Numerous celebrities have taken to social media to voice their issues with Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry publicly joined the fray in 2014. This came about after Swift’s 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, in which she alluded to her song, “Bad Blood,” being about another female pop star.
“For years, I was never sure if [this singer and I] were friends or not,” Swift recounted. “She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?'” The Pennsylvania native went on to explain that this person had hired many of her tour’s backup dancers, which nearly threw off the whole production.
After the article’s release, Perry posted on X, “Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing,” clearly referencing Swift and essentially calling her fake and calculating. While their feud continued for years, the two eventually put things to the side, hugging it out in Swift’s 2019 “You Need to Calm Down” music video. Perry also attended one of the Sydney, Australia performances of the Eras Tour in February 2024.
