Taylor Swift - English
Just one week after Taylor Swift released The Life of a Showgirl, Katy Perry made headlines by publicly endorsing her former rival’s work.
Perry posted a snapshot of Eldest Daughter-a track from the new album-to her Instagram Stories, signalling her support for Swift’s latest musical chapter. She wrote: “We loved this one”, accompanying the text with an image of Swift’s song cover on Spotify.
Katy Perry left her fans amazed during her South American tour
This gesture is especially notable given how tense their relationship once was. During Swift’s February 2024 Eras Tour, Perry attended the show and shared concert photos to her Instagram, including a backstage selfie with Swift.
She captioned it, “Got to see an old friend shine tonight,” showing just how far their relationship had evolved.
Over the years, both artists have been linked to songs inspired by their feud-namely Swift’s “Bad Blood” and Perry’s “Swish Swish.”
But the antagonism has since shifted. In a July 2020 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Perry reflected on their reconciliation, saying: “Gossip in life can take the elevator but the truth takes the stairs. It just takes time.”
She added that the media had amplified their disagreement and that now they are “super friendly.” She went on: “What I’m so grateful for is we did get to make up publicly and got to be an example of redemption for young girls.
“I always wanted the best for her and now we can talk about the best we want for each other.”
Their journey toward renewed respect first became public when Perry “sent a literal olive branch” during Swift’s Reputation tour.
A symbolic move in a new chapter
Perry’s decision to spotlight Eldest Daughter feels deeply symbolic. The song’s themes of identity, vulnerability, and public perception echo much of what both Swift and Perry have navigated in their careers and personal lives.
By sharing it, Perry is doing more than streaming a track-she’s making a statement of solidarity. That solidarity gains force when viewed within the context of their history. Long before their reconciliation, the pair had engaged in public jabs that fueled tabloid speculation and fan wars.
Their eventual rapprochement-first through gestures, later through creative collaboration as Perry made a cameo in Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” video-was itself a kind of media narrative shift from rivals to peers.
Perry’s Instagram support also aligns with how she has spoken about healing and example-setting. Her earlier remarks that they wanted to “set an example” show that this isn’t just a PR move; it reflects a deeper intention to change the narrative for younger artists and fans alike.
Pop royalty approves of The Life of a Showgirl
For Swift, the Showgirl era has already begun provocatively with lush visuals, emotional storytelling, and bold reinvention. To have Perry endorse it so publicly enriches the narrative.
Fans and observers will see it not just as validation, but as proof of how much the two women have grown. Whether this moment will inspire further public collaboration, support, or artistic exchange remains to be seen.
But for now, Perry’s move stands as a compelling signal: where once there was tension, now there is mutual respect-and pop icons backing one another in a new era.

Pete Alonso signing with Orioles: Mets slugger bolts for Baltimore on five-year, $155 million contract
The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to terms with the top power hitter remaining on the free agent market. The O's and first baseman Pete Alonso have agreed to a five-year contract worth $155 million, CBS Sports has confirmed. The deal does not include any opt outs, per the New York Post. The team has not yet announced the signing. The signing comes one day after it was reported the Orioles offered Kyle Schwarber the same five-year, $150 million contract he took to return to the Philadelphia Phillies. Essentially, the O's added $1 million per year to that contract, pivoted to Alonso, and got it done. The $31 million is the second-highest average annual value ever given to a first baseman. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays: $35.7 millionPete Alonso, Orioles: $31 millionMiguel Cabrera, Tigers: $31 millionFreddie Freeman, Dodgers: $27 millionPaul Goldschmidt, Cardinals: […]
Back Bills to Win Super Bowl … Because What Could Go Wrong?
What if I told you back in August that Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson would all be watching the NFL playoffs from home?Only four weeks remain in the regular season and, honestly, the situation laid out above isn’t too farfetched if you really think about it. Burrow’s Bengals are dead and buried while Mahomes’ Chiefs and Jackson’s Ravens are literally underdogs to make the postseason. The Chiefs are as high as -800 to miss in the market. If you knew then what you know now … what would’ve been the play?"Oh, I would’ve emptied the clip on Buffalo," one professional bettor told me from Las Vegas. "The only team that’s stopped Josh Allen is Kansas City. That’s the only one that matters. Mahomes is their kryptonite."And yet a path without all three is obviously easier.This page may contain […]
What’s Next: Pete Alonso Gives Baltimore a Boost and the Mets Need to Act Fast
ORLANDO, Fla. – In the latest shake-up to the Mets’ core, the club’s all-time home run leader is bound for Baltimore. Just one day after losing longtime closer Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers in free agency, and weeks after trading Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers, Pete Alonso is the latest franchise icon to depart from Queens this winter after agreeing to a five-year, $155 million deal with the Orioles that will give him the highest average annual value ever for a first baseman in free agency. A year ago, Alonso was unable to secure the long-term deal he coveted coming off a down year by his standards. He settled for a two-year, $54 million contract that included an opt-out, which he exercised this winter after raising all of his slash-line numbers in 2025, hitting 44% above league average and passing Daryl Strawberry […]
