Taylor Swift slams 'haters' before performing Kim Kardashian's alleged 'diss track' at recent show

Taylor Swift debuted her alleged Kim Kardashian diss track live for the first time on Saturday and sent a message to people who are “talking sh*t” about her.

The UK has been awash in Swift fever this month as the 34-year-old successfully performed her show in Liverpool, Cardiff and London.

Following a successful three-night residency at Anfield, the 'Shake It Off' singer performed in front of around 67,000 fans at the Principality Stadium before taking over Wembley for three consecutive nights.

On her second night in the English capital, Swift got off stage and prepared for her acoustic set.

The Eras Tour segment is where she performs four or more surprise songs.

At Wembley this included The Department of Tortured Poetss “thank you AIMee,” widely seen as a dig at Kim Kardashian, 43.

The fact that the capital letters spell “KIM” may be a bit telling.

For context, Taylor and Kim began feuding when Kim's then-husband, Kanye West, released the track “Famous,” which referenced Taylor and included the line: “I feel like that Taylor and I could still have sex, why did I do that b* **h famous.”

Taylor claimed she never gave consent for the song, before Kim posted an edited version of a phone conversation between Taylor and Kanye, implying she agreed to the lyrics. Taylor released the unedited phone call years later.

Addressing the crowd on Saturday (June 22), the Pennsylvania native said: “I thought I could play at Wembley Stadium. This is not normal at all.

“It’s so crazy of you to do this for me… and my team because we get to play Wembley Stadium eight times this summer.

“You clearly thought it was a good idea, you wanted it to happen. It amazes me. I will spend forever trying to thank you for this.

The “Bad Blood” singer then explained that it wasn't just the fans who catapulted her to stardom, but also her haters.

“On the other hand, it really makes me think about the fact that every time someone says shit, it makes me work even harder and it makes me even harder,” she explained.

“So that also makes me incredibly grateful to these people. I've never played this one before. Wish me good luck.”

After delivering her song, Swift launched into an acoustic version of “thank you everyone.”

The track was controversial among Swifties, with fans taking to social media to speak out when it was released earlier this year.

“Show. Taylor Swift released a Kim K diss track and I just found out about it,” one user questioned.

Another typed: “Smh…Taylor Swift will ALWAYS be #1.” »

A third said: “Isn't it time #TaylorSwift stopped bashing #KimKardashian?” Taylor Swift wins every award possible and is worth around a billion dollars. Isn't that enough?

“She has every right to express her anger,” commented a fourth.
