Fans Think Taylor Swift Shaded Kim and Kanye’s Divorce in ‘Midnights’

These Swifties are fast.

Many Taylor Swift fans think her new song “Vigilante S—t” on her “Midnights” album is about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce.

On the track, the 32-year-old pop star sings that she’s “thick as thieves” with a nemesis’ ex and gives her “hard, cold proof.”

“Now she’s got the house, the kids, the pride / Picture me, thick as thieves with your ex-wife,” she croons. “And she looks so pretty / Driving in your Benz.”

Now Swift’s sidekicks theorize she developed a secret friendship with Kardashian, 42, with whom she was engaged in a heated feud involving West, 45, in 2016.

A fan was excited that Swift and Kardashian would make amends to sue the controversial rapper.

“do taylor and kim team up to get revenge on kanye because oh my god,” the individual wrote.

Another fan applauded Swift for her seemingly sleazy lyricism.

“You can’t tell me this isn’t about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West,” they wrote. “We love, adore and respect a little Taylor Swift.”

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in early 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. She currently lives in the former couple’s mansion in Hidden Hills, Calif., with their four children and drives a Mercedes-Benz Maybach.

Meanwhile, some Swift acolytes believe “Vigilante S—t” is about his other public adversary, Scooter Braun, and his ex-wife, Yael Cohen Braun.

Scooter, 41 – who bought most of Swift’s catalog in a controversial acquisition – settled his divorce from Yael, 35, in September. He admitted that due to his busy work schedule, their three children spend most of their time with Yael.

“Someone reported their white-collar crimes to the FBI,” Swift sings.
