Surprise! The Tortured Poets Department is a double alum and there are over 30 new Taylor Swift songs for us to spend the day making our entire personality. 😅 Including “thanK you aIMee,” which everyone is convinced is about Kim Kardashian.
Psst...
I mean, first of all, there’s the fact that K, I, and M are capitalized in the title which obviously spells Kim. And then there are the lyrics (via Genius). Ahem, we have:
When I picture my hometown
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
I mean...okay! But let’s take a look at verse two, ’cause wow:
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
Also, um:
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
But she used to say she wished that you were dead
I pushed each boulder up the hill
Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head
And on the bridge, Tay even meta-references the fake name she’s using:
And maybe you’ve reframed it
And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue
I don’t think you’ve changed much
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
Welp. Here’s Twitter spiraling!
