Bianca Censori reacts as Taylor Swift reignites Kim Kardashian feud with brutal diss track
Taylor Swift released her new album The Tortured Poets Department last Friday, and one track, titled thanK you aIMee, is seemingly about her long-running feud with Kim Kardashian
Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori is said to be “amused” by Taylor Swift’s new Kim Kardashian diss track.
Last Friday, Taylor released her long-awaited new album, The Tortured Poets Department, and surprised fans as she revealed it was in fact a double album, leaving Swifties delirious over the prospect of 31 new songs from the pop icon. However, one track in particular, thanK you aIMee, is seemingly about the 34-year-old’s long-running feud with the Skims founder. The song, which is 24th on the double album, titled The Anthology, has the letters K, I and M in capital letters, spelling out the name of her foe – KIM.
Days after the album was released to huge fanfare from fans and critics alike, Bianca – who wed Kanye just weeks after his divorce from Kim was finalised in December 2022 – has given her thoughts on the diss track.
According to an insider, the 29-year-old “finds it all very amusing,” and told Life & Style: “I’ve heard she likes Taylor’s music and think it’s all fair play.” Some fans speculated that Kanye could retaliate by sharing his thoughts on the song, as well as Cassandra, which references the infamous leaked phone call between the rapper and Taylor, which sparked Kim’s bitter rivalry with the singer.
“Taylor wouldn’t have written a diss track aimed at Kim if she wasn’t prepared for some sort of backlash,” the insider explained. “But Taylor won’t be retaliating, the song speaks for itself. She clearly doesn’t care.”
The feud between Kanye and Taylor began in 2009, when he famously interrupted her acceptance speech when she won Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. The Cruel Summer hitmaker reflected on the embarrassing moment in an interview, as she said the rapper had taken away her joy. “I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage, then I wasn’t so excited anymore,” she quipped.
The beef between the two took a turn in 2016, when Kanye featured Taylor in his track Famous. “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b***h famous/I made that b***h famous,” he rapped. It later emerged that before the song was released, Kanye called Taylor to seek permission to feature her in the song, but the Grammy-winning singer did not know Kim was recording.
In a statement after the track was released, Taylor insisted she didn’t approve him calling her a b***h, with Kim launching into a vicious tirade against the pop icon, calling her a snake and telling GQ: “She totally approved that; she wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t.” However, taylor was vindicated in 2020 when the entire conversation was leaked, proving she had given Kanye permission to feature her name in the track, but did not know anything about his plan to call her a “b***h”.
Taylor spoke about the ongoing feud in an interview with Time magazine last year, as she admitted she fled the US and was pushing people away as she dealt with the fallout. “That took me down psychologically to a place 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 get on phone calls,” she explained.
