Did A Literal Olive Branch Just Induct Katy Perry Into Taylor Swift's Squad?
Call off the snakes, the Taylor Swift-Katy Perry feud looks to be officially over. After fighting over shark dancers, Met Gala snubs, and a music video worth it's own special effects Oscar, Taylor seems to be ready to put aside any bad blood. Taylor's curated Apple Music playlist, known for picking songs perfect for "kitchen dance parties," just added the superstar known for bringing the fireworks.
Katy Perry earned her shoutout with some good old fashioned research. In a 2019 interview with Elle, Taylor revealed her favorite recipe: Ina Garten's spaghetti. So when Katy sent Taylor a huge bundle of olive branches complete with her own apology note, Taylor couldn't help but post the heartwarming present to Instagram in a peace offering the internet couldn't stop talking about. How did Katy know olive leaf pasta can spice up any recipe? Sure, she was probably was being more symbolic, but the truce has already sparked rumors of a duet.
If you're a true Swiftie, you've been tracking all of Taylor's rainbow-themed Instagram hints leading to her latest album, unofficially dubbed 'T7' by fans. Her latest color-splashed update featuring Meredith caught Katy's attention and her simple like has followers wondering if a collaboration was in the making. According to members of both fan bases, Katy and Taylor having been posting the same type of content at the same time. If Taylor posts a palm tree, Katy posts a palm tree. Ditto with plastic flamingos.
??A group of flamingos is called a FLAMBOYANCE which is what I am naming my side project ok??

They might just be acting like California Girls, but it looks like Taylor is ready to give Katy one of her signature squad shoutouts. To celebrate her new song "ME!", Taylor posted a playlist of her favorite songs on Apple Music.
"Everything that happens to us is just part of a story we’ll tell someday. These songs are the soundtrack to my story at the moment. I love this playlist for kitchen dance parties, long drives home, sun-soaked reflection, or aggressive bopping. All songs have been loved and appreciated by ME!" Taylor wrote in the playlist description.
The 40-song list, which features Lizzo's "New Juice" and Ciara's "Thinking About You," included Katy Perry's "Never Really Over" the morning of its premiere. The breakup anthem currently sits at #13 on Taylor's approved listening just below Lany's "Pancakes."
Fans have already started jumping on the Taylor-Katy wagon, but we're just excited they came back together over our favorite breakup cure: food.
