“INCREDIBLE NUMBER MORE THAN 120 THOUSAND”Kim Kardashian loses A LOT of followers after Taylor Swift protests as fans call Kris Jenner SOS-HO
Kim Kardashian has lost a staggering 120,000 and counting social media followers in the few days since Taylor Swift released her scathing revenge song, “thanK you aIMee,” which is said to be a diss track aimed at the reality star.
Kardashian, 43, has faced backlash since Swift released the song on Friday, April 19, which includes lyrics like, “Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman / But she used to say she wished that you were dead.”
It seems like Taylor Swift’s fans are certainly reading into the song’s title! Swift has a history of incorporating hidden messages in her lyrics and song titles, so it’s understandable why Swifties might be speculating about the meaning behind “thanK you aIMee.”
The power of Swift’s fan base is quite something! It’s not uncommon for celebrities to face repercussions on social media after being criticized by influential figures like Swift or facing backlash for controversial actions or statements.
And as she is yet to address the uproar, her fans have called for her Svengali “momager,” Kris Jenner, to step in and help mitigate the crisis.
Jenner is known for her ability to turn challenges into opportunities, and she’s done so successfully with the Kardashian family’s experiences in the past. From Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape to other controversies, Jenner has shown a knack for capitalizing on these moments to further her family’s careers and business ventures. Given her track record, fans are eagerly anticipating how she’ll handle the current situation and what new opportunities she’ll create from it.

Fans are speculating about Kris Jenner’s potential involvement in managing the fallout from the Taylor Swift drama. They’re eager to see how she might leverage the situation for the family’s benefit, whether it’s through new business ventures or strategic moves to navigate the controversy. Some fans are even jokingly imagining Jenner’s reaction behind the scenes, envisioning her providing guidance and support to Kim Kardashian amid the scrutiny.
A fourth insisted: “You Swifties think that Taylor won? She just solidified Kim as a legend by dedicating a whole song to her. *awaits Kris jenner making merch out of this or including it in kardashian’s new season.”

Swift had been expected to slam her exes on her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, yet Kardashian received the biggest blow.
In “thanK you aIMee,” Taylor Swift dives deep into her memories, painting a vivid picture of her hometown, likely Los Angeles. She vividly describes a bronze spray-tanned statue of “Aimee,” a symbolic representation of her teenage bully. The plaque underneath the statue evokes the threat of violence, reflecting the fear and intimidation Swift experienced during her school days. This imagery sets the tone for the song, capturing the emotional weight of past traumas and the lasting impact they leave on an individual’s psyche.
In “thanK you aIMee,” Taylor Swift confronts her past trauma head-on, explicitly identifying “Aimee” as her teenage-style bully. The lyrics vividly express the pain and anguish she endured while facing Aimee’s torment, juxtaposed with her own resilience and inner strength to overcome adversity. Despite the scars left by Aimee’s actions, Swift acknowledges the unexpected role her nemesis played in her healing process. This complex emotional journey underscores the song’s themes of resilience, forgiveness, and empowerment.
Swift also says it was never a “fair fight” between the pair, or a “clean kill.” She alludes to Kardashian “stomping across” her “grave” and writing headlines “laughing at each baby step I’d take.”
The feud between Swift and Kardashian has a long history, spanning over a decade. It originated in 2009 when Kanye West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, asserting that Beyoncé deserved the award instead. In 2016, tensions escalated when Swift criticized West for including derogatory lyrics about her in one of his songs. Kardashian intervened by releasing a recorded phone conversation between Swift and West, stirring further controversy and animosity between the two celebrities.
Kardashian also posted a bunch of snakes for “National Snake Day” to shame Swift. The singer hit back with her 2017 album, Reputation, opening up about the feud in an essay with Elle two years later.
“It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it,” she wrote for the publication in 2019.
