At her recent London concert, part of the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift took a not-so-subtle swipe at Kim Kardashian. 

Performing at the iconic Wembley Stadium, Swift, 34, integrated a pointed mashup of her songs "thanK you aIMee" and "Mean," which fans speculate directly references her ongoing feud with Kardashian.

The title of "thanK you aIMee" cleverly includes capitalized letters spelling out "Kim," suggesting the song from her latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, is about her. 

Before launching into the mashup in front of an 80,000-strong crowd, Swift made a stirring remark, “Every time someone talks sh**, it makes me work even harder," a statement that garnered significant cheers.

The performance did not go unnoticed on social media, where it quickly became a hot topic.

Fans posted reactions like, "Kim Kardashian was found crying," and "Yo somebody check on @KimKardashian because there was a murder in London tonight!!!!" 

Others praised Swift for her bold combination of "that and Mean as a combo and that’s why we love her," with some even suggesting Swift subtly flipped off Kardashian during her bow.

This dramatic scene is part of a feud that escalated after a 2016 incident where Kardashian's then-husband, Kanye West, recorded and released a phone call that led Swift to describe the fallout as feeling like "a career death" in a Time Magazine interview.

The feud's origins trace back to the 2009 VMAs when West infamously interrupted Swift's acceptance speech. 

It later intensified with West's "Famous" music video, which included a controversial lyric about Swift that she claimed was misrepresented to her prior to the release, despite Kardashian's assertions to the contrary.
