She sure knows how to write a song to MAXIMUM effect!😳🤩😳😍 #taylorswift #torturedpoetsdepartment #kim

The Swiftie sleuths are working overtime in ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ analyzing clues from Taylor Swift’s newly-released surprise double album. 👀 Fans think one song in particular is about #kimkardashian Kardashian, zeroing in on ‘thanK you aIMee’ due to the obvious capitalization in the title spelling “KIM.” The song itself is rooted in the story of a hometown bully “throwin’ punches” at the narrator. As she copes with “searing pain” from the attacks, she ultimately finds that it’s made her stronger in the end. Get the full lyric breakdown at ET’s link in bio. (📸: Getty Images)
