If you watched Katy Perry‘s record breaking Super Bowl set last week you would have seen the star deliver an electric showing of some of her greatest hits.
Alas, that’s not what you would have seen if your name happens to be Taylor Swift. For, this week has welcomed the arrival of claims that Ms. Perry used the performance to “sneak diss” her ‘Bad Blood’ rival.
How she’s said to have done it?
Find out below…
Fans of the feuding ladies will know that their spat began when Swift accused Perry of stealing her dancers, prompting her to pen the jam ‘Bad Blood.’
News of Swift’s allegations got back to Camp Perry and, if theories put forward by diss detecting fans are anything to go by, her Super Bowl was used to respond clap back in subtle style.
How?
Perry came at Swift with an insult so subtle, so well crafted and so imperceptible that you might question its very existence… because it probably doesn’t exist.
No, Smiler for Life. I don’t think you are reading too much into this, so let’s let Hollywood Liferead into it further:
Katy seemed to deliberately put the high-waisted polka dot bikinis on backup dancers. Backup dancers were reportedly the cause of Katy and Taylor’s feud in the first place. Ouch.
The understated dig is also pretty much a direct reference to Taylor’s Cape Cod summer with Conor Kennedy in 2012. The “Blank Space” singer was frequently spotted out with the dashing gentleman and we’d never forget that red, high-waisted polka dot bikini she wore that summer.
What do you make of the matter?

Reaching. I didn’t even know Taylor wore that .. 2012 what kind of ancient archive
Reaching!
Not a Fan of Either so why should I Care?…carry on folks…
Taylor Swift will always be miles ahead of Katy, not just talent wise, but success wise as well. Taylor Swift just sold 4 Million copies of her new album in the Staes ( alone ) like it was nothing. Besides Adele no other female is capable of having the type of success Taylor is having.
Let me stop you there. They’re both pretty much leveled artist. Both write their songs (well Taylor co-write alot, so Katy may have a slight win here), both have a very young following and make their older fans feel young again. Both are bad to just ok vocal performers. I will say as of late, Taylor does pop music slightly better, but Katy been using that strategy for years. Yes Taylor sell more, but that doesn’t make her the better or bigger artist. In 2010 people said the same with Gaga vs Katy and where is Gags now?
The reason Gaga didn’t survive was because she relied on her stupid gimmicks, everybody knows gimmicks only get u so far. Katy may write her own material, but most of her music sound like something that should have been given to a disney channel star. Not to mention Katy can’t even fill an arena, Taylor on the other hand is selling out stadiums. All I’m saying is Katy is out of her league in more ways than one, The Katy Cats should have a prayer circle maybe that will help her finally win a Grammy.
@Quinton, I would agree with you but the Prismatic Tour is on its way to outgross every Fad tour except for the Monster Ball (which had to have 200+ dates to make that gross). It’s already one of the top grossing female tours of all time.
It does seem like a reach, but if Katy did that to shade Taylor, she is the new Queen of Shade. Lol.
It MAY be a diss, and a very clever one as that. But I’m sure that it’s a simple 50s swim suit. Katy couldn’t come out in a thong, so this was the more safe for the family beach ware.
If that was Katy’s way of throwing shade than that was the most stupidest shade I have ever seen…
Lmaoo. People are always over-analyzing and digging up S*** to find. I say #Reach
Ridiculous.
What a REACH?
i like Katy way more than Taylor.. i just cant with taylor, boring ass music. Katy is at least fun and is way more creative than Taylor is. They both have a huge following, but it’ll be hard to knock down Taylor at the rate that she’s going. Katy is now 30, if Gaga once had a huge following and fell down quick, Katy is bound to go through that much quicker than Taylor
This is probably the biggest reach of all time.
Also I kinda want Katy to win a Grammy tomorrow just for the meltdowns.
Oh TGJ … really?
The time it took her to come up with that cheap little shade she could’ve spent that time with a vocal coach honey. The show was good but it was far from flawless. Katy better stick to throwing shots at girls in her league child you can’t hang with Taylor have a seat.
Taylor swift is unbothered! Katy needs attention after missy and the shark stole her show.
Why would Katy through shade that could detract attention from her? Makes no sense. Katy did an amazing job at the superbowl!
I feel like this site is getting worse and worse with the news they report, they try to tie too many things and make it like almost a TMZ> This site used to be very authentic and real for rnb and hip hop. I think its a great idea to expand and reach other genres to gain visibility in addition to grab media attention for popularity..But I used to go to this site because it was all such great REAL AND CONFIRMED news. -_-
Reaching to the gods.
If it is this doesn’t even deserve to be posted about. I agree with above this site is becoming about as revenue from clicks and ad impressions more and more. All about comment section stan wars and doesn’t regulate the abusers. Ugh. Where did you go TGJ?
This site is more like a gossip site rather than a music blog.. Katy is a competent singer. She did well singing wise at the Super Bowl.. Gaga’s lowest selling album still sold 800k with one top five hit. For anyone else that would be awesome.. That doesn’t mean that her career is over.. Lol..
