Kim Kardashian has indicated her willingness to end the longstanding feud with Taylor Swift, especially after the release of Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ which contains a track seemingly directed at Kardashian. A source close to Kardashian revealed to People magazine that she is ready to move past the drama and hopes Swift will do the same.
“Kim Kardashian wants Taylor Swift to ‘move on’ from their years-old feud after the singer dropped an apparent diss track about the Skims founder,” the insider said. Kardashian reportedly doesn’t understand why Swift continues to dwell on the feud, especially given the passage of time.
Swift’s surprise album release, particularly the song ‘thanK you aIMee,’ has reignited speculation about her feud with Kardashian. In the track, Swift addresses dealing with a bully who only made her stronger, with some fans noting the clever use of capital letters spelling out Kardashian’s name.
The feud reportedly began in 2016 when Kanye West, Kardashian’s former husband, referenced Swift in his song ‘Famous,’ leading to a public dispute between Swift and the Kardashian-West camp. Despite attempts to clarify the situation, including the release of an edited phone call by Kardashian, the feud persisted, taking a toll on Swift’s mental health.
In an interview with People magazine, Swift opened up about the ordeal, describing the impact as psychologically devastating. She highlighted the public backlash and breach of trust caused by the leaked phone call, likening it to a “career death.”
Despite Kardashian’s reported desire for closure, she recently sparked controversy by sharing a photo with Swift’s former friend, Karlie Kloss, on social media. The move, seen by many as a subtle dig, raised eyebrows among fans given the history between Swift and Kloss.
While Kardashian appears to be seeking reconciliation, it remains to be seen whether Swift will heed her call to “move on” or if the drama will persist.
