Who could ever have thought that the girl who seems to be the sweetest one in the music industry had enemies?
In an interview she gave to Rolling Stone, popstar Taylor Swift revealed that the song “Bad Blood” on her soon-to-be-released new album 1989 was about a fellow unnamed female artist she does not seem to appreciate.
“For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not,” she explained. “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?”
However, according to the Red singer, the real feud began last year: “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.”
Following these statements, fans and media have been trying to find out who this unkind and nasty artist could be. Suspicions first fell on Miley Cyrus and then, just a few hours after the release of the interview, popstar Katy Perry tweeted this mysterious line on her account

Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing…
— KATY PERRY (@katyperry) September 9, 2014
This reference to Regina George (the name of the meanest girl in the Mean Girls movie) soon ended in huge fan wars on Twitter, Swifties claiming that treacherous Katy Perry was a little brat and Katycats replying that Taylor Swift had deliberately exaggerated the situation.
What seemed to have happened can be found in an interview that dancer Lockhart Brownlie gave to the Australia Examiner last December:
“I was with Taylor for the first six months [of 2013], it was a great experience and she’s a great person to work with, but then Katy contacted us,” she explained. “Obviously we were with Katy for 2 1/2 years, she’s like family to us, so we were, like, ‘absolutely’.”
Another fellow dancer, Dominic, added that he switched tours because according to him, “We weren’t really dancing in Taylor’s tour anyway so I had got a little bored, and I really wanted to do a promo tour.” He also pointed out the fact that, “The experiences were completely different. Taylor is very untouchable. When we did see her, we had so much fun with her, but she’s a lot more protected than Katy. Katy’s 28 now and can do her own thing. Her team are so lovely, so we have such a good connection. And this time around she is a lot more in control.”
So, what do you think? Which side are you on?
To me, it’s no big deal. Let’s shake it off.
