While Katy Perry has been pretty brazen with her Taylor Swift smack-talk over the past few weeks leading up to the release of her new album, Witness, she now seems to be knocking her approach down a few notches by extending an olive branch of … friendship? While speaking with Arianna Huffington over the weekend as part of her days-long — and peculiar — livestream, Perry revealed that she wants their feud to be put behind them. “I’m ready to let it go. Absolutely, 100 percent,†she explained. “I forgive [Swift], and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her, and I think it’s actually … I think it’s time.†For Perry, she thinks there are “bigger fish to fry†and “bigger problems†in the world that warrant more attention than their petty internal problems. “I love her and I want the best for her, and I think she’s a fantastic songwriter,†she continued. “And like, I think that if we both, her and I, can be representatives of strong women that come together despite their differences, I think the whole world is going to go, like, ‘Yeah, we can do this.’â€
Perry still has a few problems with Swift, though. “Maybe I don’t agree with everything she does, and maybe she doesn’t agree with everything I do,†she explained. “But like … I really, truly, want to come together, and in a place of love and forgiveness, and understanding and compassion.†Meanwhile, Swift hasn’t said a damn thing about any of this.
