Katy Perry brings shade to Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris feud
Katy Perry lit some fireworks of her own after Calvin Harris sounded off on Taylor Swift via Twitter.
Here’s how this all went down…
It was revealed that Swift penned Harris’ hit “This Is What You Came For” under the pseudonym “Nils Sjöberg” for her then-boyfriend. They agreed to not release the song together, so Harris took it to Rihanna, laid the track down and it became a smash single.
TMZ reported that the pair’s decision to never, ever, ever, ever get back together ignited when Calvin told Ryan Seacrest, on the day that “What You Came For” was dropped, that he probably wouldn’t consider doing a collaboration with Tay-Tay. This was said, by sources close to Taylor, to have hurt Swift deeply and things fell apart shortly thereafter.
Harris caught wind of this of course, and he voiced his disappointment over the story becoming public in a serious PREACH moment via the Twitters:
I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym

Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though ?

I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do

I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it

Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one

That last dig was in reference to the public feud Taylor has had with fellow pop superstar Katy Perry. Katy didn’t mind chiming in, as the most followed person in Twitter history sent out two thinly-veiled reactions to her over 90-million followers:
