Katy Perry Slams Taylor Swift’s Friendship Tactics: “It’s All Just Performative BS”
In a stunning turn of events in the world of pop music rivalries, Katy Perry has launched a scathing critique against Taylor Swift, questioning the authenticity of Swift’s much-publicized “squad.” The feud, which has had its roots in past professional disputes, has now escalated into a public discourse on the nature of celebrity friendships.

Perry, known for her candidness, didn’t hold back in an interview when asked about her thoughts on Swift’s social circle. “Let’s call it what it is,” Perry began, “Taylor doesn’t do real friendship. It’s all self-serving, performative BS.” Her choice of words left little room for interpretation, suggesting that the camaraderie Swift promotes is more about maintaining a particular image rather than genuine connections.
The term “squad” has been synonymous with Swift’s branding, featuring prominently in her music videos, social media posts, and public appearances. However, Perry claims that beneath the surface, there’s a different story. “Her ‘squad’ is nothing but bubble-gum infused PR,” she stated, implying that these relationships are orchestrated for public consumption rather than out of true affection or loyalty.
Perhaps the most damning accusation Perry made was about the consequences of falling out of favor with Swift. “When any squad-member screws up, they get the Queen’s axe,” she said, drawing a parallel to a monarch’s ruthless decisiveness. This statement hints at a cutthroat environment where loyalty must be absolute, or one risks being ostracized.
The comments have reignited interest in the long-documented feud between Perry and Swift, which began over what was rumored to be a dispute involving backup dancers during Swift’s “Red” tour. Despite both artists having publicly moved on, with Swift even featuring Perry in her “You Need to Calm Down” music video in a gesture of reconciliation, Perry’s recent remarks suggest underlying tensions or perhaps a strategic move to reshape public perception.
Fans and observers of both artists have taken to social media with mixed reactions. Some defend Swift, arguing that the visibility of her friendships should not be equated with their sincerity. Others find Perry’s critique refreshing, believing it sheds light on the often glossed-over aspects of celebrity life.
Industry analysts, however, caution against taking such public statements at face value. “These kinds of comments can be part of a broader narrative or marketing strategy,” says music industry expert Lara Croft. “It’s about keeping the public talking, whether it’s through friendship or feud.”
As this narrative unfolds, it remains to be seen how Swift will respond to Perry’s allegations or if this will lead to a new chapter in their storied rivalry. One thing is clear, though: in the world of celebrity, the lines between personal, public, and professional are perpetually blurred, making every friendship, especially those in the limelight, subject to scrutiny.
