Taylor Swift's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," has sparked interest about her old feud with Kim Kardashian.

The 34-year-old singer surprised her fans on April 19 with a double album, which came just two hours after she released her 11th studio album, "TTPD: The Anthology."

One song on the album, "thanK you aIMee," has caught people's attention. In the song, Swift sings about being bullied, and some fans think she's talking about Kardashian.

A source close to the 43-year-old says she isn't bothered by the song and thinks Swift should move on.

The source says Kardashian doesn't understand why Swift keeps bringing up the past, especially since it's been years since their feud started.

The song's chorus includes lines like, "All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' / And I can't forgive the way you made me feel." Later, Swift changes the chorus to, "All that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for nothin' / An our town, it look so small from way up here / Screamed 'Thank you, Aimee' to the night sky and the stars are stunnin' / 'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal."

The song also mentions Swift removing "any real defining clues" about the subject's identity and her saying, "I changed your name," which fans think refers to her fight with Kardashian.

The fight between Swift and Kardashian started in 2016 when Kardashian's ex-husband, Kanye West, mentioned Swift in his song "Famous."

Swift said she didn't know about the song's lyrics and didn't approve of them. Kardashian then released edited videos of a phone call between West and Swift to try to prove her side of the story.

In 2019, Kardashian said they had all moved on from the fight, but Swift seemed to say otherwise in a rare interview.

She said she wished people who bullied her would apologize, seeming to refer to the phone call and West's song.
