Katy Perry calls out Swift for insulting her with ‘Bad Blood’
LOS ANGELES: The acrimony between singers Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have yet to fizzle out, judging by Perry’s latest tirade.
She’s still simmering over Swift’s use of the song “Bad Blood” to toss insults her way.
During a buzzy episode of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, Perry disclosed that the origins of the feud were backup dancers.
Ventilated Perry: “Well, ( Late Late Show host) James Corden makes me and the whole world feel very safe,” Perry said. “No one has asked me about my side of the story, and there are three sides of every story: one, two, and the truth.”
For Perry, it was important to speak up about the situation.
“I mean, things irritate me,” she said. “I wish that I could turn the other cheek every single time, but I’m also not a pushover, you know? Especially when someone tries to assassinate my character with little girls ( her fans). That’s so messed up!”
The feud between Perry and Swift had started over a disagreement about backup dancers. Swift later hired Perry’s longtime collaborator Max Martin to help write “Bad Blood,” which laid bare their feud.
Added a furious Perry: “I can’t speak for ( Max), but he didn’t know (who ‘ Bad Blood’ was about),” she said. “I’m not supposed to tell him what he can and can’t do. I’m very fair; I’m super- duper fair and I’m not one of those people who’s like, ‘You can’t do that because I don’t like that person’. Just, like, you do you, make your own choices… I’m not his mother.”
