Let's start from the very starting, we could?

July 2009. First there has been mad love

Taylor became keen to proportion the mad love for Katy's Waking Up In Vegas. And Katy turned into dead thankful for her kind phrases.

Tay-Tay then tweeted about Katy throwing a swell birthday celebration in October 2009. She even referred to as her "pretty woman".

@Katyperry knows how to throw a birthday celebration! I could even pass as a long way as to say it turned into celebration-licious. Best EVER. Happy bday, pretty woman!!

In fact, between 2009 and 2011 Taylor and Katy had been the nice of pals. During this time, Taylor had a brief romance with John Mayer. Which, it's notion, is what Taylor's 2010 music Dear John is ready.

Katy then ended up dating John in 2012. Although this isn't a direct trouble, nobody virtually likes their boyfriend's ex/or their ex's new female friend, proper?

2012. Bad blood

In 2012, 3 of Katy's California Dreams world tour dancers have been provided an area on Taylor's Red global excursion.

One dancer, Lockhart Brownlie, claimed that during the excursion with Taylor, Katy's people reached out to peer if he and other dancers (Scott Myrick and Leah Adler) would carry out on the arena tour for Katy's album Prism, released in 2013. The handiest trouble was that they had must leave Taylor's tour before its completion. All 3 agreed.

Lockhart says he had a higher dating with Katy, and that he wasn't doing a great deal dancing at some stage in Taylor shows, so he became eager to get caught into the Prism excursion.

Speaking to Australian daily newspaper The Examiner, Lockhart defined: "Obviously we had been with Katy for 2 and a half years, she's like own family to us. So we have been, like, 'Absolutely'. We weren't sincerely dancing in Taylor's tour anyway, so I had were given a touch bored and I clearly wanted to do a promo tour."

He persisted: "Taylor may be very untouchable. When we did see her, we had a lot a laugh along with her, however she's loads greater blanketed than Katy.

"Katy's 28 now and may do her very own thing. Her team are so lovely, so we've got one of these precise connection. And this time around she is lots greater in control."

Lockhart and his fellow tour dancers were treated to considered one of Taylor's now mythical Independence Day shindigs. But quickly after their decision to exchange indicates, Taylor stopped following them on Twitter and they have been eliminated from her tour. Burn.

September 2014. Rolling Stone magazine

The first signal of a feud came during Taylor's interview with Rolling Stone mag in 2014.

Taylor divulged info of her crumbling relationship with an unnamed lady celeb.

"For years, I changed into by no means certain if we were pals or not. She might come up to me at awards indicates and say something and stroll away, and I would think, 'Are we pals, or did she just supply me the most harsh insult of my life?'

"She did some thing so terrible. I became like, 'Oh, we are just directly-up enemies'. And it wasn't even approximately a man! It had to do with enterprise.

"She essentially attempted to sabotage an entire area tour. She tried to hire a bunch of human beings out from beneath me. And I'm exceptionally non-confrontational - you would no longer believe how a great deal I hate warfare. So now I should keep away from her. It's awkward, and I do not find it irresistible.

"I recognize humans will make it this large female-fight component. But I simply need people to realize it's no longer approximately a guy."

The day after the RS interview got here out, Katy tweeted: "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing..."

Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's garb...

Taylor then announced that she'd in no way talk at once approximately Katy in an interview.

"I'm not giving [the press] anything to write down approximately," she stated. "I'm in no way going to speak approximately her in my interview. It's no longer going to manifest."

She later concluded: "It's now not actual if someone seems to by no means have any problems with everyone. I have my pals. I even have enemies."

July 2015. Left Shark

Remember how Katy had a couple of dancing sharks as backing dancers as soon as? Well throughout a performance of Bad Blood (the tune approximately Katy), one in every of Taylor's backing dancers seemed dressed as a shark. Bit bizarre...

August 2015. Nicki Minaj vs Taylor Swift vs Katy Perry

In August 2015, Taylor ended up going in a mini feud with Nicki Minaj.

The fallout among all commenced whilst Nicki got pissed off that Taylor had received the MTV VMA Best Video award for Blank Space, and counseled that her Anaconda video wasn't even nominated as she is not "white" or "very slim". She mainly stated: "If
your video celebrates girls with very narrow bodies, you'll be nominated for
vid of the year. "

Taylor thought Nicki's rant changed into directed at her (which it likely became, tbh...) and tweeted: "I've performed not anything however love & support you. It's not like you to pit women towards every different. Maybe one of the men took your slot.

Nicki later stated that her tweets had "nothing" to do with Taylor.

But that did not forestall Katy getting worried. She tweeted: "Finding it ironic to parade the pit ladies in opposition to different women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..."

Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other girls argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a girl...

Katy regarded to be accusing Taylor of being hypocritical, seeing as Bad Blood changed into seemingly written approximately the breakdown of her former friendship with Katy

And its superstar-studded tune video (featuring Lena Dunham, Ellie Goulding and Selena Gomez) be could be interpreted as Taylor reinforcing who she's were given in her corner.

July 2015. 1984

Katy registered a song referred to as 1984 in July 2015, which appeared find it irresistible is probably a nod to Taylor's ultra-modern album 1989 (or maybe it became approximately George Orwell novel. But probable not). Though Katy's rep told DigitalSpy that it had nothing to do with Taylor, adding: "Katy Perry turned into no longer concerned in writing, making a song, recording or registering this music."

February 2016. A truce?

In February 2016 things were looking exact for a truce among the pair. Katy placed Taylor at the guestlist for a private pre-Grammys party called An Evening To Celebrate The Creators.

June 2015. Nah, the feud's again on

He particularly introduced up taylor's feud with Katy, announcing: "I understand you are off excursion and also you want someone new to attempt to bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it."

But right here's the killer... Katy retweeted her personal tweet from May 2015.

Time, the closing truth teller.

May 2017. Is Katy's album a respond to Bad Blood?

"It's not about that. Honestly, when girls come collectively and they determine to unite, this global is going to be a better area. Period quit of tale."
