics also reference Taylor and Kim’s ongoing feud, where Taylor likens Kim to a high school bully.
“There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you and a plaque underneath it/That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school.”
All that time you were throwin’ / punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel,” some of the song’s lyrics, were also tweeted by Taylor Nation alongside a Reputation-era gif.
Taylor’s Reputation era signified her “comeback” after initially feuding with Kim and Kanye West.
Taylor’s bitter feud with Kanye and Kim explained
Taylor Swift has been locked in a nasty feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for years.
2009 – Kanye interrupted Taylor’s VMA win for Best Female Video onstage, saying, “I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time”
2010 – Taylor performed Innocent, a song rumored to be about Kanye, at the VMAs, singing, “It’s all right / Just wait and see / Your string of lights is still bright to me / Who you are is not where you’ve been”
2013 – Kanye took back his apology to the singer, insisting, “I do not have one regret”
2015 – The former rivals reunited at the 2015 Grammy Awards and posed together for photos and Taylor later said she “likes him as a person”
2016 – Kanye debuted his song, Famous, with the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous”
2016 – After Taylor insisted she did not approve the lyric, “I made that b***h famous,” Kim released video footage of her phone call with Kanye
2017 – Taylor seemingly referenced their feud in her album, Reputation, teasing the news with videos of a serpent – a nod to the snake emojis posted in her Instagram comments implying she was a liar – and seemed to diss Kanye in her song, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
2018 – Taylor said Kim had not released the full recording and asked, “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that b***h’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that b***’ in front of the entire world”
2019 – Kim insisted in a magazine interview that they had “squashed” their feud
2019 – Taylor claimed Kanye’s Famous music video was “revenge porn” as it featured a fake naked sculpture of her
2020 – The full phone call between Taylor and Kanye was leaked, in which there was no mention of her being called “that b***h”
2020 – Kim initially said the call revealed “nothing new” and later backtracked and tweeted, “the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word ‘b***h’ was used without her permission.
2023 – Taylor said in a TIME interview that the feud with Kim and Kanye felt like a “career death” and “took her down psychologically”
Screamed, “F*ck you Aimee,” to the night sky as the blood was gushin’ / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal,” are another sampling of the pop star’s lyrics.
On Apple Music and Spotify, both “F*ck you Aimee” and “Thank you Aimee,” in the clean version, are capitalized specifically, also spelling out the KKW Beauty star’s name.
Fans also pointed out that Taylor may have referenced Kim’s eldest daughter, North West, in the song too.
“And one day, your kid comes home singin’ a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”

North has previously posted TikTok videos of herself dancing to Taylor’s hit song, Shake It Off.
“Has anyone checked on Kim Kardashian after Taylor Swift just handed her her a** on a silver platter,” a fan asked.
“Not a song about a school bully being called thanK you aIMEE… KIM,” another user wrote.
“This album is SO unhinged,” commented another user.
On June 22, 2024, Taylor performed thanK you aIMee as part of a mashup with her 2010 song, Mean, during her acoustic set in London.
Taylor has previously told media outlets that the track was written in response to her critics, though many fans also took it as a dig at Kanye West, who infamously interrupted the star onstage during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
Fans attending one or both of Italy’s two Eras tour stops are likely in for a treat as they’ll get to witness the mural up close, though they’ll have to stay tuned to hear what surprise songs Taylor chooses to perform those nights.
