Stirring The Pot

[Blind Gossip] Remember when singers would sell their music based on their talent?

That seems like a long time ago… especially when it comes to this popular female singer.

She’s noticed that the more she creates conflicts between herself and her exes and between herself and other female singers, the more publicity she gets and the better her music sells. It’s like she’s running her own little reality show. She just makes things up because that’s people respond to the imaginary drama. Even if one of her songs isn’t really about someone famous, she loves to hint that it is, stir the pot, and then sit back and watch the craziness on social media and in the press! It’s fun for her (and profitable).

    This isn’t Taylor. Even when she has been using that technique for years now, this is about Katy, the pic looks like Katy with her old hair and she’s cooking so that’s a hint to her Bon Appetit single and her album cover. Also she’s been talking about Taylor quite a lot, and about her exs.

    And Taylor sales, all her singles go to number one and so do her albums, whether you like her or not this is a fact. I’ve heard Katy’s been struggling with her music lately.

    Which is why I don’t bother to listen to much of the current stuff. There’s just no soul in it. I have tried to give Swift some credit since she supposedly writes her own music even if it is emotionally shallow. At least she wasn’t another prepackaged pop star but I suppose we only get one Van Morrisson, Freddie Mercury or Righteous Brothers in a lifetime.

  6. ealieder says

    Katy Perry. I understand all of the Taylor guesses, but i don’t think she ever started any of the feuds some have listed. It seems more that people feud with her for publicity.

    Katy, on the other hand, has been talking about their feud on talkshows while promoting her new album. Taylor has been in hiding for quite some time.

  10. Raoul Duke says

    I’d normally go with Demi, but Katy is releasing her new album and still won’t let drop talking about Taylor Swift and giving bizarre interviews.

  13. DuckyMcQuack says

    I’d say Taylor Swift. But she hasn’t released anything new in a long time and she stayed out of the spotlight for a while. If it’s her, and she’s releasing a new album soon, I’d like to see her reinvent herself as a tough fighter who owns up to her power. Gotta leave it to her, if the Spotify/Katy storyline of this week showed anything, it’s that even her haters are in awe of her.

  15. Marybel says

    Taylor Swift is thirsty for drama, but she’s a talented songwriter; Katy Perry, on the other hand, has no discernible talent other than showcasing her rack.

  20. bullterrier70 says

    Shifty Swifty, she has created conflicts with Katy Perry, sung about Jake Gyllenhaal John Mayer Harry Styles etc. Kudos to her if people buy it.

  21. janique_le_pique says

    Initially I though Taylor Swift but the picture shows a brunette whos is baking or cooking which reminds me of katy perrys bon appetit

    so Katy Perry… talking about Taylor in her recent interviews and dropping her album yesterday

    • mona lisas and mad hatters says

      ^DITTO^ And it’s KP who is constantly rehashing The Feud with TS. It’s getting tedious.

      However, in the world of Entertainment, feuds (fake or not) have been capitalized upon by celebrity publicists since the beginning of time, as there’s Nothing better than FREE publicity.

      Manipulative? Absolutely. But with KP’s sales numbers down, it’s likely to continue. Thank goodness there are a (very) few singers like Adele with real talent who don’t have to resort to this nonsense for $ales.

  22. TruveyTaylor says

    Katy Perry aka Cat Pee

    Conflicts with Taylor Swifty; this strategy is not sustainable as it is not going to health her do more sales but plenty of interviewers will try and get her to continue being messy. She ends up looking stupid AND still can’t sell big numbers.

  24. Aussieqld says

    Singer Taylor Swift
    Created conflicts with Katy Perry
    Strategy: mean. She could really hurt someone.

  25. GA1208 says

    Singer: Katy Perry
    She’s created conflict with: Taylor Swift

    I know the whole drama between them was started by Taylor but Katy’s the one bringing it up now to sell her new songs. Also the pot is a clue to her new single Bon Appetit in which she’s being cooked inside a pot in the music video.

  26. Realistic says

    Singer: Katy Perry or Taylor Swift
    She’s Created Conflicts With: Katy Perry or Taylor Swift

  27. radmom says

    This is definitely Tay-Tay. Re-releasing her back catalog of music on all of the streaming services at the exact time Katy Perry is releasing her new album. Katy has even said she would like to move on from the feud, because the initial cause is old history. But, it’s obvious that Tay-Tay will never let go until something juicier comes along.

  32. UmWtf says

    Taylor Swift
    Katy Perry, Kimye
    I think it’s all the above. She gets what she wants but by doing that she’s definitely getting some enemies and honestly fans of whoever she’s starting stuff with won’t bat an eye towards her when she releases stuff. They’ll be tired of her crap.

  35. amagod121 says

    Tat Tay Swiftboat?
    Optional: I guess it’s pretty darned smart because it always works to her benefit. Or mostly does. Of course she might not be Miss Popularity because of this….

  36. algarve2016 says

    Taylor Swift

    I would have said Katy Perry because of the “stir the pot” clue, but I think that Taylor is very much into writing about so many of her famous ex’s. Harry Styles, John Mayer, etc. It’s funny that things with the guy from Owl City didn’t work out. They both sang “Enchanted,” and he had wanted to meet her. I wonder what happened?

  39. GretaGuesses says

    Taylor Swift

    She’s created conflicts with some members of her mafia, with Mayer, the 1D guy, Calvin, Katy Perry, Kanye…to name a few.

    I think she’s manipulative and a mean girl.

  42. hfhayley says

    Taylor Swift.

    I think it’s both. But it definitely makes her less likeable.

  48. calumsmom says

    Of course this is Taylor Swift (one clue is the cooking picture, because she supposedly loves to cook). … grow up already, and stop being so petty. It’s mean and makes you look like a very small person.

  49. AnnieH says

    Katy Perry, Taylor Swift

    Of course the whole thing is fake. It’s gossip, free publicity, and Katy’s new song is awful

  50. RickiHazel says

    Taylor Swift

    It’s smart but very manipulative. She just needs to grow up.

  51. DreaDay681 says

    Taylor releasing her entire music catalog just as Katy Perry releases her album.
    She is annoying. I used to think she was sweet and wholesome but now I just think she’s vapid and petty and pathetic.

  53. Lindasu says

    I’m going with Katy Perry on this one with her new Album and the song about Taylor. She’s also the one who can’t seem to break up and let it go. She’s always in some melodrama with boyfriends, husbands, etc.

  57. thomk065 says

    Taylor who isn’t very talented to me. But good for her for making a living on this.

  59. ninanicole says

    Taylor Swift streaming again just as Katy drops her album. The list goes on and on as for who she starts drama with…
    I guess if you want to make money it’s smart but it just makes her look crazy.

  60. tellmemore says

    Taylor Swift

    I liked her music for a while, but I’m so over her and her BS. If she ever wants fans over the age of 10 she’s going to have to act like an adult at some point.

  62. Jester says

    Taylor Swift
    Conflict with Katy Perry and others that names don’t come to my mind currently.
    Her strategy is: manipulative and mean. She is a * who pretends to be so wholesome and sweet.

  66. kellyk says

    Taylor Swift

    I’d say smart from the money perspective but she won’t have any friends or relationships left to spend it with.

  68. sweetnews says

    Katy Perry. Oye, so childish. The fact that the public by into it is worse.

  69. kimmukwest says

    Katy Perry
    T Swift, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, John Mayer, Orlando Bloom

  70. Tralee says

    Singer is Katy Perry
    She creates conflicts with Taylor Swift.
    Move on already.

  71. pinkjello says

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    She’s Created Conflicts With: Everyone

    [Optional] Is her strategy smart or manipulative or mean?: Manipulative, mean, and pathetic. I used to like her back when she was an actual singer-songwriter before the Kanye interruption drama happened and she got addicted to that sort of thing.

    • Mills007 says

      THIS is so true!!! And yes i believe its swifty caus she did the streaming thing around katy’s new music release!
      So for sure swifty tay tay!

      I think her ego got inflated in a cray cray tay way that day..
      (yeeehehe i can rhyme? )

      That’s why the Kanye lyrics are so great caus he did make that b…. Famous!
      And then she gets de-famed by his a.., about her lying she didn’t know nothing…..And then she became, cray cray swifty tay in my book, or swifty cray cray tay…whatever…

  74. CeeSaw says

    One might say it’s Taylor Swift, but she IS talented. Or was. I liked her better as a blossoming country star than a pop singer, however. So, I’ll say Selena Gomez.

  75. libra123 says

    Going with Katy Perry instead of Taylor Swift since the pic shows a brunette. They are interchangeable to me…have bad taste in men, make terrible music and are petty.

  76. Warrior1461 says

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    She’s Created Conflicts With: Katy Perry

    [Optional] Is her strategy smart or manipulative or mean? Childish at a middle school level, like her current new BF.

  85. pigerella says

    Jeez the first that came to mind was Taylor swift but I don’t think it’s her. It could be anybody really – I can’t decide between Katy perry or, Demi lovato. If I had to pick I’d say Demi

  87. Lollipopkid says

    [Optional] Is her strategy smart or manipulative or mean? its smart, manipulative and mean- but its not personal. Smart business woman! and i LOVE her music, she is so talented

  90. purplecheetah says

    Katy Perry. I was just thinking about this today. She seems petty and as if enjoys the drama….leading me to avoid her more and more.

  92. Persie says

    Singer: Taylor snake
    Created conflicts with: Katy Perry , Kayne and all those supposed Ex of her.

    [Optional]: she is manipulative and mean.

  93. Camila says

    I’m going with Katy Perry because the girl in the picture is a brunette and is cooking. It reminded me of Bon Appetit.
    Taylor Swift.
    Whatever, it’s succesful in getting attention.

  94. wickthefizzler says

    Sounds like either Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift. Gomez has new music out and doing press junkets and Swift did that streaming thing. Both have also either mentioned exes or ex friends in music or interviews for attention.

    Optional: manipulative and mean, not smart because people aren’t idiots, attention doesn’t always equate to sales. Don’t know what tearing down your peers is gonna do for ur career in the long run.

  95. january13 says

    Tay Tay

    Everyone she’s dated, Katy Perry & anyone else she can use for publicity

    I feel like this sounds to easily Taylor. Is there another PR constructed feud I’m forgetting about?

  97. sabrina325 says

    Singer: Taylor Swift, People she’s had conflict with: Kanye West, Katy Perry, Joe Jonas, Camilla Belle, John Mayer, Harry Styles, etc

  98. prinny says

    Throw in both Katy Perry and Taylor Swift who are just about interchangeable in their pettiness.

    Honourable mentions: Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato

    Between all of them they have shaded everyone on the A, B, and C lists. I wonder how all of these “women” will feel about this ridiculousness when they actually reach maturity, if ever.

  99. CanaryCry says

    Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or Gaga, who’s perpetuated one too many rifts with one too many people.

    The strategy is smart, manipulative & mean all in one hot package – & it’s been so good for them. Make drama & follow the money …

  100. mamacita3 says

    Taylor Swift and her rift with Katy Perry. I’ve wondered about this….if this conflict between the two of them was an act for both. Even bad publicity is publicity!

  101. Justmyself says

    Katy Perry.

    Her biggest and longest conflict seems to be with Swift.

    Smart, mean or manipulative? How about stupid. People are bored of both of them over the whole frienemy mess.

  102. sarafruman says

    Singer: Taylor Swift (Clearly)

    She’s Created Conflicts With: Katy Perry (primarily), John Mayer, Harry Styles, pretty much every ex…

    [Optional] Is her strategy smart or manipulative or mean? It’s smart, manipulative and mean.

  103. avalonlee says

    Taylor. Sounds like a smart business tactic to me. And I do think she can sing and she writes her music. I’ve got nothing bad to say here.

    • mostlylurker says

      smart in business has nothing to do with actual musical talent. sure she can sign, so can lots of people. she writes her music, its mediocre and she seems arrested at the emotional age of 15. nope, her talent is exactly whats implied in the BI. social manipulation for business, not any real musical chops.

  104. buddypal says

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    She’s Created Conflicts With: Katy Perry, John Mayer, Joe Jonas, Connor Kennedy, etc.

  105. LAJuice says

    Katy Perry, of course. I don’t think its TSwift, because of the reference to “Talent”- say what you want about Taylor, the girl is talented. Katy, is just auto-tuned breasts.

    conflicts with Swifty

    Will not work, because shes NOT Talented.

    • redstilettos says

      Agree. Taylor has talent as a musician, singer and song writer and I’m not even into her stuff. This is autotune Katy.

    • louisianalady says

      Couldn’t agree more! Taylors song “bad blood” was completely harmless and was never confirmed to be about Katy perry. The song “swish swish bish” (horrible name) references a coffin and Katy perry couldn’t wait to announce it was about T swift!! I will not be watching the new American Idol for one reason…..Katy Perry! A waste of 25 million dollars. Let’s feed the homeless instead of rewarding her pettiness……

    • spaceship says

      I’m going with Katy too, because she’s the one that’s always saying things about Taylor Swift, and I never hear Taylor saying anything about her or anyone else, so I’m guessing that it’s Katy who is “stirring the pot”.

    • Blkgoddess says

      Agree 100%. Swift has been laying low these past few months, while Katy has been running around trying to convince people she’s “woke as fk”. Not a fan of eithet but even I have to say only one has talent…and it’s not Katy Perry.

    • blinkandyoumight says

      yep! she better hope all of her exes (and her current closeted bf) dont come out of the closet! her taking advantage of the world’s homophobia…NOT A GOOD LOOK DAAAARLING

    • Raoul Duke says

      Katy’s the one dropping the album, and giving strange interviews and rehashing the old TSwift feud.
