To set the scene, Luke Bryan asked a contestant who he looks up to, and the contestant replies: “I‘m sorry for this Katy, Taylor Swift.”
“Oh, you don’t have to be sorry,” Katy Perry quickly tells him.
“I love Taylor Swift,” he adds.
“I love her, as a songwriter, as well,” she returns.
It’s hard to put into words the look she gave next. But one thing’s for sure, the shade is real.
To recap, this ridiculous feud got started when Katy and Taylor had a disagreement about their backup dancers.
“So there are three backing dancers that went on tour with her, right?” Katy explains during an episode of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden.
“They asked me before they went on tour if they could go, and I was like, ‘Yeah, of course. I’m not on a record cycle and get the work, and she’s great and all that. But I will be on a record cycle in about a year, so be sure to put a 30-day contingency in your contract so you can get out if you want to join me when I say I’m going back on.’
“So that year came up, right,” Katy continues. “And I texted all of them – because I’m very close with them – and I said, ‘Look, just FYI, I’m about to start, I want to put the word out there.’ And they said, ‘Alright, we’re going to talk to management about it.’ And they did. And they got fired.”
After sharing her side of the story, Katy then tried to end the feud once and for all. “I love her, I always have,” Katy says on Australia’s Today show.
“God bless her on her journey.”
But based on Katy’s recent comment, it sounds like the beef won’t be ending anytime soon.
