The 27-year-old singer takes a jab at the 'Chained to the Rhythm' hitmaker by releasing her whole music catalog on all streaming services on the same day Katy releases her new album.

AceShowbiz - Remember when Katy Perry told James Corden on "Carpool Karaoke" that she wanted Taylor Swift to end their feud? Well, Taylor surely makes herself clear now. Things are getting worse for the two pop stars as Taylor has decided to release her entire music catalog on all streaming services, especially Spotify, on the same day Katy releases her new album "Witness".
The announcement was made by Taylor Nation, the official Instagram account of Taylor's management team, on Thursday, June 8. They wrote in the caption, "In celebration of 1989 selling over 10 Million Albums Worldwide and the RIAA's 100 Million Song Certification announcement, Taylor wants to thank her fans by making her entire back catalog available to all streaming services tonight at midnight."
Prior to this, Taylor was known as an artist who restricted most of her music on Spotify due to her affiliation with Apple Music. Thus, many speculate that the bold move is made to get back at Katy. It seems like Taylor doesn't want to just sit and watch her nemesis rant about their beef and make her look like the bad guy.
In a recent interview, Katy claimed that Taylor "assassinated" her character on the infamous diss track "Bad Blood". She shared, "No one has asked me about my side of story, and there are three sides of every story: one, two, and the truth. I mean, I'm not Buddha- things irritate me. I wish that I could turn the other cheek every single time, but I'm also not a pushover, you know? Especially when someone tries to assassinate my character with little girls [her fans]. That's so messed up!"
And just when we thought Katy only made one song, "Swish Swish", to respond to Taylor's "Bad Blood", the 32-year-old songstress apparently has other tracks to get back at Taylor. Two songs from her latest effort, titled "Hey Hey Hey" and "Pendulum", have similar lyrics to "Swish Swish", and fans can't help but wonder if they are other diss tracks aimed at the "Blank Space" singer.
On "Pendulum", Katy mentions "receipts", which can also be found in "Swish Swish". The lyrics read, "You got me teeming, ain't so green, ah/ You earn this spark at your receipts, ah/ Funny that I add attendance to your dreams/ Still, you never sleep, no you never sleep, ah."
Meanwhile, on "Hey Hey Hey", the lyrics read, "Cause I can be zen and I can be the storm, yeah/ Smell like a rose and I pierce like a thorn, yeah/ Karate chopping the cliches and norms all in a dress/ Yeah, I bounce back like a pro 'cause I'm so resilient/ LOL at all your limits/ Keep your penny thought, I'm making a mint."
