Thereafter, the two pop icons also met backstage and, among everything, moved past their rumored enmity with heartfelt captions.

In 2013, rumors of a feud between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry reached an all-time high, shaking the frontiers of pop music. Moreover, the singer’s iconic hit, ‘Bad Blood’ also found itself linked as a direct reference to the ‘Feels’ singer. However, brushing all of it past, the two singers met each other backstage on the first day of the Sydney Eras Tour. Following it, Perry shared an all-smiles selfie to her Instagram with the caption, “got to see an old friend shine tonight”.

The Taylor Swift and Katy Perry feud dates as back as 2008, even before the former’s dispute with Kanye West. In 2018, the ‘Fireworks’ singer also sent her counterpart an olive branch and a handwritten letter even as the duo actively denied any bickering and appeared cordial enough. As of today’s show, Perry shared herself rejoicing to ‘Bad Blood’ at the stadium, much to the delights of their fandoms.

On the fateful night, bad weather with threats of thunder and lightning delayed the concert during the start. The pushback caused the support act by Sabrina Carpenter to get canceled. Yet Taylor Swift made up for it by having the 24-year-old share the stage for a duet to the roar of fans.
