Taylor Swift knows better than most that the haters will hate, hate, hate – and she said Smack Talk motivates her to “work even harder” just before the live debut of her apparent Kim Kardashian Diss track: “Thank you, AIMee.”
Swift, 34, explained how she turned snide remarks and derogatory comments into oil and gas during her second night at London’s Wembley Stadium. Epoch Tour on Saturday, June 22. The “Anti-Hero” singer was introducing the acoustic portion of her set when she was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the eight shows in the 90,000-capacity stadium.
“I’ve been thinking about playing at Wembley. That’s not normal at all (and) it’s so crazy that you did that for me… and for my team because we get to play at Wembley eight times this summer,” she told the crowd. “You obviously thought that was a good idea (and) you wanted that to happen. That blows my mind. I’ll be trying to thank you for that forever.”
She continued, “On the other hand, it really makes me think about how every time someone talks shit, I work even harder and get even tougher. So I’m incredibly grateful to those people too.”
Swift underlined this by performing “thanK you aIMee,” a song that is presumably about her long-standing feud with Kardashian. The two stars had a falling out over Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West‘s song “Famous.” Swift refuted the song’s claim that Kanye was responsible for Swift’s fame.
Kardashian shared a selectively edited phone conversation between Swift and West in which she appeared to be seen signing off on the song, but Swift insisted that the offensive line calling her “that bitch” was not in the version she heard. Eventually, a longer version of the conversation was released that seemed to confirm Swift’s version of events.
“They have a completely fabricated lie in the form of an illegally recorded phone call that Kim Kardashian edited and then released to tell everyone that I’m a liar,” Swift said. Time“It took me to a point psychologically that I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to answer phone calls. I pushed most people in my life away because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I sank really, really low.”
A source told exclusively We weekly in April that “aIMee” was Swift’s “final word” on the matter.
“Taylor has moved on and is not looking back,” the insider said.
