The long-running feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West, which once focused mainly on the rapper and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, has taken a dramatic turn. The Cruel Summer singer has turned her focus directly on Ye with the surprise live release of her song ‘Thank You Amy’, now retitled ‘Thank You Amy’ with a capital ‘Y’ and ‘E’.
Fans are speculating that the change to the original title is a direct response to West’s recent mentions of Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, in his new music.

When Kanye West name-checked Taylor and Travis in Vultures 2
A few weeks ago, the Yeezy rapper finally released his long-delayed Vulture 2 album. In it, Lil Wayne took a dig at Kanye’s track Lifestyle (Demo) with the line, “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight on the end like Travis Kelce.” Fans immediately knew a storm was brewing. While Taylor remained quiet, her latest move says it all, and revenge couldn’t be sweeter.
Fans react to renamed Thank You Aimi track
“This is being done right after her album was blocked from number one… Taylor Swift you are a legend,” one user quipped after Kanye’s new track failed to dislodge the pop star from number one. “”DON’T CAPITAL LETTER CHANGE!!!! TAYLOR NATION YOU ARE SO DIRTY AND I LOVE IT!!!!”” another wrote. “”Be careful if you mention Kelsea anywhere she won’t let it go,”” another added. “Kelsea are you so excited right now? Because we are.”
At the time, another mysterious move from Taylor had Swifties convinced she wouldn’t let Kanye’s dig get her down. During her Eras Tour concert on Aug. 3 in Warsaw, Poland, Swift wore a “22” shirt that read “I Bet You Think About Me.” Fans speculated that the choice was a subtle message targeted at West, as the track from his 2021 album, Red (Taylor’s Version), is widely believed to be a reference to their long-standing rivalry.
