Katy Perry has no idea what you’re talking about.
She’s probably giving you a quizzical side-eye right about now.
She doesn’t know why you think she ever feuded with Taylor Swift. What a crazy notion!
In a new interview with Australia’s Today show, the singer was asked – yes, once again – about her relationship with Swift.
Despite rarely even saying each other’s names in public, the rivalry between these artists has been near the center of the celebrity gossip universe for years, ever since Swift released the diss track “Bad Blood.”
It was pretty clearly written about Perry, with whom Swift allegedly has a beef due a disagreement over backup dancers back in the day.
While promoting her latest album, Katy said Taylor tried to “assassinate my character” and made it sound as if the feud was only just beginning.
But then the public sort of took Swift’s side… and then Swift made the ultimate passive-aggressive power move against Perry… and Katy quickly changed her tune.
“I love her, I always have,” Perry told the Australian interviewer. “We’ve had our differences, but I just continue to say, ‘God bless her on her journey.’”
That’s very cute of Katy to say.
As the first song off her new record, Perry unveiled what most people assumed was her own diss track, seemingly clapping back at Swift via the single “Swish Swish.”
It wasn’t well received, however.
After receiving negative feedback for the way she went after Swift all these years later, Perry did a 180 several weeks ago and now talks as if the two are soul sisters.
“I am ready to let it go,” Perry said on a recent installment of the Thrive Global Podcast, adding:
“I forgive her and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her. There’s a lot of other things out there in the world that people need to be focused on.
“God bless her on her journey. God bless her. Honestly.”
Somewhere (and we really don’t know where because she’s gone social media silent for nearly a year now), Swift and her team must be having quite a good laugh over all this flip-flopping.
Taylor has managed to win her war against Perry without ever mentioning her by name.
Seriously, go back and look at all the stories The Hollywood Gossip and other websites have written about this rivalry.
Try to find one instance in which Swift mentioned Perry or even hinted strongly that she had any problem with Perry at all.
Go ahead. We’ll wait.
You just may not want to hold your breath while you investigate.
