Could Kim be trying to make amends?

KIM Kardashian has confused many fans with her recent Met Gala look.

The reality TV star wore a simple gray cardigan over her designer gown and some fans thought it was a dig at Taylor Swift.

Kim, 43, wore a custom silver Maison Margiela Couture gown to the Met Gala on Monday.

The gown was strapless and had leaves adorned on it.

However, what stumped Met Gala viewers was that Kim kept a gray cardigan over her dress the entire time she walked the carpet.

It fell around her shoulders and she kept it bunched up in her hands as she walked, not allowing those in attendance to see the full cardigan.

Kim explained the reasoning that she wore the coverup to Vogue that night.

She suggested that the cardigan was inspired by a “wild night” she had in a garden with a former boyfriend.

The Met Gala’s theme this year was Garden of Time, so Kim chose to honor this memory of hers to fit the theme.

“Oh, this is like the wildest night of my life in a garden,” she chuckled.

“And I just ran out and grabbed my boyfriend’s sweater and threw it on and had to get to work.”

“My hair’s all messed up,” Kim added.

Kim and Taylor have been in a years-long feud, after she and her ex-husband, Kanye West, recorded a phone call to Taylor in 2016.

However, some Taylor fans thought that Kim’s choice of cardigan looked oddly similar to one that the singer recently released in her merch store.

‘FELT LIKE AN OLD CARDIGAN’

Ever since Taylor, 34, released her eighth studio album, Folklore, her merch team has dropped cardigans on her website.

This is because the lead single on the album was called Cardigan.

There have been many different variations of the sweater, including the one Taylor wore in the music video to holiday collections and even ones for her rerecorded albums.

When her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped on April 19, Taylor’s team released another cardigan, to many fans’ delight.

This cardigan has been the simplest yet.

It’s a pewter gray color with brown buttons that has a patch at the bottom with the album’s name on it.

Sound familiar?

That’s because it looks like the sweater Kim had around her at the Met Gala.

THANK YOU AIMEE

While most of the songs on TTPD were rumored to be about Taylor’s ex-boyfriends – Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy – and current boyfriend Travis Kelce, there was one track that fans thought was about Kim.

After the album’s initial release, Taylor released 15 more songs to make TTPD: The Anthology.

On that second release, there was a song called thanK you aIMee.

The letters KIM were capitalized in the stylized song title, making fans believe that it was about Kim Kardashian.

Because of that dig, many fans thought that Kim was sending a message to Taylor, even though the singer wasn’t at the Met.

“It was really nice of Taylor to send Kim her very own thanK you aIMee TTPD cardigan!!” an X, formerly Twitter, user wrote.

“Looks like @Kim’s #TTPD #Cardigan fits short on her too @taylorswift13,” said another.

“So glad aimee got her TTPD cardigan in time for the met,” a third added.

“Kimberly, please let us know why you wore a cardigan. Assuming it’s because of Taylor Swift until further notice,” one said.

“This is how I know I’m too far gone as a Swiftie,” one fan said.

They went on to say that maybe Kim is trying to make amends with the subtle reference.
