Taylor Swift On The Rumours ‘Bad Blood’ Is About Katy Perry

It has been assumed that Taylor's Swift's song 'Bad Blood' is about Katy Perry. But in an interview with* GQ* Taylor Swift has spoken for the first time about whether the person who made a really deep cut is a boy or a former friend.

She said: 'You’re in a[n] interview, and the writer says, ‘Who is that song about? That sounds like a really intense moment from your life.’ And you sit there, and you know you’re on good terms with your ex-boyfriend, and you don’t want him—or his family—to think you’re firing shots at him. So you say, ‘That was about losing a friend.’

She continues: 'And that’s basically all you say. But then people cryptically tweet about what you meant. I never said anything that would point a finger in the specific direction of one specific person, and I can sleep at night knowing that. I knew the song would be assigned to a person, and the easiest mark was someone who I didn’t want to be labeled with this song. It was not a song about heartbreak. It was about the loss of friendship."

'So I don’t necessarily care who people think it’s about. I just needed to divert them away from the easiest target. Listen to the song. It doesn’t point to any one person or any one situation. But if you’d listened to my previous four albums, you would think this was about a guy who broke my heart. And nothing could be further from the truth. It was important to show that losing friendships can be just as damaging to a person as losing a romantic relationship.' As the GQ interview points out, she did hint it was another popstar however by revealing it was based on tour drama.

Taylor said of how she hates being perceived as 'calculating.' She said: 'In a sense I do think about things before they happen. But here was someone taking a positive thing — the fact that I think about things and that I care about my work — and trying to make it into an insinuation about my personal life. You can be accidentally successful for three or four years. Accidents happen. But careers take work.'
