Kim Kardashian may have subtly shaded Taylor Swift by sharing a selfie with the pop star’s ex-pal Karlie Kloss, after getting dissed on The Tortured Poets Department.
While she opted to remain mum about seemingly inspiring two tracks on the 34-year-old singer’s 11th album, the reality star, 43, opted to stir the pot by sharing a throwback with the model, 31, to wish their mutual friend Derek Blasberg a happy birthday.
In the snap, the mother-of-two, who was nearly inseparable from Swift during their six-years until they began to drift apart in 2019, can be seen smilin alongside Blasberg, Kim and her younger sister, Khloé Kardashian.
‘This is Kim’s attempt to fuel the fire that the song is referring to Karlie instead of her,’ one X user speculated.
A Swiftie admitted that ‘Karlie Kloss does nothing but disappoint’ her ‘every ᴛι̇ɱe.’
Others expressed shock over seeing the Kode With Klossy founder hanging out with Kim, who began feuding in 2016 over Kanye West’s Famous lyrics.
‘Karlie Kloss and Kim Kardashian uniting against Taylor Swift in 2024 was definitely not in my bingo card for this year yet here we are,’ a perplexed X user admitted.
Kardashian post comes after failing to address the not-so-subtle diss tracks about her on The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD).
While appearing on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the reality star, 43, left fans of the pop star, 34, furious as she dodged any mention of Swift’s song, thanK you aIMee, which cleverly spells out her name KIM in all capitalized letters in its title, or Cassandra, a melancholy track that seemingly alludes to their longstanding feud.
In response to the interview, viewers questioned why host, Jimmy Kimmel, did not even attempt to ask about the diss tracks.

Another wrote: ‘Kim Kardashian sharing a two-year-old photo of her and Karlie Kloss to her story four days after Taylor Swift dropped a song about her is SOOOOO rich…we are SOOOOOO back’
‘Why not ask her about the Taylor Swift song that North will be singing!’ one asked, referencing the lyrics in thanK you aIMee, in which the Grammy winner sings about a mean girl whose bullying made her stronger.
Another wrote: ‘Jimmy, I’m 100 percent sure you weren’t allowed to speak or ask questions about Taylor or TTPD but you could have least “slipped up” a couple of ᴛι̇ɱes and called her aIMee.’
‘If cringe was an interview,’ a third reacted under a post from Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s official Instagram account.
One Kardashian fan defended her appearance as she promoted her series, American Horror Story: Delicate, with one X user quipping that it was really Swift who was ‘pretty much beefing with herself at this point.’
Still, others tweeted that Kimmel was ‘so messy’ for inviting the mother-of-four on his show to set the record straight on some online rumors about her, but not ask about the alleged diss tracks.

Kimmel mentioned Taylor’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, and her feud with Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West, 46, but did not bring the topic up with Kim directly.
The two songs – that ɱaпy believe Swift wrote about Kardashian – were part of the surprise ‘double album’ version of TTPD, marking the latest broadside in the pop star’s explosive long-running feud with the SKIMS founder and her ex-husband Kanye West.
After Kim’s Instagram comment section was trolled, her 363million following took a substantial hit – dropping by 120,000.
‘When I picture my hometown, 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,’ Taylor sings at the beginning of the acid-tongued song, with fans convinced that the person she is actually singing about is Kim.
