Despite Katy Perry stating that she wouldn't be throwing any shade at Taylor Swift with her new album, her newest song doesn't quite seem that way.

'I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person,' she said, when asked if she would be clapping back at Taylor Swift's song Bad Blood. 

'One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone.'

Today, Katy dropped her brand new track Swish Swish, and fans are speculating that it reads like a diary of events that occurred during Katy and Taylor's well-documented beef.

With sly digs like 'you’re about as cute as an old coupon, expired,' and a perceived mention of Taylor and Kim Kardashin's melodramatic moment where Kim exposed Taylor and started the now infamous snake emoji trend against her ('karma’s not a liar, she keeps receipts') it kind of looks like the singer is aiming this song at the country-turned-pop star. 

Katy even teamed up with Nicki Minaj on the track, who also has also had a very public argument with Taylor Swift. 

Taylor has yet to respond to speculation that the song is about her.

You can give the song a listen and see what you think below:

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. 

'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.

While accepting the National Equality award at this year's Human Rights Campaign gala, Katy Perry revealed that a staunch anti-gay rhetoric had informed most of her childhood and adolescence.

Born into a conservative and religious family, Katy was taught from a young age that the LGBT community was something to fear.

"When I was growing up, homosexuality was synonymous with the word 'abomination' and 'hell'," she explained. "So most of my unconscious adolescence, I prayed the gay away at my Jesus camps."

During the impassioned speech supporting the gay community, the singer revealed that with the support of friends she began to understand her own sexuality, and ultimately realised her perception of the LGBT community had been utterly skewed.

"There is no other community that has done more to shape who I am today, and there is no other community that I believe in more than you," she said.

Delving further still, the 32-year-old singer explained that her own experiences contradicted the teachings of her church and family.

Referring to her debut single, I Kissed a Girl, Katy added: "Truth be told, I did more than that. But how I was I going to reconcile that with a gospel-singing girl raised in youth groups that were pro-conversion camps?"

Katy finished her well-received speech with a promise, saying: "I'll never cease to be a champion, an ally, a spotlight, and a loving voice for all LGBTQ-identifying people."

Take a look…

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have been together for just over a year, but the couple have called it quits on their relationship, at least temporarily. 

“Before rumours or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time," reads a statement from both celebrities' reps, acquired by People

The two were spotted together on Sunday at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, where they posed for photos together.

However, a source said that other than smiling for the cameras side-by-side, the two didn't have any further interaction. 

"Katy didn’t spend much time with Orlando,” the source told People.

“They got together for a photo, but that was about it.”

No exact reason has been given yet for the split, but with Katy's busy schedule promoting her new single Chained To The Rhythm and Orlando focusing on his ambassador role for UNICEF, clashing work commitments could be the cause.

Hopefully the two enjoy their break and then rekindle their relationship.

Last night, the Brit Awards hosted some amazing musicians to celebrate a year of fabulous music.

When performing, Katy Perry decided to commit her set to the year in politics, as she put on a politically charged act that paid homage to the current state of American and worldwide governmental relations.

The performance included 20 foot tall skeletons who had a remarkable resemblance to Donald Trump and Theresa May, who were shown holding hands and dancing together, while hundreds of tiny versions of the White House frolicked around them.

It was one of these tiny houses, with a backup dancer inside, that caught the eye of fans.

During her new song Chained To The Rhythm, the dancer promptly fell off the stage in the most confidant manner possible.

We've all had that horrible moment where we've gone down the stairs and missed a step, but this little guy just felt that fear on a global level, as his tumble was posted on Twitter for the world to see.

Luckily, the white house costume means his face is hidden so his dignity is intact, but we hope the rest of him is too after that fall.

Katy Perry has been pretty busy touring and being loved up with Orlando Bloom for the past few years, and hasn't dropped even a hint of any new music.

Now we are getting our fix of the pop star's bubbly sound, as Katy has just released her first single in a very long time.

The singer just leaked her new track Chained to the Rhythm, and it's exactly what we expected from the gorgeous pop singer.

The song was co-written by Sia, and it's the bounciest summer song we've heard all year.

Aside from 2016's Rise which was penned for the Olympics, Katy hasn't released a new tune since her album Prism back in 2014. 

The song also features a verse by Bob Marley's grandson, Skip.

The singer originally hinted that something big was coming by changing her social media profile pictures to a new snap of her with dramatic blonde locks, causing fans to speculate that new music was en route.

The singer also dropped headphones attached to sparkly disco balls at different US locations for adventurous fans to hear a snippet of the song ahead of time.

The singer is finally making her mark on the fashion world and she seems to be pretty excited about it.

"You are what you wear , right?" she told Footwear News.

"It's one of those things where I really love the line and I’m excited by it. It’s not like you’ll never see me in a pair of Adidas slides ever again. And you’ll [probably still] see me on the streets wearing Uggs.”

Her fancaaay shoes won't be cheap though, with prices starting off at $59 (€55) and going up to $299 (€280).

“Here’s the thing: When I’m working or promoting music, or onstage, I don’t get the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation or meet everybody individually," Katy said.

“So the way I present myself can set the tone. It could be a conversation opener, just by my shoes or by the way I wear my nails – it could be [my form of] hello.”

Katy Perry Collections will be available on Amazon on Feb 16.
