Taylor Swift has retitled a song from her most recent album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘ to seemingly take aim at Kanye West.The original version of the song, ‘thanK you aiMee’ appeared on Swift’s 11th studio LP back in April. ‘thanK you aIMee’ left fans believing that the song was aimed at the reality TV star who has had a history with the pop singer.The letters capitalised in the title spell out ‘Kim’, connecting the song to the Kardashian. ‘thanK you aIMee’ also sees Swift discussing a story of a feud between the singer and someone named Aimee from her hometown who was a bully and ended up being celebrated.Now, in the new live version of the song, Swift has changed the name to ‘thank You aimEe,’ capitalising ‘YE’ in a seeming nod to her feud with West.

While the song keeps its original song on streaming, on her webstore the song with the new name can be found.The song was performed at her June 22 ‘Eras Tour’ in London and was mashed up with ‘Mean’ from ‘Speak Now’.While performing the track in London in June, Swift also explained its significance: “It really makes me think about how every time someone talks shit, it just makes me work even harder, and it makes me even tougher…So, it also makes me incredibly thankful for those people.”Taylor Swift’s updates “thanK you aIMee” in new ‘TTPD’ digital release to capitalize YE.Swift recently blocked the rapper from #1 on Billboard 200, ending his 11 album streak debuting at top of chart.
