2. She Has Beef With Katy Perry Over Backup Dancers
Theres a lot of allegedly to this story, but if you piece it all together, it makes sense. On 1989, her most recent album, Taylor talks trash about a fellow pop star in the song "Bad Blood." When asked about it in her recent Rolling Stone profile, we got a couple more hints; this mystery pop star hired some dancers away from Taylors concert tour, and hired them for her own tour. Based on this timing (and an interview with one of the backup dancers), its likely that Taylors new 'frenemy' is Katy Perry. But since that interview, Taylor has declined to elaborate any further. There will be no Pop Princess Showdown instead, the public will have to satisfy itself with passive aggressive tweets.
