Katy Perry may have the most legitimate beef with Taylor Swift's squad, considering they, you know, assembled to film a music video for Swift's song "Bad Blood," which is allegedly based on Swift's ongoing feud with the "California Gurls" singer.
Of course, Perry's alleged feud with Swift dates back many years. In 2014, Swift slammed a nameless star that most of the world figured out was the "Firework" singer. "For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not," Swift told Rolling Stone. "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?' [Then] she did something so horrible. I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business." She added, "She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I'm surprisingly non-confrontational—you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It's awkward, and I don't like it."
The next day, Perry seemingly confirmed that Swift was talking about her by tweeting, "Beware of the Regina George in sheep's clothing..."
In July 2015, Swift started a highly publicized, since-quickly-resolved beef with Nicki Minaj about the MTV Video Music Awards—then blamed it on sexism and the media trying to pit women against one another. Perry wasn't quiet about it, tweeting, "Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably [sic] capitalizes on the take down of a woman..."
A year later, Swift's ex Calvin Harris tweeted, "I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC, but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it." Perry responded by retweeting one of her own posts from May 2015, reading, "Time, the ultimate truth teller," followed by a hilarious GIF of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Suffice to say: we doubt Perry will be joining Swift's squad anytime soon.
