The fallout from Taylor Swift’s latest release, “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” has hit Kim Kardashian hard, with the reality star losing more than 100,000 followers on Instagram since the track dropped.
Just last month, Kardashian boasted an impressive 364.3 million followers on the platform. However, since Swift unleashed her diss track, Kardashian’s follower count has plummeted to 363 million and continues to decline.
Swift’s track, part of her “secret double album” release, takes aim at a “bronze, spray-tanned” high school bully, with eagle-eyed fans quick to notice that the title’s capitalization points directly at Kardashian.
The scathing lyrics include lines like, “All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel,” reflecting on the longstanding feud between Swift and Kardashian.

Despite the social media backlash and the significant loss of followers, Kardashian has remained silent on the matter, appearing unfazed while enjoying a meal with friends.
The feud between Kardashian and Swift dates back to 2016 when Kardashian’s then-husband, Kanye West, referred to Swift as “that b*tch” in his song “Famous.” Kardashian claimed that Swift had approved the lyrics, but Swift disputed this, accusing Kardashian of editing and releasing a recorded phone call without her consent.
The fallout led to Kardashian’s fans bombarding Swift with snake emojis and accusations of dishonesty, while Swift used the imagery in her subsequent album “Reputation” as a form of reclamation.
Despite Kardashian’s claims of being “over” the feud, Swift revisited the topic in her Time Person of the Year interview, revealing the psychological toll it took on her.
