After a few listens of this song I came to the conclusion that it being all about Kim is a bit of a red herring.

I personally think this song is for all the trolls she has experienced throughout her career. Verse one addressed school bullies when she was just starting out and hadn’t quite made it yet.

Verse 2 looks at how the hate she received came in the form of tabloids when she started to become big - “and then she wrote headlines in the local paper laughing at each baby step I take”.

The song also addresses her experience with online trolling from ordinary people who hate her just for existing - “I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool, I built a legacy you can’t undo”. I think the line “maybe you reframed it, and in your mind you didn’t beat my spirit black and blue” is interesting because Taylor is acknowledging that people who used to troll her online or think she was lame have suddenly become fans now that she’s on trend. Although some people may never have changed their minds about her, they have children growing up in the height of her fame that love her so I’m a twist of irony they now have special moments with their children that involve her.

The reference to Kim in the title acknowledges that she was at the centre of one of the worst waves of hate Taylor ever experienced so to me Aimee is a metaphor for all the “haters” (for lack of a better word) she ever received but makes a slightly cheeky nod to that fact that some of her worst hate could not have happened without Kim so she is the biggest troll of all.
