- Maybe it's a coincidence, but fans think Kim Kardashian might've just reignited her feud with Taylor Swift.
- The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star posted some snake-themed jewellery on Instagram Stories just hours after the singer released her latest single 'Me', and many think this could be a subtle nod to the time Kim called Taylor a snake.
Get your self a cup of tea and make sure it's hot, because there's some sipping to be done. Fans think Kim Kardashian of KUWTK fame's latest Instagram Story might be a dig at Taylor Swift, and OOOH.
On Friday [26 April], Taylor dropped a new single, 'Me', featuring Brendon Urie from Panic! At The Disco. And while it's no doubt a banger, many think Kim attempted to drag up their past beef in an attempt to overshadow the release.
Right after Taylor's video dropped, Kim shared a flatlay of earrings and necklaces covered in snake motifs, with the caption, 'I am obsessed!!!! [sic]' This surely can't be a coincidence, right?
In case you need a refresh, the significance of the snake goes ~way~ back in the Kim/Taylor feud. You might remember Kim's husband Kanye West released the song 'Famous', which features the lyric, 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b*tch famous.'
While Taylor initially tried to deny she knew about the lyric prior to the song being released, Kim shared a recording online of Taylor giving the song the green light before Kanye dropped the single. She then took to Twitter to point out it was National Snake Day.

Kim's fans then flooded Taylor's Instagram with the snake emoji for days. Later, Taylor reclaimed the snake motif and used it throughout her Reputation tour and album, featuring it in videos, and even on stage.
The very first shot in Taylor’s video is a snake that turns into a butterfly. This has to be calculated from Kim, right?
