Kim Kardashian seemingly played into her ongoing feud with Taylor Swift by sharing a throwback photo alongside Karlie Kloss, the singer’s ex-BFF.
The “Kardashians” star posted an old selfie with Kloss while wishing her pal Derek Blasberg a happy birthday on her Instagram Stories Tuesday.
Although Kardashian captioned the photo with a kiss emoji, the not-so-subtle move sent Swifties into a frenzy online.
“Kim Kardashian posting Karlie Kloss right now is truly f—king crazy oh my god,” one fan wrote, as another added, “not kim posting a pic with karlie today that was taken TWO YEARS ago??? i smell drama.”
“the ‘thanK you aIMee’ get together 😭😭 since when are they friends,” a third questioned.
The pointed choice came less than a week after Swift seemingly dissed Kardashian in her new song “thanK you aIMee.”
The record, featured on “The Tortured Poets Department,” quickly went viral after fans noticed the capitalized letters spell out K-I-M.
In the song, Swift sings about being bullied by someone named Aimee, who ultimately made her stronger in the end.
After its release on Friday, Kardashian lost over 100,000 followers — and counting.
The pair’s now-infamous feud began in 2016 when Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West rapped that he “might still have sex” with Swift and “made that bitch famous” in his song “Famous.”
Swift later spoke out saying she wasn’t OK with West calling her a “bitch.” Kardashian rebutted by releasing a phone call of the “Cruel Summer” singer seemingly giving the rapper permission to do so.
In response, social media users branded Swift a “liar” and a “snake.” She went into hiding for a year due to the severe public backlash.
Amid the drama, Kloss — who was besties with Swift at the time — was asked by the Sunday Times if she thought Kardashian was a “good person.”
“I think she’s been a lovely person to me in the past. Look, I really don’t know her that well,” she awkwardly replied. (The following day Kloss said her words were “misconstrued” and that she “always” has Swift’s “back.”)
However, the full phone call was later leaked in 2020, proving the original recording had been edited as Swift originally said.
Since then, the 14-time Grammy winner has subtly shaded Kardashian numerous times in her music and in interviews — even calling the makeup mogul “trash” in her time profile.

Kloss, for her part, was somewhat inseparable from Swift from 2013 until 2017. However, rumblings of a rift seemed to solidify in 2018 after Swift missed both of Kloss’ weddings to Joshua Kushner.
Fans later called into question the model’s close relationship with Scooter Braun, who purchased Swift’s master recordings in 2019 for a whopping $330M.
The “All Too Well” singer called the situation her “worst case scenario” and Kloss only added fuel to the fire by reportedly liking — and swiftly unliking — tweets claiming she had overreacted.
While it’s unclear what led to the one-time BFFs’ alleged fallout, some fans believe Swift was using Kardashian as a “red herring” for Kloss in “thanK you aIMee.”
“its not KIM, thats the red herring. what does aimee rhyme with? karlie,” one fan pointed out on X. “but taylor 100% wanted kim to catch the heat too. she’s mocking kim. ‘yes f—k you too but you’re not important enough for me to write a song, you’re so irrelevant you’re going to catch strays.’”
A second user agreed, writing, “I’m sorry but I’m giving thank you aimee to karlie, because how tf is Kim kardashian responsible for any of Taylor’s success?? But if karlie played a role in the masters heist…yeah that ended up being good for her career in the end.”
