It looks like the rivalry between Taylor Swift and Kanye West is still going strong.

On Thursday, Swift released a newly titled version of her diss track "thanK you aIMee" — originally spelled with "Kim" in all caps — on a new digital edition of her album "The Tortured Poets Department" available on her website. This updated version seems to target the SKIMS founder's former husband.

The song is now named "thank You aimEe," with a capital "Y" and "E," which appears to reference Kanye West, who now goes by Ye. This new version is a live rendition from Swift's Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium in July, where she performed a mashup of this track with “Mean” from her "Speak Now" album.

The updated album is set to release at 11:59 pm ET, according to her website.

Swift's move follows Ye's recent album, "Vultures 2," where he mentioned her in his song "Lifestyle (Demo)" with the line, “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.” Although Swift hasn't publicly commented on the lyric, her recent achievements speak volumes.

This week, Swift broke West’s record for having 11 consecutive albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, as her latest album topped the chart for the 14th time. Her album "TTPD" racked up 142,000 equivalent album units, compared to West’s album, which garnered 107,000 units in its debut week.

The ongoing feud between Swift and Ye began at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video to declare that Beyoncé deserved the award. Although they appeared to reconcile afterward, the feud reignited in 2016 when West referenced Swift in his song “Famous.” Shortly after, Kardashian, then West’s wife, released an edited video suggesting Swift had approved the lyrics. Swift later dismissed the video in a 2023 TIME interview, calling it a “fully manufactured frame job.”
