Followers of recent social media posts by Kim Kardashian were vocal in their disapproval after the star used Taylor Swift's song "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" in her latest Instagram Story.
This past Saturday marked a momentous occasion for Kim - her 43rd birthday.
To commemorate the day, several photos were posted to her Stories by friends and family. One photo in particular caught the eye of Swifties, a nickname for Taylor fans.
Kim Kardashian posted a snapshot from Liz Woods showcasing her glamorous look.
The image depicted the reality star beaming while wearing a stunning purple Dolce and Gabbana gown at an opulent affair held within Italy's borders.
Kim Kardashian's gown had an unmistakable "Speak Now" flair, as the dress closely resembled that of Taylor Swift on the album cover.
The dress hugged Kim's figure perfectly and was further complemented by a long, puffy train that trailed behind for quite some distance.
Unfortunately, the reality star's recent social media post garnered negative feedback from other users who accused her of being "jealous" of Taylor's fame and wanting more "attention."
In reaction to Kim's birthday wish for attention, many of Taylor's followers commented about the years-long feud between her and Taylor.
One said, "She's jealous of all the media attention Taylor has been getting, lol. It looks like she's desperate to have her name trending for her special day."
The recent success of the "Eras" World Tour and her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce has brought unprecedented recognition to the world-renowned artist.
"It appears as though she had planned this outcome," remarked one observer, "the publicity has been incredible."
One commenter expressed shock: "There's no denying that Kim has changed for the better, but it doesn't excuse what she did to Taylor in the past - it was awful."
