What was the tea on the rift between Katy and Taylor?

In the video shared by Katy herself, she can be seen enjoying the rendition of "Bad Blood," a song widely speculated to be a diss track aimed at Perry from Swift's 2014 album, 1989. The feud between the two music icons ignited in 2014 when Swift accused Perry of attempting to undermine her arena tour by poaching her backup dancers.

During an old interview with Rolling Stone, Taylor once said, "For years, I was uncertain about the nature of my relationship with [this singer]. She would approach me at awards shows, say something, and then walk away, leaving me wondering whether we were friends or if she had just delivered the most cutting insult of my life."

This public spat escalated further with Perry's cryptic tweet, referencing "Regina George in sheep's clothing." However, signs of reconciliation emerged with Perry's cameo in Swift's music video for "You Need to Calm Down."
