Taylor Swift dropped her highly-anticipated “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday and at 2 a.m. the star surprised fans by dropping an additional 15 tracks, calling it a “double album.”

Fans furiously began dissecting the lyrics of the songs, trying to discern who they were about. Many speculate that at least one song is about her rival Kim Kardashian, Media Take Out has learned.
Her song thanK you AIMee, is clearly about Kim Kardashian. Notice how the letters “K” “I” and “M” are all in capital letters.
Here’s the lyrics:
The lyrics appear to be about a mean girl at school, but fans honed in on several lines in particular.
“I don’t think you’ve changed much/ And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues,” Swift sings on the track. “And one day, your kid comes home singin’/ A song that only us two is gonna know is about you.”
Fans pointed out Kardashian’s oldest daughter North West has posted TikToks about Swift.
Swifties also looked at the lyrics to the 27th song, “Cassandra,” and found possible references to the billionaire owner of Skims, who once referred to Swift with the snake emoji — which later became a defining symbol of the singer’s “Reputation” era.

“So they killed Cassandra first ‘cause she feared the worst/ And tried to tell the town,” Swift sings on “Cassandra.” “So they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say/ Do you believe me now?”
Another part of the song references “the call,” which could be a nod to the phone call Kardashian recorded between her then-husband Kanye West and Swift in 2016.
“I was in my new house placing daydreams/ Patching up the crack along the wall,” Swift sings on “Cassandra.” “I pass it and lose track of what I’m saying/ ‘Cause that’s where I was when I got the call.”
Kardashian released a clip of the recording of their phone call shortly after West released his song “Famous,” which included a line where he posited he was the reason for Swift’s fame. That likely references their run-in at the 2009 VMAs, where he interrupted her acceptance speech for best female video.
