Kim Kardashian Comments on Taylor Swift-Themed Birthday Celebration for Ivanka Trump’s Daughter
On “thanK you aIMee,” Taylor Swift seemingly predicts that Kim Kardashian will never be able to escape reminders of their feud. “And one day, your kid comes home singing a song that only us two is gonna know is about you,” she sings on the Tortured Poets Department track.
As it turns out, that same logic applies to friends’ kids, as well. On Wednesday (July 17), the Skims founder commented on Ivanka Trump’s birthday post on Instagram for her daughter Arabella, side-stepping the fact that the new 13-year-old had a Swift-themed cake.
“Happy Birthday Arabella 🤍🩷,” Kardashian simply wrote.

Arabella is the oldest child of the former political advisor and Jared Kushner, who also share sons Joseph and Theodore. Her heart-shaped cake matched the one Swift tears into in her “Blank Space” music video, and featured lyrics written in icing: “Boys only want love if it’s torture.”
“Best cake for my favorite Swiftie,” Trump wrote over a photo of the dessert, which featured red icing on the inside to mimic the blood that came out of the pop star’s when she stabbed it in the 2014 video.
Kardashian’s comment comes three months after the release of “thanK you aIMee,” which was the last time Swift appeared to address her beef with the reality star. “When I picture my hometown/ There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you/ And a plaque underneath it/ That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school,” the 14-time Grammy winner sings on the track. “I can’t forgive the way you made me feel/ Screamed, ‘F–k you, Aimee’ to the night sky.”
A few months before that, Swift called out the shapewear mogul by name in her December TIME Person of the Year interview. “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” she reflected of their 2016 conflict, which involved Ye (formerly Kanye West) including disparaging lyrics about Swift in his song “Famous” that she claimed not to have approved, though he and his then-wife insisted she had on a call between the two artists.
“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before,” she added at the time. “I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
