Taylor Swift Wrote A Diss Track About Katy Perry Called “Bad Blood”?
Don’t cross Taylor Swift or she’ll write a song about you. That commandment should be added to the Bible as a modern-day amendment along with one about not saving nudes to iCloud. But I digress. It looks like Katy Perry is the latest pop star to incur the “Shake It Off” diva’s wrath.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, the 24-year-old admitted to writing a song about one of her rivals (who she refused to name) on her new LP called “Bad Blood”. “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?'” Taylor recounted before getting more specific. “She did something so horrible… 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.”
Internet detectives were quick to point the finger at Katy. It seems that some of the dancers on her Prismatic tour previously worked with Taylor before jumping ship. If so, this is the reformed country crooner’s most immature grudge yet. The people in question were originally part of Perry’s Teenage Dream extravaganza and were probably just showing some loyalty. See the Twitter fall-out after the jump.
