Musicians Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have been at each other’s throats for some time. Apparently, this all started way back in 2012 when Perry allegedly attempted to poach some of Swift’s dancers. It has continued, bar a number of ceasefires, since then. A number of other entertainment heavy-weights, like Ruby Rose, have weighed in on both sides. Heck, Ed Sheeran made news by not talking about it.

This month marked a turning point as Swift whipped out a power play; she released her catalogue of music to Spotify on the same day Perry’s new album dropped.

(by the way, when did music start coming out on Fridays?)

Now, Perry is apparently ready for the feud to be over, stating that she is “ready to let it go.” Of course, that statement came one day after her new album, containing the fighting-words single Swish Swish dropped. It seems easy to let the dispute drop after you’ve made money off of it.

That said, I’m not certain that letting it go is within Perry’s power. Swift was the aggrieved party here, after all.

Can a person whose actions started a dispute end it unilaterally?

Thanks in advance for not bothering to say you don’t care about this.
 
Not really. I believe the only true legal recourse remaining is three rounds of mud wrestling.
 
You're welcome.

Since when were there days on which music came out and days on which music didn't come out?

This whole situation reminds me of a feud I used to have with my neighbour. He tried to poach some of my dancers and ever since then we just haven't had the same sort of neighbourly relationship.

It was universalised pretty recently I think.

I had a listen to Swish Swish off the back of this thread and it's actually a bit of a jam. So I'm in favour of the feud.

Feuds have resulted in some good art in the past.
 
Taylor's such a reactionary though.

i never heard why they're mad until now, perry's hot but she shouldn't have interfered with the swift team

I’d prefer if we returned to the topic presented in the first post, namely long-standing conflicts between parties and their resolutions.

When I saw the pic I thought..."Taylor Swift, I know who that is... but who are these other young ladies? And why is that one's hair different colours? She's in the Gandhi quadrant! Gandhi didn't have different colour hair! Or hair... or different coulors... he always wore white... at least in Civ... which is all that counts..."

Anyway I digress... After reading your post... I still don't know who the other three are. I've never heard of either of them. Are they singers?

You likely sabotaged that personal intent when you made it about two pop singers. ;) The last part of your OP perhaps has a bit of discussion value but it's difficult to really tackle it when the backdrop is a celeb feud. People are going to discuss what's most easily accessible in an OP... and you made that popular American singers.

@Sommerswerd: If you only have time to check one of them out, I'd echo GEFM's recommendation of Grimes. She's great. Not the best if you're looking for understandable singing but a very good choice if you're into electronic/vibes music.

Why am I still wasting time complaining about this thread's existence?
So many questions.
