On May 6, 2024, the 2024 Met Gala red carpet witnessed an unexpected yet amicable interaction between Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian. The event came just weeks after Taylor Swift, a close friend and collaborator of Lana's, released a diss track titled "thanK you aIMee" on her album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Lana and Kim were seen chatting and laughing together on the red carpet, showcasing their stunning outfits. Kim wore a silver corset gown with a leafy design, while Lana donned a champagne-colored dress adorned with vines. The two posed together for photos, radiating elegance and style.
When asked by Harper's Bazaar about what they loved most about one another, Kim responded with "everything," to which Lana playfully pointed at Kim's waistline, complimenting her on the corset that accentuated her figure.
Despite the recent release of Swift's diss track, which many fans believe to be about Kim, Lana did not address the feud. Instead, she was asked about her favorite song from The Tortured Poets Department. Lana mentioned "It’s beautiful," and specifically named "Whose Afraid of Little Old Me," as her favorite track.
It's worth noting that Lana and Taylor have previously collaborated on the track "Snow on the Beach," and Taylor invited Lana on stage when she won the 2024 Grammy for Album of the Year. During her acceptance speech, Taylor also praised her friend.
The release of "thanK you aIMee" from The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology by Taylor Swift had sparked speculation among fans, given the capitalization of the title and the lyrics, which many believe to be directed at Kim Kardashian. The chorus of the song includes lines such as "All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ / And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real / Screamed ‘F**k you, Aimee/ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’."
Despite the backdrop of the diss track, Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian's friendly interaction at the Met Gala demonstrated a moment of unity and mutual respect amidst the swirling rumors and speculations.
