Katy Perry is said determined to revive her career by riding Taylor Swift's skyrocketing success.
The "Dark Horse" singer and the 14-time Grammy winner were previously embroiled in a highly-publicized feud in 2014, stemming from allegations that Katy had hired dancers who previously worked with Taylor.
As the mom-of-one steps away from her role on American Idol, reports suggest that she is now seeking to mend ties with Taylor to enhance her public perception.
Is Katy Perry's Career Linked to Taylor Swift's Fame?
Fans were surprised to see Katy Perry enthusiastically dancing and singing along to one of Taylor Swift's songs in an ERAS tour concert in Sydney, Australia, showcasing her true Swiftie spirit.
Despite their longstanding rivalry, reports suggest that the "I Kissed A Girl" singer is facing a career downturn, having not produced a hit in years and facing backlash for her departure from American Idol.
According to insider sources who spoke with the National Enquirer (via Radar Online), Katy is allegedly seeking a boost of positivity, and aligning with Taylor publicly would serve as a quick pick-me-up for her public image.
What Started Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's Feud?
Tensions escalated between the two pop stars when Taylor wrote the song "Bad Blood," reportedly inspired by feelings of betrayal from her fellow artist following allegations that Katy had poached her backup dancers.
According to a source in the music industry, the "Lavender Haze" singer accused Katy of deliberately sabotaging her tour in 2014, leading to a heated feud between the two.
This rift lasted for several years until Katy extended an olive branch to Taylor some time ago, ultimately reconciling at various industry gatherings.
Reports also indicate that Katy is recognizing the need for a fresh approach to regain the spotlight and is considering a potential alliance with Taylor to revitalize her image and career.
Is A Taylor Swift x Katy Perry Collaboration Happening?
Rumors suggest that a musical collaboration between the two artists is brewing. If true, it could lead to a lucrative outcome for Katy Perry, paving the way for a successful turn of events.
Another source recently shared that the "Hot N Cold" hitmaker decided to leave American Idol following the conclusion of its 22nd season. She also teased the possibility of fresh music material in the works.
"Well, you know, this fall, this September, I'm going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio. It's really exciting. It's a big deal for people all over the world, especially my Brazilian fans."
She further told Jimmy Kimmel, "So I think this will probably be my last season for Idol. I love Idol so much. It's connected me with the heart of America. But I need to feel that pulse of my own beat."
However, it's best to take the outlet's report with a grain of salt.
