Katy Perry throws shade at Taylor Swift in ‘Elle’

Oh God, I’m so, so bored of the Katy Perry and Taylor Swift feud. It’s the most boring, vanilla celebrity bullshit in the entire world. They used to be really close, then Katy stole Taylor’s dancers for some tour or something (but didn’t really steal them because they apparently worked for Katy first) and now it’s some whole thing that is seriously putting me to sleep just to type. And that’s coming from someone who likes them both.

Katy was rumoured to be planning a big “Gotcha!” at Taylor’s expense during the Super Bowl, which never happened (though apparently the dancing sharks had something to do with it?). Instead, Katy shot off at the mouth to Elle magazine, where she cast not-so-subtle shade in Taylor’s direction for being seen as America’s sweetheart.

“You’ve got to name someone the villain, someone the princess, someone the mom-, the dad-type—you know there always have to be characters. As pop figures, we’re all characters. And the media uses that. Who is the sweetheart, who is the villain? You know. Taylor‘s the sweetheart. Kanye‘s the villain. That’s the narrative.”

I mean, why even bring Kanye into this? Trying to position yourself as super progressive and cool, Katy? To me, this just reads like someone who’s a bit butt hurt about Taylor’s success (despite her own), but whatever.

I’m over this nonsense, and both of them need to be, as well, because Taylor is petty, too. Grow up, ladies.

  • Prism sucked while every damn time ‘Shake it Off’ comes on the radio, I crank that shit and laugh when my wife rolls her eyes. If it’s any consolation to Katy Perry though, I’d rather bang her than Swifty…so there’s that :-)

  • It was the polka dot high waisted bikinis. But you know Katy is around 30 and acting like a teenager which is how 25 or so TayTay always acts and hangs out with.
