Katy Perry shocked and delighted us all when she released "Swish Swish," a fun little song with Nicki Minaj.
The song itself is OK, but the real joy comes from the lyrics, which really and truly seem to be about Taylor Swift.
The legendary Katy vs. Taylor feud has been going on for years now, all because Taylor thought Katy betrayed her by stealing some backup dancers.
Taylor"s made several passive aggressive statements about Katy, and she even released a song about her, the super catchy but super petty "Bad Blood."
And now, two years lately, it seems like Katy"s responded with "Swish Swish."
You can listen to the song, take in the lyrics and make your own decision about what it"s possibly about, but Katy made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night, and she was directly asked about the rumor.
""Swish Swish,"" Jimmy began, "is that about anyone we know?"
Katy took a moment to gather her thoughts, then responded with "I think it"s a great anthem for people to use whenever someone"s trying to hold you down or bully you."
Which, it seems, is a good, neutral answer that works better than something like "Yeah, this song is about Taylor Swift, that bitch."
Of course she can"t come right out and directly diss Taylor like that, but notice that she definitely doesn"t deny that ti"s about her.
Watch Katy throw her best subtle shade in the interview below:
