Taylor Swift played ‘thanK you aIMee’ live for the first time at her Eras Tour concert this weekend
Taylor Swift debuted her alleged Kim Kardashian diss track live for the first time on Saturday, and sent a message out to people who ‘talk s**t’ about her.
The UK has been awash with Swift fever this month as the 34-year-old successfully brought her show to Liverpool, Cardiff and London.
After a successful three-night residency at Anfield, the ‘Shake It Off’ singer performed to around 67,000 fans at the Principality Stadium before taking over Wembley for three consecutive evenings.
On her second night in the English capital, Swift made her way downstage and prepared for her acoustic set.
The segment of the Eras Tour is where she performs four or more surprise songs.
At Wembley, this included The Tortured Poets Department’s ‘thanK you aIMee’, widely considered to be a dig at Kim Kardashian, 43.
The fact the capital words spell out ‘KIM’ may be a bit of a giveaway.
For context, Taylor and Kim began feuding when Kim’s husband at the time Kanye West released the track ‘Famous’, which referenced Taylor and included the line: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, why? I made that b***h famous.”
Taylor claimed she never gave her consent for the song, before Kim released an edited version of a phone conversation between Taylor and Kanye, implying she had agreed to the lyric. Taylor released the unedited phone call years later.
Addressing the crowd on Saturday (June 22), the Pennsylvania native said: “I was thinking about getting to play Wembley Stadium. That’s not remotely normal.
“It is so insane for you to [have] done that for me… and my crew because we get to play Wembley Stadium eight times this summer.
“You clearly thought this was a good idea, you wanted this to happen. Blows me away. I’ll spend forever trying to thank you for that.”
The ‘Bad Blood’ hitmaker then addressed how it isn’t just the fans that have propelled her to stardom, but her enemies too.

“On the other hand, it really makes me think about how every time someone talks s**t, it just makes me work even harder and it makes me even tougher,” she explained.
“So, it also makes me incredibly thankful for those people. I’ve never played this one before. Wish me luck.”
After saying her piece, Swift launched into an acoustic version of ‘thanK you alMee’.
The track has been controversial among Swifties, with fans taking to social media to have their say when it was released earlier this year.
“Hol up. Taylor Swift dropped a Kim K diss track and I’m just finding out,” questioned one user.

Another typed: “Smh … Taylor Swift is ALWAYS going to be #1.”
A third said: “Isn’t it about time #TaylorSwift drop the #KimKardashian bashing? Taylor Swift wins every award possible and is worth a billion dollars or something. Isn’t that enough?
“She has every right to express her anger,” commented a fourth
