If you were more than just a little confused why America's country princess is making made her new album '1989' into a full on pop music project, the "Shake It Off" singer is more than happy to explain. You probably shouldn't expect Taye-Taye to give quite as candid a response when asked about her ongoing feud with fellow John Mayer ex-girlfriend Katy Perry. But according to the latest gossip news updates, backup dancers that once worked for both girls revealed that the Instagram bikini feet model's problems with the comically big-breasted "Fireworks" singer is about business not boys.
Taylor Swift didn't name and names when recently discussing a song off her new album, '1989' called "Bad Blood", but she didn't have any problem dishing a little dirt about them in Star's September 29, issue:
"For years I never knew if we were friends or not...Then she did something so horrible I was like, "Oh, we're just straight up enemies.'
"And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour."
According to the publication in an interview with backup dancer Lockhart Brownlie from last year, he all but confirmed that the evil lady in question in none other than girl kissing Kate Perry.
Apparently, Lockhart admitted that he and two other dancers were working for Taylor when Perry called them up and made them an offer they couldn't refuse:
"Katy is like family to us, so we were like, 'Absolutely.'
"We weren't really dancing on Taylor's tour anyway, so I got a little bored."
Whatever the case, Taylor swears that this isn't going to be just another tell-all breakup record like she is sometimes known for making.
In an interview with Huffington Post, Swift explained that she named the album '1989' not only because that is the year she was born, but because that was a year for musical experimentation and change:
"It was a very experimental time in pop music...People realized songs didn't have to be this standard drums-guitar-bass-whatever.
"We can make a song with synths and a drum pad. We can do group vocals the entire song. We can do so many different things.
"And so with this record, I thought, 'There are no rules to this. I don't need to use the same musicians I've used, or the same band, or the same producers, or the same formula. I can make whatever record I want.'"
So there, Katy Perry...take that with you regurgitated pop antics.
