Perry was a judge alongside country music star Luke Bryan and R&B/pop legend Lionel Richie on the ABC revival of ​American Idol ​for seven seasons.

Personal life[]

Perry, who was previously married to British comedian and actor Russell Brand, had been an on-off relationship with one of Swift's ex-boyfriends, singer-songwriter John Mayer, which attracted tabloid headlines. They wrote a song together called "Who You Love" for Mayer's 2013 album, Paradise Valley. She has also dated DJ/producer Thomas "Diplo" Pentz, who has worked with artists such as M.I.A. and Usher. Diplo once tweeted a nasty comment about Swift that caused her friend, singer Lorde, to come to her defense on Twitter.[2]

Perry is now engaged to British actor Orlando Bloom. She has a daughter with him, who is called Daisy Dove Bloom (born 2020).

Feud[]

  • In a Rolling Stone interview, Swift commented on Perry saying: "For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not. She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?' '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. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.'"
  • In promotion for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Perry co-covered the song "Tonight" with Swift.
  • Swift's song, "Bad Blood", is about Perry, and it is rumored that Perry's song "Swish Swish" is a response to "Bad Blood".
