Taylor Swift just quietly edited the song title of “thanK you aIMee” to “thank You aimEe” for the release of the live version she performed in London in June — and the subtle difference is speaking volumes for Swifties.

Days after the 14-time Grammy winner’s The Tortured Poets Department secured its 14th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart — preventing Ye (a.k.a. Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s joint album Vultures 2 from reaching the top spot — Swift seemingly took a jab at the Chicago rapper.

Swift, 34, released the live mashup of “thank You aimEe” and “Mean,” which she blended together at her June 22 Eras Tour show, on Thursday, Aug. 15. The original title’s capital letters were stylized to spell out KIM, with the song about a bully speculated to be Kim Kardashian.

Now, the capital letters in the title — “thank You aimEe” — spell out YE, seemingly marking the latest development in their years-long feud.

A Complete Timeline of Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s Feud

Taylor Swift edited the song title of ‘thanK you aIMee’ to ‘thank You aimEe’ for the live version.

In the Tortured Poets song, Swift sings: “All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed ‘F— you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushing / But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”

Aside from Ye interrupting Swift’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech, the rapper also included these lyrics in his 2016 song “Famous”: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b—- famous.” He then claimed she approved the lyrics. However, Swift’s representative denied that she had been made aware of the lyrics, “I made that b—- famous.” Kardashian supported Ye throughout that feud.

While Swift has never acknowledged who “thanK you aIMee” (or “thank You aimEe”) is about, listeners quickly pointed to the “KIM” being Kardashian and now the “YE” being her ex-husband.

“We love a shady queen.” one person said on X (formerly Twitter), while another wrote, ”Taylor changing the letters in thank you aimee from ‘Kim’ to ‘Ye’ is a VERY rep coded thing for her to do🐍.”

The song title change comes as Swifties are impatiently awaiting the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), which is the re-recorded version of her 2017 album that came out after the feud with the then-couple.
