Kim Kardashian addresses online rumors in first interview since Taylor Swift’s ‘TTPD’ diss track
“Life is good” for Kim Kardashian — despite Taylor Swift’s scathing diss track “thanK you aIMee,” which was released last week.
The “Kardashians” star, 43, appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday, and made no comments about the song that Swifties believe is about her.
Swift’s new song is from her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The lyrics could be a reference to Kardashian — and the capitalization of the tune’s title, “thanK you aIMee,” even spells out “Kim.”
Instead of discussing their yearslong feud, Kardashian opened up about her brand’s Ultimate Nipple Push-Up Bra and growing up in Madonna’s neighborhood.
The pair live close to each other today, too, and even ran into each other trick-or-treating on Halloween.
Kimmel then asked Kardashian a round of online rumors.
“You sleep with your eyes slightly open?” Kimmel asked.
“I do!” she confirmed. “There’s footage because my sisters have taken videos and pictures.”
Additionally, Kardashian revealed she hates the sound and feeling of cardboard, she blow-dries jewelry before putting it on, and washes her feet before bed.
“How are you and Donald Trump now? I think on the outs, right?” Kimmel went on.
“Listen, I don’t think he likes me very much. But I’m OK. I think he did amazing stuff with prisoner reform … so that’s what I’ll focus on.”
Some viewers were annoyed that Kimmel “missed [an] opportunity” to ask Kardashian about Swift, while others questioned if Kardashian’s p.r. team requested that she not be asked about the musician.
Although Swift’s surprise double album appeared to be all about exes Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and John Mayer, she seemingly compared Kardashian to a high school bully on “thanK you aIMee.”
There’s a “bronze spray-tanned statue” of “Aimee” with a “plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs at our school,” she sings as she describes her hometown.
“All that time you were throwin’ 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 gushin’/ But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”
She goes on to note it was never a “fair fight” or a “clean kill” between the two and describes the unnamed person as “stomping across” her “grave.”
Swift also refers to her mother, Andrea Swift, noting: “Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman / But she used to say she wished that you were dead.”
Swift’s feud with Kardashian and Kanye West began years ago when the rapper interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009. In 2016, he released the song “Famous” and claimed that Swift signed off on the lyrics: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that bitch famous.”
Last year, Swift described it as a “bleak” moment and said she fled to “a foreign country” and didn’t leave her rental home for a year.
“I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore,” she revealed in her 2023 Time magazine Person of the Year cover story. “I went down really, really hard.”
