The song 'thanK you aIMee' features lyrics about a "bronze, spray-tanned" antagonist whom her mother "wish(es) were dead", which listeners have speculated is a jab at Kim Kardashian, 43, especially given the capital letters in the title hinting at the star's name.
The feud between Taylor and Kim was ignited by Kim's former spouse Kanye West, 47, after his controversial lyrics in 'Famous' suggested he might sleep with Taylor and claimed credit for her fame.
Following criticism over the lyrics, Kim defended her husband Kanye, stating that he followed "proper protocol" to get "approval" from Taylor prior to releasing the song. She then dropped snippets of a phone conversation between the two on Snapchat.
Stars were out in force at Taylor's recent concert - with high-profile figures including Tom Cruise, Greta Gerwig and Mila Kunis among the attendance alongside Prince William and her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce.
