Katy Perry Performs Taylor Swift Diss Track on Saturday Night Live: Watch!
Katy Perry sure knows how to get people talking.
Earlier this week, she dropped a brand new song from her upcoming album called "Swish Swish." The song features the talents of Nicki Minaj, and it"s … well, it"s OK.
But nobody"s talking about the quality of the song or its guest performers — everyone"s talking about the possible subject of the song.
Because "Swish Swish" is almost certainly about none other than Taylor Swift.
The lyrics seem to reference Katy"s legendary feud with Taylor, and even when directly asked, Katy hasn"t denied that the song is about her.
Ruby Rose, one of Taylor"s key squad members, took the time to absolutely tear Katy apart soon after its release.
It"s all very scandalous, and Katy brought that scandal with her when she performed the song last night on Saturday Night Live.
And it sure was a show.
We analyzed it to see if there were any references to Taylor, and if there were, we missed them.
But to be fair, it"s hard to understand anything about what"s happening in this performance.
Katy sings the song to the best of her ability — with no Nicki, it does drag a little — while surrounded by many, many people.
There are drag queens, dancers, a guy in a skeleton suit, and one very enthusiastic boy with a backpack who moves his arms really fast.
And while all these shenanigans are going on around her, Katy is just as serious as can be. Because it doesn"t get more serious than "swish, swish, bish."
Watch the mess in action in the video below:

Kate Upton Performs as Britney Spears, Inspires Nostalgic Erections
Kate Upton appears on Spike TV"s Lip Sync Battle this week, and from what we"ve seen, there are few words that can describe her performance:
Boob-tacular. Booberiffic. Boob-tastic.
You get the idea.
Kate Upton has giant boobs, and she"s not afraid to put them to good use.
So when we first learned that Kate would be appearing on Lip Sync Battle, we imagined it would be a jiggly affair.
But we had no idea what was in store …
Kate decided to take the opportunity to pay tribute to pop goddess Britney Spears, who these days appears to have achieved full-blown icon status at the age of 35.
Obviously, Kate had many Britney personas to choose from:
She could"ve come out draped in a snake, dressed in a form-fitting flight attendant"s uniform, or dragging a bloated Kevin Federline on her coattails.
Hell, she could"ve shaved her head and come out swinging an umbrella!
The possibilities are endless.
Fortunately for us, Kate decided to go old-school. Literally.
She squeezed into a school uniform that"s almost certainly fraught with dress code violations in order to bounce around to the tune of Brit"s first hit, "… Baby One More Time."
The effect is so stunning you may not even notice that Ricky Martin is in the background not wearing any pants.
Seriously, though, what the hell happened to Ricky"s pants?
At this rate, the next season of Lip Sync Battle will be on Cinemax at 3 am.
Check out a preview of Kate"s performance in the clip below:

Mariah Carey Performs Live: Did She Redeem Herself?
Mariah Carey returned to the scene of her biggest crime on Wednesday night.
In a manner of speaking.
About six weeks ago, the legendary artist made a fool out of herself in Times Square, stumbling through a performance on New Year"s Eve as the result of some technical difficulties…
… along with some lazy practice habits and a seeming lack of knowledge when it came to her own song lyrics.
In the aftermath of this debacle, Carey"s team floated this weird conspiracy theory about how she was set up to fail by producers.
"I came to New Year’s Eve in New York in great spirits and was looking forward to a celebratory moment with the world,” Carey said in a nearly two-minute audio recording posted to her Twitter page afterwards, adding:
“It’s a shame that we were put into the hands of a production team with technical issues, who chose to capitalize on circumstances beyond our control."
It was a nightmare all around for the singer.
But Mariah was back on a stage to try her vocal chords once again this week, appearing as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
With help from rapper YG, Carey belted out a rendition of latest ballad, "I Don"t," in front of a sold-out studio audience; the track was inspired by the star"s public and ugly split from Australian billionaire James Packer.
Rocking a curve-hugging and plunging red gown that flaunted her cleavage in a major way, Carey taunted Packer via such lines as you “probably think I’m coming back, but I don’t, I don’t.”
As for how she actually sounded in her return to live performing?
Stop. Watch. And listen for yourself:

Taylor Swift Performs Pre-Super Bowl Show: Her Only Show of 2017?!
Today is a very special, very sacred day for the good ol" U.S.A. — it"s Super Bowl Sunday, friends!
As people all across the country gather together to eat food and watch football (or the commercials that air in between the football bits), we must also give thanks to all the celebrities that make this such an important event.
There"s Lady Gaga, for instance, who will be performing for the halftime show.
But there"s also Taylor Swift, who did a pretty impressive pre-Super Bowl show herself last night in Houston.
She performed some old classics like "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me," and she also did some newer hits like "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space."
She even performed a solo acoustic version of her new song with Zayn Malik, "I Don"t Wanna Live Forever," which you can watch below.
But the most interesting moment of the night was when she told the audience that she wasn"t planning on doing another performance for a long, long time.
"As far as I know," Taylor said, "I"m only doing one show in 2017, and as far as I know, this is that show."
"So what I"m trying to tell you is, by coming here tonight, you"re essentially attending 100 percent of my tour dates for the year, so thank you!"
As you might recall, she only did one show in 2016, too.
So what"s up with Taylor? Is she over being a pop star? Is she just taking a long, long break?
Either way, watch an apparently rare performance in the video below:

Kellyanne Conway Performs Stand-Up Comedy. For Real.
Kellyanne Conway made many people laugh last weekend when she offered up the term "alternate facts" as a euphemism for White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer straight-up lying to the media.
But a new video of Conway actually acting as a stand-up comic has surfaced online.
And at no point in these 11-plus minutes does Donald Trump"s trusted advisor make anyone laugh.
At least not with her.
The cringeworthy footage was filmed when Kellyanne was running The Polling Company and competed in a “Funniest Celebrity in Washington D.C.” charity contest in 1998.
Let"s just say that she didn"t win.
Then known as Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, the shameless hack tries to quip about the reasons why her foot is in a cast, while also tossing out some lawyer one-liners and even combining child abuse with the Washington Redskins at one point.
(Sample joke: "What’s the one difference between a pundette and Ally McBeal? Ally McBeal’s on a major network.")
As a grand finale, following several minutes of groans and/or silence from the crowd, Kellyanne sings… while dressed in a red feathered boa.
The song she sings is titled "The Pundette Blues.”
We don"t want to criticize this so-called performance too harshly, out of fear that Kellyanne will find us and punch us in the face, but it"s slightly off-tune.
Whatever you think of Conway as a human being, she is actually a terrific surrogate for Trump. She serves her purpose very well as his spokesperson.
So let"s give her some credit for realizing that her future was definitely NOT in stand-up comedy, as we watch her bomb worse than Jeb Bush as a Presidential candidate:

Taylor Swift Returns to the Stage, Performs Calvin Harris Song
Taylor Swift is finally back on stage and singing her heart out.
That’s right, America’s sweetheart is back, but is she still in good graces with most of her fans?
I mean, it was not that long ago there was the whole “Taylor Swift is over party.”
That party came on the heels of Taylor pretty much being revealed as a liar.
How so?
Remember that time she was going on about not giving Kanye West permission to use her in his song, “Famous?” Yeah, well Kim decided that playing nice was a foreign concept and took to Snapchat to lift the lid on what went down.
To be fair, the Kardashians have no compunction with lifting the lid about things if it gets their name in the media.
That’s sort of how reality TV stars work.
With Kim revealing that Taylor did know about Kanye’s lyrics, and the fact that Taylor’s love life was embroiled in a lot of controversy due to just how fast she moved on from Calvin Harris, Taylor kind of took a step back from the public.
There was controversy surrounding Taylor pretty much everywhere for a while.
It was needed. There was no way she would be able to come back from that huge downfall while still in the public eye.
Add in the fact that her relationship with Tom Hiddleston was in tatters, there was a lot of change for Taylor.
Now, it appears that she’s well and truly back to her former self and we’re kind of excited for what the future holds for her.
Taylor revealed the news that she would be returning to the stage in a sweet video that proved she was as resilient as ever.
Have a look for yourself:
Taylor performed in Austin after the Formula One United States Grand Prix on Saturday.
She looked pretty damn great throughout the whole thing.
On the menu was a bevy of her back catalog of hits, but there was one somewhat surprising addition the set list.
That came in the form of “This Is What You Came For.”
That was the song she co-wrote with her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris.
Y’know, the one in which Rihanna normally belts out the vocals.
That marked the first time Taylor sung the song life since it was revealed that she served as a co-writer on the track.
It’s pretty great that she acknowledged that she owned the track and all, but how must Calvin and Rihanna be feeling right about now?
What do you think about all of this?

Taylor Swift Performs Surprising Duet, Kisses Random Dude on Stage
Taylor Swift sure doesn’t look like someone whose life is totally and completely ruined.
On Saturday night, the singer made what is believed to have been her first public appearance since getting called out in embarrassing fashion by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Rocking a sexy off-the-shoulder crop top and mini skirt, the 26-year old actually performed on stage with Nelly as part of good friend Karlie Kloss’ birthday party in The Hamptons.
Swift had previously wished Kloss a very happy birthday.
It was only Taylor’s second Instagram message in about a month, since the infamous phone with Kanye that Kim leaked online.
As you can see in cell phone footage shared by someone in attendance, Swift and Nelly broke into a rendition of the rapper’s 2002 hit, “Dilemma.”

Swift took on Kelly Rowland’s parts of the song and the two stars sang and danced as the crowd went wild in approval.
“Taylor was in an amazing mood, and super fun all night,” an insider tells E! News, adding:
“She danced her ass off. At first she didn’t want to perform but then Nelly asked her. Everyone was super into it, the crowd loved it.”
Last year, Nelly became one of several celebrities to make a cameo with Swift’s on the pop artist’s 1989 World Tour.
He came out during a stop in St. Louis, Missouri and sang “Hot in Herre” with Haim.
At one point on Saturday night, meanwhile, Swift was joined by on stage by some guy named Mike Hess.
We’ve learned that he’s a Harvard Business School graduate and oil heir that a party goer says was also celebrating a birthday that evening.
And Swift made sure it was a birthday he’ll never forget.
In a Snapchat video shared by jewelry designer Jen Meyer, the singer is seen strutting her sexy stuff toward Hess… prior to giving him a quick smooch on his cheek.
The duo then dances closely together, with Hess sort of wrapping his arm around her waist.
Sorry, Tom Hiddleston. You may want to turn away right about now…
But a source confirms to E! News that Swift spent more of her night with Kloss.
There’s no scandal to report on here regarding her interactions with Hess.
Swift, of course, was outed a liar by Kardashian and West several weeks ago.
They seemed to confirm that Taylor did, indeed, know all about the lyrics in the song “Famous,” even giving Kanye permission to sing some unflattering things about her.
Ever since this incident, Taylor has mostly gone social media silent.
We’ve heard more about Calvin Harris dissing her than we’ve heard from Swift herself.
While many Internet users are excited that Swift is now “over,” however, we’re glad to see her out and about and in a good mood.
She’s clearly not a bad person. Critics gotta lighten up.
See what they’ve been saying about her below and check out her fun duet with Nelly above.

Reese Witherspoon Star-Studded 40th Birthday: Taylor Swift Performs!
While Rob Kardashian celebrated his birthday this weekend with an intimate family dinner, Reese Witherspoon went for the all-out major rager with a host of A-list celebrity guests.
Reese rang in her 40th birthday in style at the swanky Warwick lounge in Hollywood and was accompanied by famous friends like Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Courteney Cox, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Downey Jr., Isla Fisher, Conan O’Brien, Chris Martin, Chelsea Handler and Tobey Maguire.
Oh, and Witherspoon was also treated to a special birthday concert by a little known artist called Taylor Swift, who performed a stripped-down, acoustic version of “Shake It Off.”
The birthday girl rocked a sparkly, long-sleeved mini dress and looked positively glowing.
Kate Hudson shared this fun photo collage of the bash.
“When you take a shit load of pictures and you still don’t have it perfect so you go for the ole collage post…. Happy Birthday gorgeous girl @reesewitherspoon !!! Love you,” she wrote in the caption.
The Almost Famous actress included the hashtags #TequillaFirst #PostingLater #SaturdayNight #ImSoExcitedToGetIntoBedIDontEvenKnowWhatToDoWithMyself #NotWashingMyFace #GoodNight
Sounds like tequila kicked her butt that evening. I think we’ve all been there.
As part of the fun, Reese took the stage and sang “Sweet Home Alabama” with Keith Urban on guitar, an homage to her 2002 hit movie with the same name.
Oddly, we did not see Reese’s husband Jim Toth – could those divorce rumors that surfaced back in December be true?
Perhaps he was just hiding from the cameras. Whatever the case, it looks like Reese had an unbelievable birthday!

Justin Bieber Performs on Ellen: Watch! Drool!
Justin Bieber Week has come to an end.
In exciting, musical, really handsome fashion!
The 21-year old sensation has appeared opposite Ellen DeGeneres every single day this week, culminating in a mini Justin Bieber concert outside Ellen’s studio in promotion of his new album… which dropped TODAY!
The artist initially sat with the comedian and talked about his penis.
He then surprised some of his biggest fans by meeting them in person and offering them VIP tickets to upcoming shows.
He then announced a world tour for 2016 and even reconciled with Seth Rogen on stage
To celebrate the release of new record today, Bieber concluded his week by treating fans to a live version of “Sorry,” as posted above.
He also put on a performance of “What Do You Mean?”
Tweeted Bieber on Thursday night, showing his appreciation for DeGeneres and also for all of her fans:
“I love @TheEllenShow so much. Thank you for everything you do for me. #BieberWeekOnEllen.”
Bieber’s album is expected to hit number-one, but he’ll be facing some stiff and even equally handsome competition.
Indeed, One Direction also released its brand new album today.
Check out Justin’s two most recent live performances above and then sound off below: Whose record will you purchase first, his or that of One Direction?
