In the midst of brewing tensions and speculations, Kim Kardashian West has subtly entered the online discourse surrounding Taylor Swift’s alleged diss track with a strategic Instagram post.
The 43-year-old reality TV star took to her Instagram Stories to share a throwback group photo commemorating Derek Blasberg’s birthday. The snapshot included not just her sister Khloé Kardashian and W Magazine editor-in-chief Sara Moonves, but also Karlie Kloss, Taylor Swift’s rumored on-again, off-again friend.
While the post seemed innocent enough, fans and followers quickly connected the dots, interpreting the photo as a subtle dig at Swift following the release of her song “thanK you aIMee,” which many speculate to be a veiled reference to her ongoing feud with Kim.
Twitter was set ablaze with reactions to the post, with users expressing their astonishment at Kim’s timing. “Kim Kardashian posting Karlie Kloss right now is truly f**king crazy oh my god,” one tweet read. Another user commented, “Kim Kardashian sharing a two-year-old photo of her and Karlie Kloss to her story four days after Taylor Swift dropped a song about her is SOOOOO rich…we are SOOOOOO back [sic].”
Some fans even suggested that Kim’s choice to include Karlie in the photo was a calculated move. “Kim Kardashian is clever.. using Karlie Kloss (Taylor’s ex-lover) to annoy her. Crazy Hollywood [sic],” one tweet speculated.
The history between Taylor Swift, Karlie Kloss, and the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been a subject of public interest for years. Taylor and Karlie’s friendship, which dates back to 2012, was once strong, with the duo frequently photographed together. In 2015, Karlie even appeared in Taylor’s star-studded “Bad Blood” music video.
However, things seemed to cool down between the two in recent years. Yet, Karlie’s attendance at one of Taylor’s Eras Tour concerts in 2023 and her continued friendship with the Kardashian-Jenner family has kept the rumor mill churning.
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian reached a boiling point in 2023 when Taylor accused Kim of illegally recording a phone call between her and Kanye “Ye” West. Taylor spoke candidly about the incident in a TIME magazine interview, describing the psychological toll it took on her.
As fans and followers continue to dissect every move and post, it remains to be seen if this latest Instagram update from Kim will add fuel to the fire or help cool down the heated feud.
