Katy Perry, current frenemy of Taylor Swift, is about to release a new album. She addressed whether there's a "Bad Blood" response track coming in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly released today. Her official answer was no.
She also didn't want to talk about whether Swift's song was about her. As she put it:
Well that's not my question to answer—if it's about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that's calling out any one person.
But Perry expanded on her answer, and she has some pointed words for someone:
One thing to note is: You can't mistake kindness for weakness and don't come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that's not to any one person and don't quote me that it is, because it's not. It's not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don't forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It's not even about me! It's about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there's a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.
She also just tweeted:
Well, we'll find out definitively soon enough, when the album drops.
