RIP Taylor Swift mural painted by Lushsux on a wall in Melbourne, Australia.

The "RIP Taylor Swift" surfaced last week in Melbourne, Australia after a war broke out between the "Shake It Off" singer and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Apparently, the mural has now been transformed to resemble the man who allegedly recorded the Snapchat conversation between him and Swift, Kanye West.

The photograph of the original mural painted by an artist named Lushsux was first uploaded on Instagram on July 20, Wednesday. The picture, painted on the wall, clearly resembled 26-year-old "Bad Blood" singer and had the caption "In Loving Memory of Taylor Smith 1989-2016." The artist misspelled Swift's last name intentionally to avoid chances of "the pending defamation lawsuit" that might be filed against them.

Later on the same day, Lushsux revealed on Instagram that "Taylor Smith's attorney has emailed me with a threat of legal action if I do not remove my wall relating to her," according to US Magazine.

However, by the next day, someone had already changed Swift's mural to resemble Harambe, the gorilla which was killed in May at Cincinnati Zoo after a little boy fell into its cage. Harambe's memorial was shared the next day by Lushsux, who questioned whereabouts of the person who did this to his work.

Soon, the mural was again freshly painted and the facelift now resembled rapper who allegedly recorded the Snapchat conversation with Swift, West. The caption of the mural was changed to "In Loving Memory of... Haramye The Savage 2016. Murdered Taylor Smith on Snapchat."

Meanwhile, Kardashian seem unperturbed by the epic feud that took place between her and Swift. Recently, the reality television celebrity rapped the Kanyer lyrics about Swift that was the root cause behind the battle between the two, according to People.

Kardashian shared a series of Snapchats of her night at Hakkasan nightclub in Las Vegas. In one of the videos, Kardashian is seen posing with her friend Carla DiBello and singing along her husband's song "Famous." She particularly sang the following part of the song that refers to Swift.

"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous. I made that bitch famous," West raps in his song "Famous."
