"For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not. 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?'… 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 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."
Katy Perry must think it is about her because she Tweeted,
Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing...
I wonder if John Mayer is involved in this at all.

eTC was that
ReplyDelete*WTF
DeleteShe's non-confrontational but she'll write a passive aggressive song about it. That ground isn't much higher, swifty.
ReplyDeleteTeam Taylor! She has more talent and does not rely on her sexuality to sell records. This will be a real Sophies Choice for Reno I suppose
ReplyDeleteShe does rely on her sexuality just in a more girl next door type of way.
DeleteShe just writes bitchy songs & gives interviews hinting at who it is.
ReplyDeleteThe comment "Not even about a guy" makes most think it was Katy due to them both being with slutbag Mayer.
Why is everyone so obsessed with me?
ReplyDeleteOh, god...now I have to pick a different lunch table. And KP's locker is next to my homeroom. I can't even....
ReplyDeleteKaty is just mad because Taylor is a lady and did not let Mayer use the bathroom all over her lol
ReplyDeleteThe only thing stranger than Taylor's "blind" is Katy's comment.
ReplyDeleteI thought of Miley. Katy fits too though.
ReplyDeleteIf this were HS Swifty would be the good christian girl that all the teachers just think is so sweet & perfect, but doesn't actually have any friends because she talks shit about all of them behind their backs, & can't figure out why no one likes her.
ReplyDeleteTaylor has Karlie that's all she needs ; )
ReplyDeleteTotes, Shell.
ReplyDelete@ Shelly so true. Great comment!
ReplyDeleteLol @derek
ReplyDeleteJohn Mayer ruins everything. He broke up with Taylor because she wouldn't take a dump on him and Katy would because Katy figured, "Hey, I get the runs a lot... so, fuck it. Let's party, John!" I'm sure that was the genesis of all this bad blood.
ReplyDeleteBTW - I blame John Mayer for the Ebola virus and I'm pretty sure he's a member of ISIS. Later, suckholes!
I like where your head's at!
Deletethis is just stupid.
ReplyDeleteKaty is probably jealous that Taylor writes all her own music, and churns out constant hits.
ReplyDeleteSorry Katy, your last two songs have been whack.
I smell a "Cruel Intentions" remake.
ReplyDeleteYeah so taylor is the bad guy for writing songs about stuff that goes on in her life just like ever other songwriter does. Lol okay. Can't wait until she sells another million albums in the first week. Haters gonna hate
ReplyDelete@Jack. I can't believe how much I love that song.
DeleteI've played it a ridiculous amount of times, gayeld! I love Swifty.
DeleteI think even my 13-year old Taylor Swift fan is getting tired of hearing it.
DeleteToo bad!
Because Katy doesn't turn out constant hits and write most of her own music? Okay.
ReplyDeleteY'all know it. Team Katy!
I feel like we should get shirts printed with our respective teams on it Katy!
DeleteTaylor!
I don't get how this is a blind item if the person is named as the blind item.
ReplyDeleteIt probably is supposed to be the notorious non-confrontational Katy Perry, though:
Katy Perry hides under table to avoid Russell Brand at restaurant
I rather like Katie's tweet-made me chuckle.

ReplyDeleteI'm a little slow this morning, but get it now - Regina George was Rachel McAdams character in Mean Girls.
ReplyDeleteA cryptic message to an enemy? How very Facebook of her!
ReplyDeleteOff the top, pretty strange comments on both their parts. Taylor does sound genuinely uncomfortable and at a loss to understand the situation. Katy Perry's reply sounds defiant and seems to indicate she's the one Taylor is talking about. I think Katy's willingness to deliberately sabotage someone precludes her from being in a position to be warning others. I'd rather be bad mouthed, if that's what started this.

ReplyDeleteHere's a real shocker: No Popstar writes their own music, including Katy & Swifty, along with Nicky, Bey, RhiRhi, Miley, they are products.
ReplyDelete#TeamKaty-her tits shoot whipped cream. Can TayTay do that?
ReplyDeleteI suggest a mud wrestling match with Count as the referee.
Taylor writes her own tunes---the rest not so much
ReplyDeleteTeam Taylor Swift.
ReplyDeleteI am so over Katy Perry. She seems to be stuck in a tar pit of bubble gum.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see her actually grow and change as an artist and a person.
Say what you will about Swifty, she is a smart business woman keeps mostly out of the tabs, and knows how to dress.
Guess that makes me Team TayTay.
I think they both have a crappy sense of style TBH. But I agree otherwise.
DeleteI'm not nuts about either, but it seems it started before Mayer/Perry and after Mayer/Swift. Katy had a crush on him before she hooked up with Russell. (Brand was her second choice, I guess). From then they've both been doing the one-upsmanship crap.
ReplyDeleteGrow up girls.
By responding, Katy Perry told the world this is about her. If she'd kept her fingers off Twitter, no one would have known. Now we all know what we suspected, that Katy Perry is a BITCH. I'm team Taylor on this one.
ReplyDeleteI bet these two secretly hatched this plan to create drama.... and will make up very soon.
ReplyDeleteThey're laughing at us.
jack ducky there is nothing wrong with writing songs about your life but with Taylor it is becoming gimmicky and no true songwriter wants to be seen as that I would think.
ReplyDeleteI do not deny her remarkable talent and success, but to me, she seems a bit of a control freak pickle up the butt type so she maybe needs to Roar once in a while. Not that I am a big fan of either Swift or Perry.
I enjoy their songs on the rare occasion I listen to music on the radio or see them on a live TV show and Swift is the better live singer for sure, autotuner is Katy's friend.
I assumed it was either Demi or Selena...I think there's a pic of Taylor next to passive in the dictionary!
ReplyDeleteI read portions of the rest of the article and I have to say Tay comes across very well. As for whether this statement is bitchy, remember it's in context of the interview and the questions, and a good interviewer will get someone to open up. I don't listen to her music, but after that interview I like her!

ReplyDeleteSeriously though, it was sneaky of Katy to hire Taylor's dancers halfway through her tour. Shame on the 3 that abandoned Taylor too.
ReplyDeleteYawn. Couple of Mean Girls who just cannot be sure they are queen bee when the other is around.
ReplyDeleteAs for TSwizzle not relying on her sexuality, try that again when she's not pouting on the cover of Rolling Stone soaking wet showing off her nonexistent ass.
John Mayer likes mean girls but he has little to do with this. If it was not him it would be someone else.
It's not her sexuality that sells her music though. Considering her fanbase she doesn't have to be sexy and she still sells more than most other artists.
DeleteYou are blind if you think Taylor's work is not about her sexuality. She does not write about Big Balloons or her Lotus like Katy does but about how she is not like that - and that is sexuality too.
DeleteYeah, Swifty trying to transition now with her latest CD & be a sexy mainstream popstar & "actor". That RS cover just made me laugh, it makes me think of when they were trying to make Taylor Launter "a thing" & his RS cover.
ReplyDeleteWell if it isn't abut Katy Perry then she just made it about her. Lots of people think it was directed to Carrie Underwood but I think Katy is the best guess. Love a good feud.
ReplyDeleteSo, what did Katy tweet?
ReplyDeleteSwifty's image was good christian country music girl, & her songs her about high school topics. The record label didn't want her looking sexy.
ReplyDeleteNow she's older, now TayTay is being sexualized. Which is why the RS cover in a wet tank top is out now.
Tay was becoming a joke singing about high school still at her age & dressing the way she does.
ReplyDeleteHer management is trying to mainstream her & sexulize her.
Tay has some arrested development though, she's been too sheltered for too long. I can't read her interviews, she is just such an idiot. She needs some real world experience.
I personally think Taylor Swift is an excellent role model for young girls. We make fun of her...but overall, she's a decent celeb IMO.
ReplyDeleteI think Katy Perry comes across as a tough girl and to a person's face, would speak her mind. I could see Taylor being a bit catty and sneaky...a little mean girlish. These girls are only human, and I personally think everyone has their quirks and their perks.
I also think John Mayer has EVERYTHING to do with it.
Gawd Taylor , let her tyres down or something. Just STFU. Or how about this one .....ignore her !!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds more like Xtina.
ReplyDeleteGirl gives more shade than a beach umbrella.
No one in the real world would think that someone we meet & exchange pleasantries with at a work event is our friend.
ReplyDeleteI think this just shows how shelter Swift has been.
Taylor will get her own comeuppance when someone (Katy Perry?) finally writes a song shitting all over her, and she won't have grounds to complain, because that's literally all that her songs do to other people.
ReplyDelete(I don't get this "Taylor is such a great role model" BS. ALL she does is shit all over other people.)
ReplyDeleteAnd how old were these two again? 15?
ReplyDeleteOnly those two could make a chick fight boring...
ReplyDeleteITA Brian. Elton John and Madge did it better.
ReplyDelete1st john is the one who just shits on other people
ReplyDeletetaylor will get her comeuppance when katy writes a song about her??
no katy writes nothing, she is a product of dr luke and autotune and takes all of his shit because if he didn't work his magic on her she would have no career
katy also stole ROAR from sarah barallis and renamed it roar, she had heard sarahs version and stole it
taylor DOES WRITE ALL HER OWN SONGS and her dad co-owns her record label too so she isn't hurting for money.
taylor also has full support of her family which has to irk the shit out of katy whos family constantly talks shit about katys devil music..
team taytay

ReplyDeleteam i the only one who took this as Katy Perry talking about Swifty?!?!? No???!!!
ReplyDeleteI thriw no shade at swift. Authors and song writers use their life in their writing. Nothing new there. If it was a man, everyone wld be, ahhh, look at him in touch with feelings, thats so touching. But its a woman, so its catty and jejeune. Bollocks. Mb perry did try to screw her over business wise, and if so, she has to take the blowback. Its show BUSINESS folks, as i keep saying.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand Katy Perry. I hope this is her because her music totally sucks!!!! It just a bunch of shouty annoying music that I wish would GO AWAY!!! It's no wonder all her biggest fans are like 5-years-old, they haven't developed taste yet. I couldn't care either way about Taylor Swift, but at least she has talent.
ReplyDeleteBoth of them, and their shit music make me carsick.
ReplyDeleteI remember last year that Katy had a few of Taylor's dancers break their contract (while on tour with Taylor) to come dance on her tour. Taylor was forced to find replacements at the last minute. She has a right to be mad.
ReplyDeleteAs is always the case with Swift, the timing of this isn't coincidence. Taylor is very shrewd about her public image (that's not a criticism, by the way, I respect that about her) and she knows that her pattern of high-profile relationships/bearding arrangements was being ridiculed. Hence her metamorphosis into a girls' girl. It's quite brilliant PR, really, because by hanging out with famous and successful young women, she still gets the publicity.
ReplyDeleteThis 'mean girl' story helps shore up the new image, because by passive-aggressively criticizing another woman for being catty and competitive, Taylor, by contrast, looks more female-friendly.
Well played, Taylor.
Looks like it's confirmed...

Sorry there's no hyperlink. I'm on my phone and can't figure out how to do it. :/
ReplyDeleteThis is the old girl vs woman test.
ReplyDeleteIf your s.o. still engages in this type of thing, either starting or responding, she's still just a girl. Women don't play this stupid kiddie school games shit.
Damn, these ladies are pushing 30 or close to it, and still doing this stuff. No wonder their men flee like villagers being chased by Frankenstein.
She may be over 21, but she still acts like she's 13. Passive aggressive little twit.
ReplyDelete@Northbynorthwest
ReplyDeleteinteresting analysis Yoj
ReplyDelete#teamanyonewhoisnotthesetwo. Neither Katy nor Taylor are great vocalists. Taylor tends to have a monotonic sound that is a somewhat flat when she sings, and Katy---well autotune is her friend. Maybe Katy IS trying to warn us about the wolf in sheep's clothing that is Swifty. Let the mud slinging begin.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember the "Rumors" Album? Fleetwood Mac's record breaking album was filled with angst, cheating, falling in and out of love...with each other. Writing about relationships is nothing new..as for both I think I heard one song from each and frankly I'd rather my grand-daughters listen to Stevie Nicks
ReplyDelete...and none for you, Gretchen Wieners!
ReplyDeleteredronnie,, i meant to reference fleetwood mac in my above post and forgot.. thanks for posting.. funny how people forget when the mamas and papas wrote all about the affairs within the group as did fm they sold millions and became legends, but swifty does it and she's a mean girl who can't grow up and develop proper coping skills
ReplyDeletei think yoj perfectly summed up her strategy to shift from maneater to every girl's girl as a shrewd pr move that women can trust.
let's not forget paul mccartney also rode songs directed at linda's 1st husband too..
the beatles did it too ya'll..
Taylor is younger, so she has that on Perry.

George Harrison-all of em
Don Henley-the ones George didn't write-
these young women got nothing on the old Boys' angst-filled auto-bios.
I have a soft spot for Taylor b/c of all the kind things she does at Children's Hospitals.
Wow this story is everywhere this morning! And they openly name Katy Perry.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Taylor's version of the story is up for debate:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.idolator.com/7534265/taylor-swift-bad-blood-katy-perry-feud-stolen-dancers
I don't see TS as Regina George. More like Tracy Flick. And yes, she does use her sexuality - as in 'you can't have it'.
And did they photoshop her nipple out of that wet t-shirt on the Rolling Stone cover?
PR stunt to promote new album.
