Why Katy Perry Spoke Out About Taylor Swift Feud

Adjust Comment Print

Taylor Swift is celebrating sailing past 100 million song sales by releasing her entire back catalogue on all streaming services tonight.

Perry recently claimed that Swift was the one who "started" the feud and addressed rumours that her new song "Swish Swish" is about her rival.

Fans certainly saw a connection, with many taking to Twitter to speculate over Swift's motives.

According to Swift's announcement, Taylor's sudden streaming backflip is "in celebration of [latest album] 1989 selling over 10 million albums worldwide" and a way for her to "thank her fans".

After all, the beef between the two still seems to be simmering and Swift has previously been emphatic about her opposition to streaming services. "Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation", she wrote in an open letter in 2015.

"There's a situation", Katy Perry told US TV host James Corden.

In 2014, Swift pulled her music from Spotify, claiming that it doesn't compensate what the artist deserves.

The "Shake It Off" hitmaker famously removed her music from streaming services in 2014, slamming companies for not paying artists proper royalties during free trials. To release your entire music catalogue just to say "F*ck you" to one specific person?

At the time, Swifty explained her decision to leave services such as Spotify and Pandora in an interview with Time magazine, revealing: 'I'm always up for trying something.

Yeesh. It looks like the bad blood between these two isn't clearing up any time soon.

Perry confirmed that she had taken three of Swift's dancers during but said she had tried to discuss the matter privately.

Perry has spoken out about the tension with her former friend. Especially when someone tries to assassinate my character with little girls [her fans].
