Rise To The Occasion

July 15, 2016 Blind Gossip

rise[Blind Gossip] Let’s talk about a recent situation involving two famous singers who can’t stand each other!

We’ve told you before that in order to score a big public gig like the Super Bowl, this singer really needs an anthem. We’re talking about a big song that stirs the emotions and invokes concepts like winning or victory or overcoming adversity.

Well, she blew it again! She was one of several singers in competition for a song for a major sporting event, but she just couldn’t rise to the occasion and come up with a song that would work.

Don’t bother asking her about it, though. She will never, ever admit that she was even approached for the gig. After all, losing is just not a word that she wants associated with her or her work!

Perhaps she could take some solace in that she was not the only person who lost out on this one? Several musicians – both male and female –  were asked to come up with a song for the event.

However, she is definitely the one who feels most burned by the winner! That’s right. Losing is bad, but losing to Winner – the person with whom our singer has so much bad blood – was just infuriating!

We’ll see if our singer has better luck when competing for the next big sporting event.

And in case you are keeping score at home, the anthem score now stands at Winner: 3, Singer: 0!

Similar: The Anthem

Singer:

Winner:

Clues:

[Optional] Do you think Singer is capable of writing/performing a big anthem with mass appeal?

    lol it looks like Taylor lost to Katy in the decision for an anthem for Rio 2016.

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    Clues: Rise is the name of Katy Perry’s song for the Olympics, Bad Blood is the song Swift is rumored to have written about Katy, Katy Perry did the Super Bowl halftime show and performed Firework (clue: blew it) which is about overcoming adversity.

    Katy has the Super Bowl and now her song for the Olympics but I’m not sure what the third victory is…

    Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, “never ever” and “bad blood.” No, I think the majority of people who like her music are little girls.

  23. celebiddy says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:39 pm

    Obvi taylor swift and katy perry

    I think based on bad blood and trouble that taylor has it in her to write a big powerful anthem – not totally convinced she has strong enough vocals to belt it out. I’d love to see her try though! She is so talented i’m sure she can nail it eventually

  26. shayjay says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:35 pm

    Singer: Taylor Swifty

    Winner: Katy Perry

    Clues: RISE is the name of the anthem the US Olympics chose, Katy’s new song that she said she didn’t want to keep until her next album, that it had been brewing inside of her for years.

    Do you think Singer is capable of writing/performing a big anthem with mass appeal? no. she has a too specific of a following. she is a diva, and is too concerned with her personal appearance, what people think of her, how she looks in the public eye.

  27. Celesbrina says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:34 pm

  32. Valfunde says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:27 pm

    Taylor Swift
    Katy Perry
    Rise is the name of the Olympic Anthem Katy Perry just released. Bad Blood is all about their feud.

    Yes, Taylor Swift is a very talented young woman and I think if she grows as an artist she is very capable of writing a meaningful anthemic song. She needs to stop writing these little break up songs, stop acting like a giggly school girl in love with any TOM, Dick, or Harry (hee hee) that comes along and get more serious with her songwriting.

  33. nocontrooooool says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:22 pm

    Ommmggg T Swift tried to get the Olympics song?? Lmfao.
    Winner is obviously Katy Perry with her new song Rise (clue). Other clues: bad blood, what else do you even need haha.

    I personally don’t see Taylor scoring such anthem in the near future, nor do I think her voice and music style would be suited for it.

  36. melrose71 says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:18 pm

    Singer Taylor Swift and Winner Katy Perry. Clues “Rise” and “Bad Blood”. I find it kind of comical that these grown women behave in such a junior high manner in the media. I don’t know what’s behind their feud. Did it start with John Mayer since they both dated him? He may have dated many famous, beautiful women, but I don’t understand his appeal.

    • BluntSavage says

      July 15, 2016 at 4:52 pm

      His “appeal” is in his pants. Is that so hard to deduce?

  37. Shadow_Queen152 says

    July 15, 2016 at 12:17 pm

    This is about the 2015 Super Bowl. (It’s recent because it was last year)

    Singer: T Swift (Again, not surprised)

    Winner: Katy Perry

    Clues: The person with whom our singer has so much bad blood = Katy Perry who TS is still feuding with plus “Bad Blood” is the song TS put out to diss KP

    [Optional] Do you think Singer is capable of writing/performing a big anthem with mass appeal?
    Heck No. The Super Bowl doesn’t need break up songs about TS latest ex “boyfriend” or schoolgirl…

    Easy!

    Singer: Poor Tay Tay Swift (her voice is just not as powerful)

    Winner: baby, you’re a firework, Katy Perry

    Clues: “Rise” is the name of the new song from Perry that is the anthem of the Rio Olympics, “…never, ever…”, “bad blood” among others…

    Optional: Tay Tay needs to get out of her feelings and think about something that can inspire a worldwide audience. Katy Perry nails it again with “Rise” after “Firework” and “Roar”. That’s why she is 3 above Swift.

  54. carriebradshaw says

    July 15, 2016 at 11:34 am

    2. Rise is KP new song
    3. Summer Olympics/NBC sporting event picked Rise as Anthem
    4. “Bad Mad Blood” AND “Never Ever” reference lyrics to 2 of TS songs

    obviously Katy Perry and Taylor Swift

    Clues: “Rise” “bad blood”

    Optional: Although I feel like Swift’s success is indisputable, I feel like she doesn’t have the mass appeal for something like the Olympics or Super Bowl. All her songs are about boys and drama, etc….she definitely appeals to a certain demographic. I also don’t think she’s as good of a singer as Katy Perry which can be important for some power anthems

  78. TeacherKat says

    July 15, 2016 at 10:52 am

    Taylor Swift
    Katy Perry

    Clues: the whole post

    Optional: who knows. She’s a fantastic songwriter (and I’m not really a fan, but even I can admit that her last album was a great pop album). I don’t really understand how Rise was chosen as its a bit….bland. The best thing about the video was the athletes. I’m curious to know what the other options were.
