Taylor Swift

by

As recently as three years ago, singers Katy Perry and Taylor Swift were bosom buddies, appearing arm-in-arm at awards ceremonies, parties and fashion weeks.

But their relationship has in more recent times soured – and Taylor Swift's recent Bad Blood video is widely believed to be a dig at her former BFF.

Now Ms Perry appears to be on the war-path herself: she has legally and officially registered a song called 1984 with BMI, a major music publisher.

The significance? Her nemesis released the massively successful 1989 album last year to critical and commercial acclaim.

Coincidence… we think not.

The pair are believed to have met around 2009, and they shortly afterwards struck up a friendship.

In the preceding months, Taylor, 25, and Katy, 30, would regularly Tweet at each other, also posting cosy images together on social media. Ms Perry even made a guest appearance on stage at one of Tay-Tay's shows.

But by 2012 things had begun to turn sour. And then a year ago, the feud was pretty much confirmed when Taylor revealed the inspiration behind Bad Blood.

"For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not," she said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "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 added that in 2013, this person then "did something so horrible, I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies'".

Ms Swift continued: "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."

Meanwhile, in response Katy herself Tweeted a reference to the film, Mean Girls, and later unashamedly admitted it was directed at her one-time pal. And evidently she feels the battle isn't over just yet.

Sadly, there is as yet no indication as to when 1984 might be released.

When Ellie Goulding posted and then promptly deleted an Instagram picture of herself and a group of gal pals over the weekend, the internet promptly jumped to conclusions.

The Lights singer was hanging out at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood when she shared a group shot including fellow stars Lorde and Katy Perry among others – but she soon had second thoughts.

When the photo disappeared from Ellie's page just hours later, many assumed it was to avoid any bad feelings with the singer's bestie, Taylor Swift, given her long-running public drama with Katy.

What started as a business issue when Katy poached Taylor's dancers for her own tour last year has since turned personal, and neither star looks set to back down anytime soon. 

In fact, Taylor's newest single Bad Blood is said to be a direct dig at Katy, with the video even featuring a "villainous" Selena Gomez in a very Katy-esque black wig.

So did Ellie delete the picture to keep Taylor sweet? Definitely not, she says.

"I deleted that because I looked bad in it," she told ODE Entertainment at the Glamour Awards. "I think I was a bit drunk and I thought it wasn't a very good example of myself."

Ellie admitted she deletes pictures of herself "all the time" when she reckons she's not looking her best. She's just like us, so…

While there has been a lot of back-and-forth bitchiness between Katy and Taylor, one of the girls in particular refuses to go into detail about the feud.

"I'm never going to talk about her [Katy] in my interview. It's not going to happen," Taylor told The Telegraph recently.

"It's not real if someone appears to never have any issues with anyone. I have my friends. I have enemies. I have bad days…I'm not nice all the time but I try not to be carelessly rude to people who don't deserve it."

Here at Shemazing! Towers, we think Taylor Swift is pretty damn sexy.

With those enviable pins, blonde locks and stunning eyes, we're pretty sure you'd be hardpressed to find someone who doesn't see the sex appeal in the gorgeous Miss. Swift, but it seems the Shake It Off singer might need a little convincing on this front.

Opening up about her perception of herself when speaking to an Access Hollywood reporter, Taylor said: "I'm just not generally a sexy person. That's all it is."

Appearing to have accepted this notion as fact, the Haim girls' BFF went on to say: "It's fine. I've accepted it. I'm a lot of things. Overtly sexy is not one of them."

Revealing that this plays a role in her artistic endeavours, the 25-year-old star explained: "I would never encourage an artist to try to and fit in to a role that seemed to be created for them by a bunch of record label guys in suits in a conference room."

With the media sometimes playing up Taylor's 'good girl' persona, it has led many to describe her as 'chaste', something which Taylor feels further fuels her point, saying: "That's a way of people saying I’m just not generally a sexy person. That's all that is."

We love you Tay, but we think you're a little off the mark on this one!

So while we might think having Taylor Swift as a neighbour would be pretty sweet, not everyone shares the same opinion.

In fact, some stars are so put out by the Grammy award-winning star and her posse of famous friends, they've decided to up sticks and flee the neighbourhood which Taylor only moved into a mere six months ago.

We know, we know- who could possibly feel this way?!

Step forward Orlando Bloom.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star decided it was time to sell up and leave his New York apartment block after the Shake It Off singer brought things to a whole new level with her constant celeb schmoozing.

​Irritated by the 24 hour paparazzi attention the apartment block is attracting since Taylor snapped up the penthouse suite, 38-year-old Orlando has decided enough is enough and came to the conclusion that it's time to heave-ho.

Commenting on the actor's decision, an insider told the Mail on Sunday: "Orlando bought the flat, but then Taylor bought the penthouse and began throwing parties with guests such as Beyonce, Jay Z and Justin Timberlake. The building became a paparazzi magnet."

The quiet dad-of-one clearly wasn't down with these kind of antics, with a source revealing: "There were always cameras and fans outside. Orlando values his privacy so decided to sell up and move on."

Aw Orlando, think of the fun you're missing!

There is no celebrity friendship quite like theirs, which is why so many of us have often posed the question of why Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have never taken things to the next level.

Well, Ed has revealed the real reason why romance has never blossomed between himself and Taylor – and it is probably the most hilarious thing you will hear all weekend.

The Bloodstream singer was chatting on radio show The Breakfast Club this week when the presenters asked him why he and Taylor never became a thing.

When co-host Angela Yee suggested that Taylor ‘wasn’t Ed’s type’, he replied: “Too tall. I don’t know man, I feel like we look like cast members of The Hobbit.”

He hilariously added: “She’s like in the elven kingdom. She’s like, you know, hanging out with Galadriel and I’ve got hairy feet.”

Did he really just compare himself to a hairy hobbit? And is it acceptable to find that really attractive?

While Ed and Taylor may be just good friends, the star did share his thoughts on the Bad Blood singer’s latest squeeze, Calvin Harris.

“He’s a really nice guy. Really, really nice guy. There are certain people that are just nice people in the industry,” said Ed of Calvin.

If he gets Ed’s seal of approval, consider us sold.

Boy, does she move fast!

Photos of a loved-up Taylor Swift, 25, and her DJ boyfriend Calvin Harris, 31, having been popping up everywhere over the last few weeks.

The couple reportedly only met for the first time in February when they both attended the BRIT Awards in London – and it's certainly been a whirlwind romance ever since.

The first photos of the couple kissing surfaced at the Billboard Music Awards earlier this month, and since then they have been spotted everywhere together.

Only two nights ago the Feel So Close singer and Ms Swift were seen leaving her swish New York apartment to go on a date. He has previously dated Ellie Goulding and more recently had a nasty split from Rita Ora.

Tay-Tay has, of course, previously been linked to the likes of Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, and John Mayer.

And on Tuesday she was added to the prestigious Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women list.

The elite business publication stated that Taylor “has not only broken record sales and captivated the world with her fantastically honest lyrics, but she has proven herself as an impressive businesswoman.”

Let’s hope that this time round Taylor’s success will stretch to her love life too… we reckon she deserves it.

The Forbes list for the World's 100 Most Powerful Women was released today, and it contains some pretty heavy hitters.

Considered the annual benchmark for the females influencing and creating change over the last 12 months, the Forbes list doesn't lie.

This year's rankings are no different, and although German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the list for the fifth time in a row, there are some other names in there that we reckon could knock her off the number one spot next time around.

Aged just 25, Taylor Swift is the youngest woman to be included, and while she has a long way to climb, she is doing well for her first entrance in 64th place.

The singer is estimated to have a net worth of around €75 million, and her award-winning album 1989 had the biggest first-week sales of any record in a whopping 12 years.

As well as that, she still has time to chill with her BFFs… and document it all for us on social media.

Further up the list is fellow singer Beyoncé at number 21, this year's highest-ranking entertainer.

Given that Bey and her husband Jay-Z managed to generate an incredible €85 million from just 19 US shows on their On The Run tour last year, we reckon Beyoncé is a pretty powerful female alright.

US Vogue editor Anna Wintour also made it into the top 50, ranking at number 28 this year.

The famously ruthless magazine queen joins other fashion heavyweights Diane Von Furstenberg (75th place) and Miuccia Prada (79th place) on the 2015 list.

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara might seem like an unusual inclusion at 57th place, but considering that she is currently the highest paid woman in television, we can see why she deserves a nod.

Sofia reportedly takes home €300K per 25-minute episode of the show, and that's not counting her film roles and endorsement deals.

Coming in just behind Angela Merkel in second and third place this year are US Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, along with philanthropist Melinda Gates, wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Other big names to make the list include Oprah Winfrey (12th place), Ellen DeGeneres (50th place),  Angelina Jolie (54th place) and Shakira (81st place).

That is quite a group of women!

Many Taylor Swift fans may have been left very worried about the blonde beauty lately after rumours surfaced that her new boyfriend Calvin Harris has been cheating on her.

According to Star magazine, the DJ was spotted with a mystery brunette at a pool party recently.

A source apparently said: "Calvin and the girl were walking super close together and left in the same car. He’s the biggest DJ in the world and spends his time in clubs surrounded by ladies. What’s going to stop him from cheating?"

Taylor's friends were then rumoured to have warned the singer that Calvin is a player.

However, we can now clear up that these rumours are meant to be completely false.

Gossip Cop have said they have "reached out to a source close to Swift, who tells us she and Harris are fine and the tabloid’s tale is 'nonsense.'"

Phew!

We definitely think these two are going to last after their super cute PDA at the Billboard Music Awards earlier this week.

Taylor Swift looked stunning at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday in her Balmain jumpsuit from the spring/summer 2015 collection.

However, not everybody knew it was Balmain and the whole thing got very awkward.

Fashion retailer Nasty Gal has taken credit for the outfit because they have an almost identical piece.

They posted a picture to social media of Tay on the red carpet and told their followers she was wearing their jumpsuit.

Not surprisingly, the piece quickly sold out because we're sure it cost A LOT less than the Balmain one which cost thousands. 

However, the post was then deleted after people were pointing out the mistake.

The Fashion Law said: "We can certainly conclude one of two things. Either Nasty Gal is so good at copying other brands' garments stitch-for-stitch that even its employees cannot tell the difference between the real thing and the copy, or Nasty Gal knew that Swift was wearing Balmain and was using this opportunity to sell one of its near exact copies."

Balmain have announced a collaboration with H&M which was announced by members of the Balmain Army, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner who were also wearing Balmain on the night.

We know things are probably pretty awks between Harry Styles and Taylor Swift, but you wouldn't think this would stop Harry attending a party with his One Direction band members, Ed Sheeran and probably dozens of other A-list celebs.

Oh, but it did.

After winning, erm, well pretty much every award at the Billboard Music Awards, Taylor Swift threw an after party for all her famous friends.

After being publicly loved-up with her new boyfriend Calvin Harris, the singer was prepared to let go of any bad blood between her and ex-boyfriend Harry.

However, Harry seemed to have different ideas. Even though all of One Direction were invited, Louis and Niall were the only ones that attended. And it has been revealed that Harry did turn down the invite.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: "They have a good mutual friend in Ed Sheeran who has been trying to get all of them together to hang out. Ed doesn’t see any reason for them all not to be friends. He invited all of the One Direction boys and wanted Harry to join in, but Harry knew it would be awkward so he decided against it.”

And while Taylor was heartbroken over her split with Harry, we're sure she's delighted that he probably inspired many of the songs that won her the awards and now she is completely smitten with Calvin. 

A source also said: “She was over the moon that Harry was there to witness how crazy she and Calvin are for each other. First of all, she was able to show Harry that, yes, she’s completely over him. Second, Calvin rocks her world, more than Harry ever did or could.”

Instead of the party, Harry flew back to Los Angeles from Las Vegas.

Guessing they're not out of the woods then…

You would think Rita Ora would strongly dislike Taylor Swift since she is dating Rita's ex, Calvin Harris.

However, the 24-year-old doesn't have a bad word to say about Tay.

After the Billboard Music Awards, rumours spread that she had been backstage all night to avoid the newly loved-up couple, but that is not the case.

In a recent interview with Vice magazine, Rita said: "I think she's one of the most incredible songwriters of our generation. I'm not even just saying it. I absolutely adore her music and love what she stands for."

She also added: "You pay respect to people who deserve it—Beyoncé and Madonna. When Madonna was going through it on this last record, I was one of the first people to post my support on Instagram. Don't battle her because of her age. I'm a girl's girl, I support women and it comes back to you. I'd love that support. There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being a f**king arsehole. I don't step on people's toes."

Aw, how sweet of her.

We're sure Taylor would be delighted to hear this as it doesn't look like her romance with Calvin is just a fling.

The pair have been spotted looking very loved-up recently and we don't know who we are more jealous of…

Taylor Swift released her video for Bad Blood yesterday. It pretty much features everyone, including Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez and Ellie Goulding. Seriously, don't be surprised if you spot your most distant cousin, your ex boyfriend and your pet goldfish somewhere in there.

Rumours have been circulating that the video is a major dig at Taylor's enemy, Katy Perry. Selena Gomez even plays the villain who is wearing a wig that is a very Katy-like bob style. 

Of course, it may not be about Katy, but given Taylor's usual song inspiration, we're guessing it is. 

Katy has now responded to the video after watching it. 

A source told HollywoodLife.com: “She saw it, she thought the video was a little desperate and that she tried too hard but she isn’t going to worry about Taylor too much because she has her own career to worry about.” 

"She felt slighted with the song but the video didn’t really bother her,” they added.

Hmmm…

Katy's friend Trevor McFedries appears to be defending his friend on Twitter. He toured with her in 2011. After TayTay's video aired at the Billboard Music Awards, he posted a cryptic tweet stating his disapproval. 

"Using a group of women to take shots at another woman" beside a thumbs down emoji.

He then tweeted: "Let's be good to each other".

The reaction from his followers varied as some agreed while others don't believe the video is about Katy at all because some of her friends are featured in it.

One thing is for sure, we don't think this will be ending anytime soon.
