Katy Perry recently disclosed that she and Taylor Swift do not have a tight bond. Although they ended their long-standing feud publicly last year, the 35-year-old singer stated in an interview with Australian magazine Stellar on Sunday that both women are too preoccupied to maintain a close friendship. She also mentioned that her goal for reconciling with the 30-year-old artist was to set an “example of unity” for their global supporters.
According to Katy Perry, who recently ended her six-year long feud with Taylor Swift, the two singers do not have a very close relationship despite being constantly busy and texting each other often. The details of their current communication and level of friendship remain unknown.
In a recent interview, Katy spoke about the importance of forgiveness and how powerful it can be, even when it comes to forgiving your enemies. She also shared that while she and Taylor don’t have a super close relationship due to their busy schedules, they do keep in touch via text. Katy also had positive things to say about Taylor’s recent Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, where the singer revealed her decision to speak out about politics.
In an interview with Stellar, Katy, aged 35, shared that the main motivation behind her reconciliation with Taylor, aged 30, last year was to set an example of unity by forgiving her former enemy. Katy expressed how she felt upon watching Taylor’s documentary, stating that she saw a lot of vulnerability and self-awareness in it. She also mentioned feeling excited about Taylor showing the world that things do not have to be perfect, and in fact, imperfections can make things more beautiful.

This gesture removed any animosity between them, and they were able to put their feud behind them. Taylor described the olive branch as a beautiful wreath that symbolized the end of their tension and the start of a new chapter in their friendship.

The music video showcased Katy in a hamburger costume and Taylor in a french fries costume as they hugged, revealing their reconciliation to the public.
