At Taylor Swift’s Sydney concert on Friday night, her boyfriend Travis Kelce wasn’t the only one in attendance. Even Katy Perry also joined with Rita Ora and Taika Waititi to rejoice at Swift’s show at Accor Stadium.
The Teenage Dream singer took a break from American Idol and traveled to Sydney, Australia, to see T-Swizzle at the Eras Tour. Perry also had a humorous reaction when Swift played the song she wrote about her.
There’s a lot of attention online on Perry’s response to Swift performing Bad Blood live, which many believe is about their past feud. Now, it looks like there’s no strife between the two.
Fans Can’t Get Enough of Katy Perry’s Response to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Performance
The two pop stars—Katy Perry and Taylor Swift—who had a long feud, met again yesterday at Swift’s Eras Tour show in Sydney.
During the song, the 39-year-old humorously widened her eyes, seemingly teasing the fact that the 1989 track was about their past feud. The two resumed their friendship by meeting backstage and taking a selfie together.
After the concert, the Dark Horse singer posted a selfie on Instagram with Swift and shared videos from the show, writing, “Got to see an old friend shine tonight.” She also included a video of herself watching Swift perform Bad Blood in the carousel.
This is good news for the stans of both the singers. Fans expressed their excitement on social media. Here are some reactions:

What was the Reason for the Feud Between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift?
In a Rolling Stone cover story in 2014, Taylor Swift spilled the beans that her song Bad Blood was about another female pop star. This came a year after Katy Perry allegedly hired three of Swift’s dancers from her Red World Tour for Perry’s own California Dreams tour.
In the interview, the now 34-year-old said that Perry did something “so horrible” that turned them into “straight-up enemies,” explaining:
“She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.”
The Lover singer’s 2014 song from the album 1989 was rumored to be a diss track about the American Idol judge. The feud continued when Perry tweeted a cryptic response on Twitter in 2014, “Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing.”
The recent reunion of Swift and Perry shows that they’ve patched things up. Fans saw signs of this in 2019 when Perry appeared in Swift’s You Need to Calm Down video, indicating they’d made amends already.
