Katy Perry responds to her infamous feud with Taylor Swift on Carpool Karaoke

KATY Perry had some choice words about her longstanding feud with Taylor Swift, telling Carpool Karaoke host James Corden it’s time for Swift to end it.

JAMES Corden’s Carpool Karaoke segment is magic in its ability to coax secrets out of celebrities.
For Adele, Corden managed to get the British powerhouse to reveal she’s an insane rapper and for Justin Bieber, the late night host forced the singer to prove his rubix cube skills.

And, Corden seems to have done it again — by getting Katy Perry to finally talk about her longstanding feud with Taylor Swift.

Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have been sniping each other for years.

Both singers have shaded each other for years with both of them turning the feud into lyrical fodder — Perry with Swish Swish and Swift with Bad Blood — but despite the digs being ridiculously obvious, neither have directly admitted to the feud — at least until now.

When Corden asked the Bon Appetit singer about the fight, Perry finally told him how it was.

“There’s a situation,” she said. “Honestly, it’s really like she started it, and it’s time for her to finish it.”

Perry then explained that the feud had originated with a fight over backing dancers.

“It’s about backing dancers. It’s so crazy! OK, so there are three backing dancers that went on tour with her tour, right? And they asked me before they went on tour if they could go, and I was like, ‘Yeah, of course. I’m not on a record cycle, and get the work, and she’s great and all that. But I will be on a record cycle in about a year, so be sure to put a 30-day contingency in your contract so you can get out if you want to join me when I say I’m going back on.’ So that year came up, right? And I texted all of them—because I’m very close with them—and I said, ‘Look, just FYI: I’m about to start, I want to put the word out there.’ And they said, ‘All right, we’re going to talk to management about it.’ And they did. And they got fired. And I tried to talk to her about it, and she wouldn’t speak to me.”

“I do the right thing any time that it feels like a fumble,” she said.

“It was a full shutdown and then she writes a song about me, and I’m like, OK, cool, cool, cool, that’s how you want to deal with it? Karma!”

And, considering how much drama has come from the longstanding feud, Perry told the late night host she is well and truly ready to put it behind her.

“What I want to say is that I’m ready for that BS to be done. Now, there is the law of cause and effect. You do something, there’s going to be a reaction, and trust me daddy, there’s going to be a reaction. It’s all about karma, right? I think personally that women together, not divided, and none of this petty bulls**t, women together will heal the world.”

No word yet on whether or not the two pop princesses will end their feud, but considering Katy Perry’s new single (and diss track) Swish Swish only dropped on Friday, they might still need a bit of a cooling-off period.
