Katy Perry has apparently lashed out at Taylor Swift’s eagerly anticipated “Bad Blood” video after rumours circulated that the song was a response to a feud between the two.
According to Hollywood Life, Katy Perry branded the video “a little desperate”.
An insider apparently told the publication: “She saw it, she thought the video was a little desperate and that she tried too hard.”
Taylor at the Billboard Music Awards this weekend.
Bad Blood is the 4th single to be released from Taylor’s album 1989 and is rumoured to be a response to an alleged feud that started when Katy tried to hire all of Taylor’s back up dancers, jeopardising Taylor’s tour.
Referring to Katy’s reaction to the song, the source said: “She felt slighted with the song but the video didn’t really bother her.”
Before the drama – at the American Music Awards in 2011.
The star-studded video sees Taylor’s alter ego “Catastrophe” come head to head with her arch nemesis “Arsyn” a.k.a. Selena Gomez.
Also starring are Lena Dunham, Cara Delevigne, Cindy Crawford, Ellie Goulding, Lily Aldridge and Mariska Hargitay among others.
The video has received an overwhelmingly positive response online since it’s debut – which might make Katy’s comments a little easier for Taylor to shake off…
Alright, #BadBlood is just the most fantastic video on the planet. Well done T-Swizzle
