Selena Gomez fangirl over Taylor Swift's new album 'Lover'

<p>American pop-star Taylor Swift recently surprised one of her fans by donating $10,000 for her stage four cancer treatment.</p>

<p>The 29-year-old Grammy winner penned a sweet note on her 16-year-old fan Trinity Foster`s GoFundMe page, along with her donation. "Trinity, I saw photos of your album release party that you did in your hospital room and wanted to say thank you for being so kind and supportive! I hope I can give you a hug in person soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to send you this and all my love.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Your friend, Taylor," the superstar wrote.</p>

<p>The fundraising page for the fan was created in February, and before Swift`s donation, the teen had raised under $4,000 in total, reported People. "I am 16 and I have been diagnosed with stage 4 osteosarcoma, which has spread to my lung, I had to have a feeding tube put in because I couldn`t get enough nutrition," wrote Trinity on her GoFundMe page.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The chemo is really hard for me and my insurance doesn't cover everything that I need, we have tried to get other insurances like ten care but were told we did not apply.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is a very hard time for me and my family and if you have anything to donate it would be very much appreciated and helpful," she concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last month, the `Love Story` singer- who was busy promoting her seventh studio album `Lover`- also reached out to another young fan named Landon who is currently fighting cancer.</p>

<p>"One thing we know to be true in this journey - Landon`s Light shines bright. Bright enough to reach the brightest (super) star. Thank you for your call. You will never know how much this smile meant to our family today,"&nbsp;his loved ones posted on Facebook.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Seems like singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who recently reconciled with fellow singer Katy Perry after a long-time feud, is in the spirit to mend some old relationships.Swift recently took to her Instagram stories to reply to singer Demi Lovato, who praised the star for her new album `Lover`.<br />
<br />
Lovato on Monday shared the "jam" she`s been bopping to and it was none other than Swift`s hit song `Cruel Summer` from her newly released album `Lover`. Despite speculation that the singers were not on good terms, Lovato made it clear that those rumours couldn`t be farther from the truth as she supported Swift`s new album.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She went on to compliment Swift and squash rift rumours between the two."Life`s too short for women to not support other women. Especially when women release great music. Great job @taylorswift," Lovato captioned her Instagram Story, along with a heart, praise hands and clapping hands emojis.<br />
<br />
The 27-year-old star`s post caught Taylor`s attention and she re-posted it to her own Instagram account."This is so awesome and put the biggest smile on my face. Thank you @ddlovato," the singer shared on Instagram story.</p>

<p>It didn`t take long for fans to call out Lovato for "throwing shade" at Swift, who won big that night.

My REASON for not going is because I`m literally living my dream being on Will &amp; Grace rn so stop reaching," Lovato said.<br />

Lovato also previously sided with her new music manager, Scooter Braun, in his public feud with Swift earlier this year over his purchase of Swift`s music catalogue when he acquired Big Machine Label Group.<br />

<p>Swift said that she started “began feeling conflicted about what the US stood for when ‘all the dirtiest tricks in the book were used and it worked,'” and that she described the current political climate in the country as “gaslighting the American public into being like, ‘If you hate the president, you hate America.'”</p>

<p>This is probably the first time when Swift has spoken publicly about her political views. She had earlier in 2016 faced criticism for not publicly endorsing a candidate, leading to wide speculation on her political views. She had then said that she was not in the right frame of mind -- as her mother had a cancer-relapse and she had a public feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.</p>

<p>She said, “I was just trying to protect my mental health – not read the news very much, go cast my vote, tell people to vote” and added, “I just knew what I could handle and I knew what I couldn’t. I was literally about to break.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swift took it upon herself to speak about the abortion bill and said, “Obviously, I’m pro-choice” and expressed dismay over Tennessee lawmakers voting to impose a near-total ban on abortion in the state.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, she is trending on the social media with the release of her seventh album, Lover.&nbsp;</p>

Teen Choice Awards 2019: Here's the full list of winners

<p>Taylor Swift has revealed that the 2016 drama with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West left her in a state of mental trauma and turned out to be an "isolating experience" for her.</p>

<p>"A mass public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote cancelled, is a very isolating experience," Page Six quoted the 29-year-old singer as saying in an interview with Vogue.</p>

<p>She continued, "When you say someone is cancelled, it`s not a TV show. It`s a human being. You`re sending mass amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as, `Kill yourself.`"</p>

<p>The feud happened three years ago in 2016 and started when West in his song `Famous` called Swift a "b**ch" and later Kardashian came up with some proof the Swift knew about the lyrics already.</p>

<p>As the matter surfaced online, Swift was branded as a "snake" on Twitter. And in order to counter all this, Swift knew that the only thing that can take her out is music.</p>

<p>"I knew immediately I needed to make music about it because I knew it was the only way I could survive it. It was the only way I could preserve my mental health and also tell the story of what it`s like to go through something so humiliating," she said.</p>

<p>Since then, the singer has come a long way and is bracing up to release her upcoming album `Lover` on August 23. She said, "There are so many ways in which this album feels like a new beginning. This album is really a love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory."</p>

Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande lead MTV VMA nominations

<p>American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift went live on Instagram on Tuesday to announce her new song 'The Archer'.</p>

<p>The song which is co-produced by Taylor and Jack Antonoof will be track five on her upcoming 18-track album, 'Lover', which is scheduled to release on August 23.</p>

<p>"I really wanted to give you track five before the album came out," Swift said during the live stream.</p>

<p>She added, "As I was making albums, I was putting a very vulnerable, personal, honest, emotional song as track five."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The amazing fact is that Archer is the symbol of the zodiac sign Sagittarius, which is Swift`s astrological sign. The track is about Swift`s relationship with her longtime love, actor Joe Alwyn.</p>

<p>In 'The Archer,'&nbsp;Swift wonders, "Who could stay?" But, by the end of the song, she has a realization, singing, "You could stay."</p>

<p>The song, with its catchy lyrics and upbeat tune, is sure to make way into your playlists. In the first verse, Swift said that she`s ready for battle and fight for a relationship, "Combat, I`m ready for combat, I say I don`t want that/But what if I do? Swing sings in the beginning of the track. Cause cruelty wins in the movies, I`ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you."</p>

<p>Swift continues, "Easy they come, easy they go, I jump from the train, I ride off alone, I never grew up, it`s getting so old, Help me hold onto you."</p>

<p>In the second verse, Swift said this relationship has only left her with regret and guilt, "I`ve been the archer, I`ve been the prey, Who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?"</p>

<p>Swift wonders "Dark side, I search for your dark side, But what if I`m all right, right, right, right here? And I cut off, my nose just to spite my face. Then I hate my reflection, for years and years."</p>

<p>Swift also revealed during her live stream that she will be including 120 pages of her diaries in the deluxe edition of her "Lover" album.T.

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift went live on Instagram on Tuesday to announce her new song 'The Archer'. The song which is co-produced by Taylor and Jack Antonoof will be track five on her upcoming 18-track album, 'Lover', which is scheduled to release on August 23. "I really wanted to give you track five before the album came out," Swift said during the live stream. She added, "As I was making albums, I was putting a very vulnerable, personal, honest, emotional song as track five." The amazing fact is that Archer is the symbol of the zodiac sign Sagittarius, which is Swift`s astrological sign. The track is about Swift`s relationship with her longtime love, actor Joe Alwyn. In 'The Archer,' Swift wonders, "Who could stay?" But, by the end of the song, she has a realization, singing, "You could stay." The song, with its catchy lyrics and upbeat tune, is sure to make way into your playlists. In the first verse, Swift said that she`s ready for battle and fight for a relationship, "Combat, I`m ready for combat, I say I don`t want that/But what if I do? Swing sings in the beginning of the track. Cause cruelty wins in the movies, I`ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you." Swift continues, "Easy they come, easy they go, I jump from the train, I ride off alone, I never grew up, it`s getting so old, Help me hold onto you." In the second verse, Swift said this relationship has only left her with regret and guilt, "I`ve been the archer, I`ve been the prey, Who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?" Swift wonders "Dark side, I search for your dark side, But what if I`m all right, right, right, right here? And I cut off, my nose just to spite my face. Then I hate my reflection, for years and years." Swift also revealed during her live stream that she will be including 120 pages of her diaries in the deluxe edition of her "Lover" album.T. Swift posted the photos on her Instagram handle with the caption: "I`ve been the archerI`ve been the prey who could ever leave me darling...But who could stay?" Back in April, Swift released the first song titled `Me!` from her new album, with Panic! at the Disco`s Brendon Urie. Earlier in June, Swift urged her fans to contact senators in her home state of Tennessee to demand passage of the Equality Act. Later that night, she made the same appeal at an iHeart Wango Tango concert in Los Angeles, appearing in a rainbow coloured outfit.

<p>Now, the singer is doubling down on the claims she made via a Tumblr post on Sunday that she "wasn`t given an opportunity to buy" her "life`s work."<br />
According to Swift`s lawyer Big Machine Label head Scott Borchetta, who first signed the superstar when she was a teen, never gave her the opportunity to buy her music, reported People.<br />

"Scott Borchetta never gave Taylor Swift an opportunity to purchase her masters, or the label, outright with a check in the way he is now apparently doing for others," her lawyer Donald Passman told People in a statement.<br />

On Wednesday, a source told Variety that Swift had to sign a deal that will bind her to Big Machine or its new owner for another 10 years in order to buy her music or the label.Hours after Swift said she was "grossed out" by Braun`s acquisition of Big Machine Label Group and her music catalogue, Borchetta, who worked with Swift from 2006 until she left Big Machine for another label called Universal Music Group late last year, responded with his own lengthy statement on the label`s website, accusing Swift.</p>

"We were working together on a new type of deal for our new streaming world that was not necessarily tied to `albums` but more of a length of time," he added.<br />

In her Tumblr post, the Grammy award-winning singer said that the deal she was offered involved earning one album back for each "new one I turned in."<br />
"I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past," she added.</p>

<p>"Now Scooter has stripped me of my life`s work, that I wasn`t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it. This is my worst case scenario," she wrote in her Tumblr post on Sunday.</p>

<p>"This is what happens when you sign a deal at 15 to someone for whom the term `loyalty` is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says `Music has value,` he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it," Swift added of Borchetta.<br />

"In the entire time of negotiations, she never once reached out about wanting her masters," the source added. In a scathing Tumblr post that Swift shared on Sunday, she claimed she was blindsided by Braun`s acquisition and "grossed out."<br />

"Since communication ran dry on our negotiations, I`ve done what I told you I would do and gone out exploring other options.

Taylor Swift had months to buy her music but 'decided to walk away'

<p>While the entire Hollywood industry is shaken by the feud between pop singer Taylor Swift and music manager Scooter Braun, the A-listers are coming up in support of the singer.<br />
<br />
According to US Weekly, after singer Sia showed her support for Braun, Ed Sheeran who may not be publicly supporting the singer and friend Swift is doing everything to support her in the difficult times.<br />
<br />
This behaviour of Sheeran sparked several comments from the Swift fans who lashed him for not outwardly siding with Swift.<br />
<br />
The 28-year-old singer broke his silence on the conflict after Instagram commenters called him for not standing with Swift after she slammed Braun for buying her master recordings as part of his purchase of her former record label.<br />
<br />
"Why aren`t you publicly showing your support of Taylor?" one asked. Wrote another: "So you, a songwriter and one of the most successful and influential musicians in the world, are just gonna stay silent on the fact that Taylor Swift, one of your friends or so we think, got robbed of 11 years of her own work."</p>

<p>Sheeran finally commented after one Instagram user defended him. "Just because he didn`t post anything it doesn`t mean he is not supporting her, maybe he`s talking with her right now, who knows," that user wrote.<br />
<br />
"I have been speaking directly to her like I always do," the four-time Grammy winner wrote in response.<br />
<br />
Swift opened up about the situation in a Tumblr post on Sunday, after Braun purchased Big Machine Label Group from Scott Borchetta, reportedly for more than $300 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 'Me' singer had been signed to Big Machine from 2005 to 2018, and the sale means Braun owns her back catalog. In the post, Swift called the news her "worst case scenario," accusing Braun of being involved in his artists Kanye West and Justin Bieber "bullying" of her over West`s "Famous" song and music video in 2016.<br />
<br />
"When I left my masters in Scott`s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually, he would sell them," she wrote on Tumblr.</p>

<p>"Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words `Scooter Braun` escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn`t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever," she concluded.<br />
<br />
Bieber and Demi Lovato, another of Braun`s clients, also took to social media to defend the 38-year-old music manager, while Halsey, Cara Delevingne and Camila Cabello posted messages in support of Swift.&nbsp;</p>

This behaviour of Sheeran sparked several comments from the Swift fans who lashed him for not outwardly siding with Swift. The 28-year-old singer broke his silence on the conflict after Instagram commenters called him for not standing with Swift after she slammed Braun for buying her master recordings as part of his purchase of her former record label. "Why aren`t you publicly showing your support of Taylor?" one asked. Wrote another: "So you, a songwriter and one of the most successful and influential musicians in the world, are just gonna stay silent on the fact that Taylor Swift, one of your friends or so we think, got robbed of 11 years of her own work." Sheeran finally commented after one Instagram user defended him. "Just because he didn`t post anything it doesn`t mean he is not supporting her, maybe he`s talking with her right now, who knows," that user wrote. "I have been speaking directly to her like I always do," the four-time Grammy winner wrote in response. Swift opened up about the situation in a Tumblr post on Sunday, after Braun purchased Big Machine Label Group from Scott Borchetta, reportedly for more than $300 million. The 'Me' singer had been signed to Big Machine from 2005 to 2018, and the sale means Braun owns her back catalog. In the post, Swift called the news her "worst case scenario," accusing Braun of being involved in his artists Kanye West and Justin Bieber "bullying" of her over West`s "Famous" song and music video in 2016. "When I left my masters in Scott`s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually, he would sell them," she wrote on Tumblr. "Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words `Scooter Braun` escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn`t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever," she concluded. Bieber and Demi Lovato, another of Braun`s clients, also took to social media to defend the 38-year-old music manager, while Halsey, Cara Delevingne and Camila Cabello posted messages in support of Swift.

Ed Sheeran breaks silence over Taylor Swift after facing backlash from fans

<p>Taylor Swift has been trending since Sunday after she issued a statement criticising celebrity manager and mogul Scooter Braun as his company acquires her music catalogue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Calling it the “worst case” sale of back catalogue to Scooter, she wrote a Tumblr post all sad and grossed out that her music now belongs to a man she accuses of subjecting her to years of incessant and manipulative bullying.</p>

<p>It was announced on Sunday that Scooter acquired Big Machine Label Group which released all of Taylor Swift’s studio albums and owns her masters. Swift said she learned of the sale the same day.</p>

<p>Taylor left the Big Machine and signed with Universal in November because, she said, she knew that re-signing with the group that had managed her since she was 15 would only result in her not owning her future work. “When I left my masters in [Big Machine Label Group founder Scott Borchetta’s] hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually, he would sell them,” she wrote. “Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter.”</p>

<p>She added that Scooter got two clients including Justin Bieber to bully her online about a leaked and illegally recorded snippet of a phone call with Kim Kardashian. She also said Kanye West who is also a Braun client, organized a “revenge porn music video which strips my body naked”.</p>

<p>She said that Scooter not only “stripped her” off her life’s work, which she “wasn’t given an opportunity to buy” but “my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.”</p>

<p>The celebs are currently divided between supporting Taylor or Scooter in this controversy. While Justin Bieber and the likes <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/justin-bieber-slams-taylor-swift-for-crossing-a-line-with-manager-scooter-braun-231900">called her out</a> for publicly humiliating Scooter, others like Halsey have come out in her support.&nbsp;</p>

Taylor Swift criticises Scooter Braun for 'worst case' sale of back catalogue, celebs divided in support

<p>Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber defended long-time manager Scooter Braun`s after singer Taylor Swift released a statement criticising him for buying her music catalogue.</p>

<p>Her statement came in response to Braun`s acquisition of Big Machine Records, which holds the rights to Swift`s first six albums.</p>

<p>On Sunday morning, the `You Belong With Me` singer revealed that the music manager will soon own her entire music catalogue. After Swift`s post, the `Sorry` singer issued his statement on the matter. While he apologised to the singer for sharing "hurtful" Instagram post in 2016 of him FaceTiming Braun and Kanye West, who is famously involved in a long-time feud with Swift, Bieber defended his manager."Hey Taylor. First of all, I would like to apologise for posting that hurtful Instagram post, at the time I thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said "Taylor swift what up" he didn't have anything to do with it and it wasn't even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that," he wrote apologising for his old post.</p>

<p>Defending the music manager, he said, "Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven`t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn`t fair. "What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing I know is both scooter and I love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and forth online I don't believe solves anything. I`m sure Scooter and I would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or any feelings that need to be addressed," he continued.</p>

<p>He concluded his post saying that by writing a message about Braun, Swift is "crossing a line."Neither scooter or I have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I usually don`t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone I love,&nbsp;that's crossing a line," he said.</p>

<p>While Justin`s post has been getting a lot of heat from Swift`s fans, his wife Hailey Bieber commented, "Gentleman."</p>

<p>Braun`s wife, Yael Cohen Braun, also took to Instagram to defend her husband and claimed that Taylor was "given the opportunity to own your own masters, you passed."</p>

<p>However, many came out in support of the 29-year-old singer, including Halsey, Cara Delevigne, Selena Gomez`s mom and more. On Sunday, Swift posted on her Tumblr page, "For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead, I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and `earn` one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, [Big Machine founder] Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past."</p>

<p>She added, "Some fun facts about today`s news: I learned about Scooter Braun`s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I`ve received at his hands for years."Braun represents Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and J Balvin, reported E! News.</p>

<p>In November, last year, the `Love Story` singer quit Big Machine Music and signed a new deal with Universal Music Group, which means Braun wouldn`t have any legal claim over the rights to her recently released singles `Me!` and `You Need to Calm Down` and her upcoming seventh album `Lover`.</p>

Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Becky G to perform on July 10 at a concert

<p>Pop singer and songwriter Taylor Swift on Monday released a star-studded music video that scolded social media trolls and urged fans to sign a petition demanding U.S. legal protections for gays, lesbians and transgender people.<br />
<br />
The video for Swift`s new single 'You Need to Calm Down' featured a surprise cameo by former rival Katy Perry plus a host of other celebrities. Perry`s appearance signalled an end to a spat between the two musicians which began in 2013 over backup singers in their shows.<br />
<br />
Set in a pastel-coloured trailer park, the video featured Swift, 29, relaxing in a pool while she called out her critics and those who attack LGBTQ people. "Shade never made anybody less gay," she sang.<br />
<br />
Celebrities in the video who identify as LGBTQ include Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Porter, RuPaul, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Adam Lambert, Hannah Hart and Tan France.<br />
<br />
Swift, all smiles and outfitted as French fries, hugged Perry, 34, dressed as a hamburger, a costume she wore to last month`s Met Gala fundraiser at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.<br />
<br />
Social media posts in 2018 suggested an end to their spat, which had played out in their songs. On Tuesday, Perry posted a photo on her Instagram account, with Swift being tagged, showing a plate of cookies with the words "Peace at last" appearing to be written in icing.<br />
<br />
At the end of the new video, two sentences on screen urged fans to sign a petition urging the U.S Senate to pass legislation that would protect LGBTQ people from discrimination. The measure has already cleared the U.S. House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
"Let`s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally," it said. The petition had collected more than 222,000 signatures within a few hours.<br />
<br />
Swift, who has more than 118 million Instagram followers, has been stepped into politics in 2018 by supporting two Democrats running in U.S. congressional elections in Tennessee. Voter registrations spiked in the state, but Swift`s preferred candidate for Senate lost the election.&nbsp;</p>

Taylor Swift releases song and petition calling for LGBTQ equality

<p>Singers Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have put their feud in the past and there`s no more bad blood between the two.<br />
<br />
The music icons came together for <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-releases-song-and-petition-calling-for-lgbtq-equality-228213">Swift`s `You Need To Calm Down` music video</a>, which released on Monday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the video, which stands for the LGBTQ+ community and equal rights for women, the singers share a hug.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The duo had been in a feud for the past few years, reportedly over backup dancers. Swift`s song `Bad Blood` is also rumoured to be about her prolonged quarrel with Perry. Perry`s `Swish Swish` is said to be her response, reported E! News.<br />
<br />
After reconciling, Swift opened up about being on "good terms" with Perry. Following the release of the new music video, Swift was called to the UK`s Capital Breakfast to talk about reconnecting with the `Never Really Over` singer.<br />
<br />
During the interaction, Swift shared that she and Perry have actually been on good terms "for a while." It all began in May 2018 when Perry sent Swift a literal olive branch before her `Reputation` tour kicked off. "She and I have really been on good terms for a while. She sent me a really nice note and an olive branch like an actual olive branch to my tour when it started, the Reputation Stadium Tour, a while ago," Swift explained. "From that point on we`ve been on good terms," the 29-year-old singer added.<br />
<br />
The pop star recalled how she and Perry sorted out everything, something Perry made a reference to when she shared a picture of a plate of chocolate chip cookies with the words "Peace at last" written in red icing. "Then we saw each other at a party and walked up to each other and hugged it out and talked about things, and then we saw each other again and hung out at another party and it was just like something felt so much lighter about my life when things became really good between us," the songstress added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Swift also revealed that she and Perry have been on good terms for a while but wanted to make sure they were "solid" before announcing their reconciliation. "And, you know, she and I have been fine for a while and really on good terms but we didn`t know if we were ever gonna really tell people about it. We wanted to make sure that was solid between us before we ever made the public aware," she said.<br />
<br />
On Monday, Perry shared photos from her time on set of Swift`s latest music video, making a reference to their friendship. "This meal is BEEF-free," the star captioned photos of herself dressed in the burger dress she sported at the 2019 Met Gala.</p>

<p>Perry previously revealed that she`d be "open" to working with Swift while speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March.&nbsp;</p>


Singers Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have put their feud in the past and there`s no more bad blood between the two. The music icons came together for Swift`s `You Need To Calm Down` music video, which released on Monday.

Singers Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have put their feud in the past and there`s no more bad blood between the two. The music icons came together for Swift`s `You Need To Calm Down` music video, which released on Monday. In the video, which stands for the LGBTQ+ community and equal rights for women, the singers share a hug. The duo had been in a feud for the past few years, reportedly over backup dancers. Swift`s song `Bad Blood` is also rumoured to be about her prolonged quarrel with Perry. Perry`s `Swish Swish` is said to be her response, reported E! News. After reconciling, Swift opened up about being on "good terms" with Perry. Following the release of the new music video, Swift was called to the UK`s Capital Breakfast to talk about reconnecting with the `Never Really Over` singer. During the interaction, Swift shared that she and Perry have actually been on good terms "for a while." It all began in May 2018 when Perry sent Swift a literal olive branch before her `Reputation` tour kicked off. "She and I have really been on good terms for a while. She sent me a really nice note and an olive branch like an actual olive branch to my tour when it started, the Reputation Stadium Tour, a while ago," Swift explained. "From that point on we`ve been on good terms," the 29-year-old singer added. The pop star recalled how she and Perry sorted out everything, something Perry made a reference to when she shared a picture of a plate of chocolate chip cookies with the words "Peace at last" written in red icing. "Then we saw each other at a party and walked up to each other and hugged it out and talked about things, and then we saw each other again and hung out at another party and it was just like something felt so much lighter about my life when things became really good between us," the songstress added. Swift also revealed that she and Perry have been on good terms for a while but wanted to make sure they were "solid" before announcing their reconciliation. "And, you know, she and I have been fine for a while and really on good terms but we didn`t know if we were ever gonna really tell people about it. We wanted to make sure that was solid between us before we ever made the public aware," she said. On Monday, Perry shared photos from her time on set of Swift`s latest music video, making a reference to their friendship. "This meal is BEEF-free," the star captioned photos of herself dressed in the burger dress she sported at the 2019 Met Gala.

Taylor Swift feels 'so much lighter' after ending feud with Katy Perry

<p>American singer Taylor Swift and her British actor boyfriend Joe&nbsp;Alwyn were seen spending some quality time together in Paris, France.</p>

<p>According to E-News, the duo caught the attention of several onlookers at a local cafe, strolling around the streets of the city and admiring the architecture on Friday morning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to an eyewitness, the pair kept things very low-key (and romantic!) during their outing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In fact, they were seen sporting baseball caps and dark sunnies to look more incognito, the source pointed out.</p>

<p>"Taylor has been working in Europe the last few days and she and Joe arrived in Paris late Thursday," a source told E! News.</p>

<p>"They will be spending the weekend in the City of Love where she`s appearing on The Voice."</p>

<p>The insider continued, "On Friday morning they had a leisurely breakfast at Cafe de Flore. They sat inside and sipped on coffees. They seemed very comfortable together, just talking and people watching."</p>

<p>After coffee, the two "walked around the streets of Beaubourg, holding hands and stopped to have some water," according to the insider.</p>

<p>During their outing, the insider said they looked "excited to be in Paris and were taking in the sites and architecture."</p>

<p>''They enjoyed a nice walk on a crowded street where they could mix-in with the locals and not be bothered," the source shared.</p>

<p>"They were then picked up by a car and taken back to their hotel."</p>

<p>Apart from appearing on `The Voice` and hanging with her 28-year-old boo thang, Swift was a guest on Friday`s episode of `The Graham Norton Show`.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 29-year-old star performed on the talk show and joined in on the fun with Sophie Turner, Jessica Chastain, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy.</p>

<p>"Feeling pretty lucky that I got to be a guest on the same night as Sophie Turner, Michael Fassbender, Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy - They were all so sweet, now I want to just walk around yelling GO SEE DARK PHOENIX," the 29-year-old star captioned her Instagram post.</p>

American singer Taylor Swift and her British actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn were seen spending some quality time together in Paris, France. According to E-News, the duo caught the attention of several onlookers at a local cafe, strolling around the streets of the city and admiring the architecture on Friday morning. According to an eyewitness, the pair kept things very low-key (and romantic!) during their outing. In fact, they were seen sporting baseball caps and dark sunnies to look more incognito, the source pointed out. "Taylor has been working in Europe the last few days and she and Joe arrived in Paris late Thursday," a source told E! News. "They will be spending the weekend in the City of Love where she`s appearing on The Voice." The insider continued, "On Friday morning they had a leisurely breakfast at Cafe de Flore. They sat inside and sipped on coffees. They seemed very comfortable together, just talking and people watching." After coffee, the two "walked around the streets of Beaubourg, holding hands and stopped to have some water," according to the insider. During their outing, the insider said they looked "excited to be in Paris and were taking in the sites and architecture." ''They enjoyed a nice walk on a crowded street where they could mix-in with the locals and not be bothered," the source shared. "They were then picked up by a car and taken back to their hotel." Apart from appearing on `The Voice` and hanging with her 28-year-old boo thang, Swift was a guest on Friday`s episode of `The Graham Norton Show`. The 29-year-old star performed on the talk show and joined in on the fun with Sophie Turner, Jessica Chastain, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy. "Feeling pretty lucky that I got to be a guest on the same night as Sophie Turner, Michael Fassbender, Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy - They were all so sweet, now I want to just walk around yelling GO SEE DARK PHOENIX," the 29-year-old star captioned her Instagram post.
