IT is no secret that Taylor Swift allegedly wrote Bad Blood about Katy Perry but now her rival is hitting back with a song of her own.

Perry, 30 and Swift, 25, allegedly fell out after Perry reportedly “stole” some of Swift’s back-up dancers.

“For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not,” she told Rolling Stone about a fellow female pop star without naming names. “She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?’”

“She did something so horrible,” Swift says. “I was like, ‘Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies.’ And it wasn’t even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I’m surprisingly non-confrontational — you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It’s awkward, and I don’t like it.”

Perry hit back with a tweet that said “watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing ...” referencing Rachel McAdams’ character in the movie Mean Girls.

Swift roped in many of her famous friends for the music video for Bad Blood, a song that is said to be about Perry.

Now the Teenage Dream singer is said to be hitting back.

Earlier this year she told Billboard about the rift, “if somebody is trying to defame my character, you’re going to hear about it.”

BreathHeavy.com reports that Perry has registered a new song called 1984 with music label BMI.

Given that Swift’s 1989 album was the one that targeted Perry it seems that the Firework singer is planning a little take down of her own.

We can’t wait to hear it.
