Taylor Swift is currently bringing The Eras Tour to Wembley Stadium, London with 8 sold-out shows, Prince William himself and his two young children attended the opening night. . One of the “specialties” of The Eras Tour is the “surprise songs” performance where Taylor Swift will bring two impromptu mashups of any song in her career. : The first mashup includes 2 songs sung with guitar, the 2nd mashup includes 2 songs with piano accompaniment.
On the second night of The Eras Tour in London, Taylor Swift caused a stir when she “sent” her first mashup to her “enemy” Kim Kardashian. Before starting, Taylor Swift said: “Whenever someone says shit about me, it just makes me work harder and makes me more resilient. This makes me feel better. I’m extremely grateful to these people. I’ve never played this mashup so please support me!”. And then, she performed the mashup song Mean x ThanK you aIMee in the cheers of nearly 90,000 spectators.
Taylor Swift performs mashup Mean x thanK you aIMee.
Mean is one of the biggest hits in Taylor Swift’s career. This is a song that Taylor Swift dedicates to those who criticize, say things and say bad things about her, released in 2011 on the album Speak Now.
Sharing about this song when it was released 13 years ago, Taylor Swift said: “I understand that not everyone will like everything you do and I understand that no matter what, you will be criticized. But I also understand that there are different ways to criticize someone. There is constructive criticism. And then there is just harsh criticism , mean. There’s a line you need to draw when you want to criticize someone, but there’s this one guy who keeps crossing that line over and over again. This person is just being mean and talking things that can ruin my day….”
As for thanK you aIMee, the track is in Taylor Swift’s latest album – The Tortured Poets Department. When the audience combines all the intentionally capitalized words in the song title, we will have the word KIM. And there is definitely only one Kim in this world that makes Taylor Swift “favorite” her gift: Kim Kardashian.
The song talks about victims of being bullied while at school, the deep hurt the victims encountered as well as the strength of the victims to overcome that pain. It doesn’t take a very analytical mind to know that the entire song is Taylor Swift’s tribute to Kim Kardashian for making her stronger than she is today.
Going back in time, perhaps all of us know the “great hatred” between Taylor Swift and the Kim Kardashian – Kanye West duo. A series of never-ending dramas: the shocking microphone snatching incident at the 2009 VMAs, Kanye West’s obscene rap lyrics about Taylor Swift, the shocking “phone call” that ruined Taylor Swift’s career for the Kim family – Kanye,… All of this has caused the extreme conflicts between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian – Kanye West to remain one of the most ink-consuming feuds in Hollywood.
Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian thought they had reconciled in 2019, but then the entire uncut phone call was posted online, and public opinion completely reversed.
