Fans of pop star Taylor Swift think reality tv star Kim Kardashian’s 2024 Met Gala look is referring to Taylor. Kim had a grey cardigan on that made fans mind run rampant

Swifties think the cardigan of Kim’s Met Gala look has something to do with Taylor Swift

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala 2024 look had Taylor Swift fans talking.

This year’s Met Gala theme was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and Kim, 43, left onlookers gobsmacked when she arrived in a shimmering gown with her newly dyed platinum blonde locks cascading over her shoulders. Kim wore a sparkly silver strapless Maison Margiela by John Galliano dress with floral see-through accents from the waist down and a waist cinched so tight, it looked like she couldn’t breathe.

The SKIMS founder paired her outfit with a cozy grey cardigan, and it’s safe to say that fans were divided by for different reasons. Among those puzzled, Swifties took notice of the fuzzy grey cardigan and couldn’t help but start theorizing.

One Taylor Swift fan compared the image of Kim’s Met Gala look with the grey cardigan on Taylor’s merch website for her latest album The Tortured Poets Department. They captioned their post, “so tell me everything is not about me. but what if it is??”

The mother-of-four explained to Vogue magazine the reason for the cardigan with her gown. She shared that the sweater refers to “the wildest night of my life in a garden.” and detailed the story to the publication. “I just ran out and grabbed my boyfriend’s sweater,” she said, “and threw it on and had to get to work,” she said.

Regardless of whether Swifties believe Kim or not, the coincidence is glaring to them. Taylor Swift released a song called Cardigan from the 2020 album Folklore. From there, she released accompanying merch that included cardigans and it seems that has been a consistent merch aesthetic ever since with there being a cardigan for her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

In the current album, there is a rumor diss track about the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum titled thanK you aIMee. The way the song title is written also appears to allude to Kim with the way the capital letters spell out her name. While Taylor Swift hasn’t confirmed that the song is about her, there are a lot of assumptions from fans and other publications that the song is about Kim and their past feud.

The song seems to be about Taylor reflecting on an old high-school bully but also overcoming said bully (who is Aimee). The feud started in 2016 when Kim released a recording of then husband Kanye and The Alchemy singer on the phone talking about Kanye’s “Famous,” trying to show that Taylor approved the notorious lyric “I made that b*tch famous.” In the recording, the only line that was shown discussed between Kanye and Taylor was “For all my Southside n—– that know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.”

Taylor denied approving the “I made that b*tch famous.” line. In 2023, Taylor was named TIME’s 2023 Person of the Year, she talked about that “illegally recorded” phone call and said it felt like “a career death” and “took [her] down psychologically to a place [she’d] never been before.”
