Taylor Swift and Katy Perry had a pretty famous feud that went on for years and ended in 2019, but what actually happened between the pop stars?

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry started off as close friends as their rise to fame came at similar times.
So, fans were confused and upset when finding out the pair had fallen out, which led to a seriously long feud between the pop stars and lasted for years.
The mother-of-one and ‘Folklore’ songstress patched things up in 2019, but what actually happened between the singers? And what was the reason behind their feud?

Things all seemed pretty tight-knit between Katy and Taylor throughout 2008-2013 before rumours started flying about that they had stumbled on some differences, in December 2013.
The pair had apparently turned into frenemies due to the backup dancers for Tay’s tour jumping ship and going on to tour with Katy instead.
This started their huge rift, with some fans wondering if their ex John Mayer, who they dated two years apart, also played a part in why they started to distance from each other.
The following year, it was thought that Tay’s ‘Bad Blood’ was inspired by her confusing relationship with the ‘Roar’ songstress, and so the feud continued.
After years of subtle digs and cryptic lyrics about each other, their friendship reignited after Tay asked Katy to appear in her ‘You Need To Calm Down’ music video.
Speaking about why they patched things up, Katy spoke with Ellen, revealing: “We have such big groups of people who like to follow us - and so they kinda started turning against each other a little bit, too, and it was really unfortunate.
"I'm all about redemption and forgiveness and for setting an example for those younger people, that it can be cool to ask for forgiveness, and confront someone that you may have an issue with or a problem with and talk it out."
In true Tay style, she gave the most heartwarming gift to Katy Perry and her beau, Orlando Bloom, after they welcomed their first baby girl, Daisy.
The ‘Fearless’ star gave Katy a hand-sewn blanket and warmed fans’ hearts everywhere!
Katy has also gone on to mention the word ‘collaboration’ a few times, which we would so be here for, btw.
The ‘Fireworks’ hitmaker most recently teased a collab with Tay after saying during an American Idol episode, which aired on March 22: “Can you imagine if Taylor and I work together, what we could do?”

The "girl fight" is one of pop culture's oldest—and most reductive—practices. You can trace this phenomenon back to Bette Davis and Joan Crawford's decades-long industry-created "feud," and it has continued steadily since then, especially in the realm of pop music. Madonna vs. Janet Jackson, Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera, Remy Ma vs. Nicki Minaj…the list goes on and on. Society essentially trains women (and audiences) to think they have a shelf life in entertainment, causing them to view other female performers as competition—and thus enemies. It's a practice rooted in sexism, and it really needs to stop.
Unfortunately, the appetite for pitting women against each other is still pretty strong, though people are starting to show signs of fatigue. Exhibit A: Taylor Swift and Katy Perry . The two pop stars duked it out in the tabloids for years, and fans ate it up for a while—until they didn't. Now, in 2020, it appears their feud has been squashed. But let's take a look at how we got from there to here.
This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.
Not to quote this feud's literal theme song, but Swift and Perry's relationship actually began with, well, mad love. Swift was a big fan of Perry's song "Waking Up in Vegas," and she took to Twitter in 2009 to gush about it. "Watching the 'Waking Up in Vegas' video. I love Katy Perry. I think I'm going to hang her poster on my wall now." Perry thanked Swift for the kind words, calling her "sweet as pie" and even suggesting they write a song together about a "subject [they] know best." What did she mean by that?

Two thousand and nine was a good year for these two. The drama was low, and the social media lovin' was high. "@Katyperry knows how to throw a birthday party! I would even go as far as to say it was party-licious," Swift tweeted. "Best EVER. Happy bday, pretty girl!!" What a simpler time!

Perry joined Swift on her Fearless tour for this cute duet. You could say this was the calm before the storm.
And now we're at the storm. Three of Perry's California Dreams tour dancers were offered spots on Swift's Red tour. However, these dancers left before Swift's tour ended to join Perry on her Prismatic tour. This incident is the root cause of Swift and Perry's feud.
And what did this singer do to piss Swift off? "It had to do with business," Swift told RS. "She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me." We didn't know it then, but Swift was describing the backup dancer debacle that happened in 2013—that's what most people think, at least. To this day Swift hasn't confirmed anything.
But the message Perry tweeted shortly after Swift's interview went live kind of did. "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing..." she wrote, which many people took to be about Swift.

“I’m not giving them anything to write about,” Swift told the Telegraph . “I’m not walking up the street with boys, I’m not stumbling out of clubs drunk. But I’m never going to talk about her in my interview. It’s not going to happen.” (Swift never said the “her” she was referring to was Perry, but people read between the lines.)

Fans immediately took this as a knock at Perry, whose shark-clad dancer from the 2015 Super Bowl (i.e., Left Shark) became an internet sensation.
The rapper found herself smack-dab in the middle of Perry and Swift's feud when she tweeted about her video "Anaconda" not receiving a Video of the Year nomination for the 2015 MTV VMAs. "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year," Minaj wrote, which Swift read as a jab directed at her. ("Bad Blood," which featured Swift and several of her supermodel BFFs, was nominated.)
"I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot," Swift tweeted at Minaj. Queen Nicki said her tweet wasn't about Swift—or any artist in particular—but that didn't stop Perry from making this comment on Twitter:

"Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman," Perry wrote.
"I never said anything that would point a finger in the specific direction of one specific person, and I can sleep at night knowing that," Swift told GQ . "I knew the song would be assigned to a person, and the easiest mark was someone who I didn’t want to be labeled with this song. It was not a song about heartbreak. It was about the loss of friendship." At this point, however, we all knew exactly who this song was about.
Swift did not attend, but many took this as a sign a truce was in sight. They were wrong.
Before we knew this, though, people thought Perry actually tweeted, "miss u baby," to Swift. Unfortunately, it was just a hack. The drama still raged on.
…which is a lyric in "Bad Blood." Subtle.
Harris's Twitter tirade stemmed from "What You Came For" credit drama, but he managed to throw in a comment about Perry in between his other gripes. "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," he wrote . Perry responded with a Hillary Clinton GIF and a retweet from 2015: "Time, the ultimate truth teller."

What Harris meant by "bury" is still a mystery, but his tweet seemed to confirm that Swift did have some kind of grudge against Perry—as if that needed confirming.

We'd soon learn what Perry meant by this.

She posted a clip of herself dancing at the exact moment West raps about Swift. If you forget, this is the song that caused all the drama between Swift, West, and Kim Kardashian. West claimed Swift approved of him calling her a "bitch" in the song, but she says she never green-lighted the verse. This feud came to a head when Kardashian released a private conversation between West and Swift, which proved Swift was cool with the song...but not necessarily the "bitch" lyric. The fact Perry shared a video of herself jamming out to this song is shady, to say the least.
"There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person," Perry told Entertainment Weekly about her album, which everyone believed— until they heard "Swish Swish." The track, which clearly is a response to Perry's haters, contains lyrics like, "You're about as cute as an old coupon expired" and "Your game is tired; you should retire."

Perry confirmed everything during her ride with James Corden. She said that yes, there's a situation between her and Swift, and yes, it's about backup dancers. Perry also said she tried to talk to Swift about the incident, but Swift ignored her and instead chose to "write a song." Could that song perhaps be "Bad Blood"? Here's everything Perry told Corden:
"Honestly, [Swift] started it, and it's time for her to finish it.
It's about backing dancers. It's so crazy. There [are] three backing
dancers that went on tour with her tour, and they asked me before they
went on tour if they could go. I was like, 'Yeah, of course. I'm not
on a record cycle. Get the work. She's great. But I will be on a
record cycle, probably, in about a year, so be sure to put a 30-day
contingency in your contract so you can get out if you wanna join me
when I say I'm going back on.' So that year came up, and I texted all
of them because I'm very close with them. I said, 'Look, just FYI: I'm
about to start. I want to put the word out there.' They said, 'Okay.
We're gonna go talk to management about it.' They did, and they got
fired. I tried to talk to [Swift] about it, and she wouldn't speak to
me. I do the right thing anytime that it feels like a fumble. It was a
full shutdown, and then she writes a song about me. And I'm like 'Okay,
cool, cool. That's how you wanna do it? Karma.'"
