Swift sings in "thanK you aIMee," "There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you and a plaque underneath it / That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school."
"All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' / And I can't forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed 'Fuck you, Aimee' to the night sky, as the blood was gushin' / But I can't forget the way you made me heal."
In a previous discussion, the 14-time Grammy winner shared her experience of the conflict with Kardashian and described how it significantly impacted her mental well-being.

Kardashian vs. Swift Feud Revisited
A conflict arose between Kardashian and Swift when the reality star intervened to support her former husband, Kanye West, who had written explicit lyrics about Swift in his 2016 track "Famous." The rapper's provocative lines in the song insinuated a controversial relationship with Taylor and claimed credit for her success, sparking a heated feud.
At odds over the track, Swift and West found themselves in conflicting positions. West insisted he had held a lengthy discussion with Swift regarding the lyrics, in which she supposedly approved.
Kardashian supported her then-husband by revealing a video recording of West's conversation with Swift. In the clip, he seemed to seek the "Fortnight" singer consent to include the lyrics.
"I know, it's like a compliment, kind of. Yeah, I mean, what's dope about the line is it's very tongue in cheek either way. And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that's really nice," Swift said at the time.
