American singer and songwriter, Katy Perry is
ready to bury the hatchet on her long-running
feud with pop rival Taylor Swift.
Katy Perry and Taylor Swift
Perry, described Swift, as a “fantastic songwriter”
and expressed the hope that they can be
examples of strong women in the music industry.
However, Swift, 27, had yet to respond to the
olive branch on Sunday and end the bad blood
between two of pop music’s biggest female
singers.
“I am ready to let it go,” Perry said in a global
podcast on Saturday to promote her new album
“Witness.”
“I forgive her (Swift) and I’m sorry for anything I
ever did, and I hope the same from her. I love
her, and I want the best for her. And I think
she’s a fantastic songwriter,” Perry, 32, added.
The feud, which started as a dispute over back
up dancers, has dominated the personal and
professional lives of the two singers for more
than three years and played out in their songs.
Swift on Friday released her back catalogue to
streaming services, after eschewing most such
platforms for three years, on the same day that
Perry released her new album “Witness” in what
was widely seen as a bid to steal Perry’s
thunder.
Swift’s 2014 single “Bad Blood” was believed to
be directed at Perry.
Perry described her new single, “Swish Swish,”
released last month, as “a great anthem for
people to use whenever somebody’s trying to
hold you down or bully you.”
In her Saturday podcast, Perry said she hoped
both she and Swift “can be representatives of
strong women that come together despite their
differences.”
“I just really truly want to come together in a
place of love and forgiveness and understanding
and compassion,” Perry said.
Swift, who has not released an album since
2014’s best-selling “1989” and has adopted a low
public profile in recent months, stayed silent on
her social media accounts at the weekend.
