Swifties had been waiting for Midnight with bated breaths and it is finally here. It has not been a whole day and Taylor Swift fans have heard the whole thing out and have started passing their judgments and concocting theories already. One such theory that has become a very prominent one is that the song Vigilante S**t is actually about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s divorce.
Swift’s rift with the former couple is a universally known fact and their relationship with each other has been a rollercoaster journey for years – from enemies to friends to enemies again. And her latest song suggests that there has been yet another plot twist to this dynamic.
Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian, secretly friends?
The track in question hints at the Red singer conniving with an adversary’s ex and giving her “cold hard proof.” Further lyrics read,
“Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride
Picture me, thick as thieves with your ex-wife
And she looks so pretty
Driving in your Benz.”
Keeping in mind that Kim K and Kanye West went through a really ugly separation only last year, Taylor Swift could very well be talking about them here. In addition, the Yeezy founder has been throwing fits about not getting to be with his kids and controlling aspects of their lives as much as he would like, which again coincides with what the lyrics say. If it all adds up then that means that the Wildest Dreams singer and the SKIMS founder have covertly become friends. At least, that is what the Swifties have theorized.

The idea of the two ladies teaming up to bring down the Donda rapper was a pleasant one for several fans.

The excitement is justified because Swift’s comeback to KimYe via her 2017 album Reputation was one of the most iconic moments in their years-long dispute. The issue had been between the Fearless singer and Ye but it naturally extended to the SKKN founder via marital relations.
If not Kanye West, then Scooter Braun
However, not every fan is of the idea that Vigilante S**t is about the Bound 2 rapper. Swift has another famous nemesis, Scooter Braun. And several fans think that this song is actually about Scooter and his ex-wife, Yael Cohen Braun’s separation. The couple settled their divorce in September, and the owner of Swift’s old records has confessed that his 3 kids mostly spend their time with their mother because he has a “busy work schedule”. Everyone knows what that means.

Another lyric from the song is what hinted the fans about the possibility of this being Braun and not West. The lyric, “Someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI,” has been deciphered as alluding to the $200 million lawsuit for a failed private equity fund that the entrepreneur was slammed with in June 2021.
