Kim Kardashian has seen a drop of over 100k followers after Taylor Swift’s TTPD diss track, proving the singer’s influence on her fans is stronger than ever. The follower count of Kardashian, sibling of Kylie Jenner, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, decreased significantly with her posts being ridden with comments from Taylor Swift fans, popularly referred to as ‘Swifties’, slamming her publicly.
One of the leading Kardashian sisters, Kim, who was earlier boasting a whopping 364.3 million followers on Instagram, lost a chunk of follower, after iconic American singer Taylor Swift dropped a diss track from her album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
Taylor recently dropped her 11th studio album and one song, ‘thanK you aIMee’, has sparked interest among fans due to its capitalised letters spelling out ‘KIM’. The lyrics appear to take a swipe at Kim, reigniting their 2016 feud which began when Kim released an edited audio clip of a conversation between Taylor and Kanye West.
Taylor later clarified that the call was taken out of context, a fact that came to light in 2020 when the full, unedited call was leaked. In 2023, Swift was named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year and spoke about how the scandal with Kim and Kanye had impacted her.
Fans are of the opinion that the song ‘Thank you Almee’ from the TTPD album, is related to Swift’s feud with Kim Kardashian and the songs lyrics somewhat resemble Kardashian’s characteristics, according to a Page Six report. Along with the follower count dropping for Kardashian, which is still decreasing from the 100k mark, Swifties are posting a similar pattern of comments on Kim’s posts that read, “Thank you alMee”, that is the title of the song from the TTPD album.
