It would seem that there is still no love lost between Dave Portnoy and the Kardashians. The Barstool Sports founder took to social media for a victory lap on Friday after Taylor Swift's new album The Tortured Poets Department dropped, which features a song that not-so-subtly shades her longtime nemesis, Kim Kardashian.

In addition to the notable capitalization of the apparent diss track, titled "thanK you aIMee," it doesn't exactly take a pop culture anthropologist to deduce that the lyrics are referring to the SKIMS founder.

"When I picture my hometown there's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you / and a plaque underneath it that threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school," Swift sings at the beginning of the track. Later, she goes for the jugular: "And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues / And one day, your kid comes home singin' a song that only us two is gonna know is about you."

To bring the woman's child into it? It seems as though many of us may have underestimated Swift's pettiness. But Portnoy, at least, loves to see it.

"KIM KARDASHIAN GOT WRECKED," the 46-year-old all-caps posted to X on Friday morning. "I NEED TO SEE HER KID SINGING LYRIC ABOUT WHAT A DIRTBAG HER MOTHER IS."

"No defining clues besides capitalizing her name," he added with a cry-laugh emoji and water pistol emoji. "I love Taylor."

Portnoy's apparent dislike of the Kardashian family has not gone undocumented. After rumors began swirling last summer of Tom Brady dating the single mother of four, Portnoy took to Instagram to say that it made him want to "puke."

"I can't have this. I can't have this, it makes me want to puke," he explained. "Tom Brady can't date Kim Kardashian, OK? Kim Kardashian—listen, she's hot, she's a bazillionaire, but she's like a paparazzi girl. She f--cked on camera to get famous. Sure, she's talented and she does other stuff."

"But you're Tom Brady," Portnoy continued. "You're better than that. If you're not better than that, none of us are better than that.

And of course, the longstanding feud between Swift and Kardashian now dates back 15 years, to when the reality TV star's ex-husband Kanye West famously interrupted the "Bad Blood" singer at the VMAs.

West and Kardashian weren't even an item at the time, but years later in 2015 Kim defended West’s lyrics about Swift in his song "Famous," claiming that the couple had run it by the pop singer, which she vehemently denied. Although the feud had apparently cooled down in recent years, it seems as though Swift just poured gasoline and lit a match.
