Katy Perry recently expressed her support for Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department. Perry confirmed that she listened to the album, as did the rest of the world. This comes after Perry, along with other celebrities, attended Swift’s Eras Tour show in Australia in February. Perry shared photos and videos from the concert on Instagram, including a clip of herself singing “Bad Blood” and a selfie with Swift backstage, indicating that their past feud is now behind them.
The feud between Perry and Swift began in 2009 and escalated over the years, particularly after both dated John Mayer. Rumors circulated that Perry had recruited Swift’s backup dancers, leading to speculation about a beef between them. Swift never confirmed that “Bad Blood” was about Perry, but she explained that it was about a professional betrayal. Despite their history, by 2019, it appeared that the two had put their feud behind them, with Perry appearing in Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” music video and the pair hugging it out at parties.
Swift discussed their reconciliation during an interview on the U.K.’s Capital Breakfast radio show in June, stating that they had hugged it out, talked about things, and wanted to ensure they were on good terms before making it public. Perry also spoke about their friendship on KIIS 1065’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show, mentioning that they have a lot in common and that they should celebrate their friendship and be there for each other. This reconciliation occurred as Swift released her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19, featuring 31 songs.
The public reconciliation between Perry and Swift was a significant moment for fans who had been following the feud between the two music icons. The end of the feud was marked by Perry’s attendance at Swift’s concert and their interactions at parties, as well as Perry’s appearance in Swift’s music video. Despite the drama surrounding their past interactions, it seems that Perry and Swift have resolved their differences and are now on good terms, supporting each other’s careers and celebrating their friendship.
The support shown by Perry towards Swift’s new album indicates that their friendship continues to thrive. Fans of both artists are delighted to see them put their past feud behind them and move forward in a positive way. The reconciliation between Perry and Swift serves as a reminder that conflicts can be resolved, and relationships can be repaired if both parties are willing to communicate and work towards understanding and forgiveness. The public display of support from Perry towards Swift’s music is a testament to the strength of their bond and the importance of valuing and nurturing friendships in the entertainment industry.
