Who can forget the infamous Taylor Swift/Katy Perry feud of the early 2010s? According to this very comprehensive timeline of events, the beef began during a 2011 tour when Taylor allegedly felt that Perry was trying to “sabotage” her by hiring some of her former backup dancers. In fact, the song “Bad Blood” is even rumored to be about their falling out! And while the feud was incredibly entertaining to watch unfold on Twitter, it’s since been squashed, and the two are best gal pals once again.
