Katy Perry has responded to Taylor Swift’s (rumored) diss track, ‘Bad Blood, with one of her own… at least that’s what everyone is speculating. Titled ‘Swish Swish’ and featuring Young Money’s Nicki Minaj, according to many, Perry’s new track takes aim at Swift and Remy Ma (through Nicki’s verse), but don’t expect Perry to confirm that directly. But if the shoe fits, right?
“A tiger, don’t lose no sleep, don’t need opinions, from a shellfish or a sheep”.
While the ‘Roar’ singer is “the tiger” in the lyrics, many believe the sheep represents Swift, as Perry famously tweeted out “Watch out for a sheep in Regina George’s clothing”, a Mean Girls reference that many believed was aimed at T-Swift, when their rivalry was at its peak. We may never received an exact confirmation, but it will certainly be interesting to see if Taylor Swift responds.
Stream ‘Swish Swish’ below and check out the dates for Katy Perry’s forthcoming headlining tour.

After making headlines for twerking to Fetty Wap’s ‘Trap Queen’ backstage at TIDAL X: 1015, Nicki Minaj called in to Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club to talk a number of topics, from meeting Lauryn Hill, emerging female MCs, mumble rap and more. But one especially exciting piece of information that came out of the interview is that Nicki has a collaboration with Fetty Wap that will be coming out soon.
When talking about new artists, Minaj told Charlamagne and company, “I love (Fetty’s) melodies, I love Fetty. I did something with Fetty that’s going to come out soon, that I think is super dope.”
While Nicki didn’t reveal the exact details, a classic Nicki verse and a Fetty Wap melody could easily be a hit, so definitely stay tuned.
Check out Nicki’s full interview with The Breakfast Club below.

Even Taylor Swift isn’t too big to show a little humility and apologize when she thinks she’s wrong. For a couple days, Taylor and Nicki Minaj had a little bit of bad blood when Taylor Swift was under the impression that Nicki’s anger over a MTV Video Music Award snub (for her ‘Anaconda’ video) was aimed at Swift’s way (who was nominated). Although the two both shared how big of a fan they were of the other, there was some clear tension. The Twitter war should be officially over now, as Swift took to Twitter to send an apology to Minaj. “I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I’m sorry, Nicki,” tweeted Swift. You can’t blame a girl for defending herself, right (especially when its Swift and the VMAs)?
Ready T-Swift’s apology below.
