Katy Perry has let the claws out and accused Taylor Swift of ‘capitalising on the takedown of a woman’.
Just a day after a Twitter catfight between Nicki Minaj and the pop princess, the Dark Horse singer chimed in on the row with some rather obvious retorts thrown at one of the participants.
Finally confirming there is Bad Blood between the pair, the 30-year-old singer took to the microblogging site on Wednesday to seemingly slam Taylor, 25, who she has had an on-going feud with.
Letting the claws out: The 30-year-old singer seemingly criticised Taylor as she wrote that the singer ‘unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..’
The California Girls hitmaker tweeted to her 72.9million followers: ‘Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman…’
it has been rumoured for months that the leggy country singer’s latest hit single Bad Blood was directed at Katy over unresolved personal issues between the two.
This all began last September when Taylor said in an interview with Rolling Stone that her song Bad Blood was about a female musician – and ‘straight-up enemy.’
Katy then tweeted with a possible slant in Swift’s direction: ‘Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing.’
The pop stars have been in each other’s paths for many years, and the pair even seemed to be friends for a while, gladly posing for photos together.
Taylor elaborated more to the music publication: ‘For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not.
She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, “Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?”
‘Then last year, the other star crossed a line. She did something so horrible, I was like, “Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies.” And it wasn’t even about a guy!
‘It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.’
As TMZ reported, the feud ignited when three of Taylor’s dancers quit to go work for Katy.

Taylor ‘felt betrayed’ because she had considered the dancers as family, the news site reported.
The two share more than dancers in common as Katy is currently dating musician John Mayer, who Taylor famously dated in the Fall of 2009.
On Wednesday, Nicki tried to clarify her comments as she posted a screenshot of a Marie Claire article along with a lengthy caption thanking certain media outlets that she felt helped maker her point.
She clarified: ‘Nothing to do with any of the women, but everything to do with a system that doesn’t credit black women for their contributions to pop culture as freely/quickly as they reward others.
‘We are huge trendsetters, not second class citizens that get thrown crumbs. This isn’t anger. This is #information.’
The rapper finished up the post with a rather positive message aimed toward MTV, as she previously hit out at the music channel for the amount of nominations she initially received.
She finished: ‘It’s all love to MTV. Kisses to my fans and thank you for my 3 nominations.’
