SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Katy Perry stirred a social media frenzy when she shared a video of herself lip-syncing to Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' during her Eras Tour.

The 'I Kissed a Girl' singer continued to captivate fans as she made an appearance at Swift's Sydney show, causing a meltdown among fans.

Meanwhile, Swift's Eras Tour has been a hit in Australia, drawing enthusiastic crowds. However, some international fans expressed disappointment with the treatment received by the Melbourne audience, who enjoyed a special mashup of surprise songs including 'Getaway Car', 'The Other Side of the Door', and 'August'.

Adding to the buzz, Perry surprised fans by announcing her departure from 'American Idol' after seven seasons.

During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on February 12, the 'Firework' star disclosed her decision, citing feeling manipulated by producers to portray a negative image on the show. This caused her much disappointment, a sentiment she had harbored since 2023.

Katy Perry and Taylor Swift signal feud has ended

According to the Daily Mail, the long-standing feud between Perry and Swift seems to be a thing of the past, as Perry joined in singing along to Swift's 'Bad Blood' during the latter's Sydney show on the Eras Tour.

The reconciliation was further evidenced by Perry's Instagram post featuring a cozy selfie with Swift, taken after the concert at Sydney's Accor Stadium.

As detailed by the Daily Mail, Perry, Rita Ora and her spouse, Taika Waititi, showed their support for Swift by sharing numerous photos and videos on social media. Perry's Instagram post also included a heartwarming backstage snapshot of both herself and Swift, radiating glamour and their strong bond.

Previously, Perry and Swift had a well-documented feud, with Swift even writing her 2015 song 'Bad Blood' about their conflict. The feud allegedly started when Perry attempted to hire several of Swift's backup dancers and sabotage her tour.

Yet, Perry has evidently moved past the animosity, as seen in her enthusiastic participation by singing along during Swift's performance of 'Bad Blood'.

Watching from a VIP tent alongside Ora and Waititi, Perry immersed herself in the music, signaling a newfound camaraderie with Swift.
