Recently, Taylor Swift caused a stir when she continued to release 2 more digital versions for the album The Tortured Poets Department . Notably, the female singer surprised the public when she quietly changed the name of the song thanK you aIMee to thank You aimEe .
In the original version of the song thanK you aIMee , the capitalized letters of the title when combined would be KIM, people speculated that this song was a mockery of Kim Kardashian from Taylor Swift. Until recently, when editing the title of the song to thank You aimEe , the capitalized YE was thought to be the female singer’s reference to her “enemy” for many years, Kanye West.
The actions of the singer born in 1989 made people excited, showing Taylor Swift’s ability to “tease” with music. Although the female singer has never admitted that thanK you aIMee or recently thank You aimEe is referring to anyone, but when combining the capitalized letters together, everyone understands the character the female singer wants to target.
A few days ago, Taylor Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department spent its 14th non-consecutive week at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. This left Kanye West’s new album Vultures 2 “sadly” debuting at number 2 on the chart.
Surely Kanye West will not feel very happy when Vultures 2 is behind Taylor Swift’s album, and at the same time, the rapper’s old “enemy” also cut off his streak of 11 consecutive No.1 albums on the Billboard 200 throughout his career.
Kanye West has had 11 albums debut at the top of the Billboard 200, including: Late Registration (2005), Graduation (2007), 808s & Heartbreak (2008), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), Watch the Throne (2011), Yeezus (2013), The Life of Pablo (2016), Ye (2018), Jesus Is King (2019), Donda (2021), Vultures 1 (2024). Unfortunately, he was unable to continue this glorious streak with a new album called Vultures 2 .
On online forums, the news that Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department broke Kanye West’s Billboard 200 #1 streak made people quite… happy. Some even left comments “teasing” the rapper: “You took my microphone back then, now I took your No.1!”
