Katy Perry will NOT be responding to ‘Bad Blood’ in her new album
It has been nearly four years since Katy Perry released her last full album, Prism, so we've been dying for the pop sensation to create more music.
Katy has confirmed that she does have new music on the way, full of 'purposeful pop' which reflects on society and politics.
However, fans have been wondering if the new album will have any response to her well-publicised beef with pop and country singer Taylor Swift, who is rumoured to have written her hit single Bad Blood about her feud with Katy.
Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman…

'That’s not my question to answer, if it’s about me,' said Katy, when asked by Entertainment Weekly if she will be responding to Taylor's dig.
' I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person.'
'One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone.'
'And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that.'
'Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story.'
'But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey.We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else!'
Okay, so it's definitely not going to have a response to Taylor, then.
We applaud Katy for bowing out of the traditional way in which women in the same industry can be pitted against one another, simply for being female.
