The story behind the apology!
As seen on Instagram Story on Tuesday, Katy Perry sent Taylor Swift a literal olive branch to “clear the air” on their “past miscommunications.”

As you may or may not know, the two began feuding after the American Idol host reportedly stole dancers from the Reputation singer years ago.
According to an ET Online source on Wednesday, the Swish Swish musician sent the apology to prove that women should not be pitted against each other.
The insider explains:
“Katy planned a very personal, sweet apology and took time to write a kind note in hopes Taylor would see how much she cared about putting this behind them… Katy told friends if Taylor didn’t accept this apology, she would keep trying because she is done holding on to the past and wants to be part of the change in today’s society. She wants to set a good example for women, so she planned to never give up, if that is what it took.”
Now that Taylor has responded to Katy’s note, the two can hopefully become friends again.
“Katy hopes they finally can be supportive of each other’s music and maybe one day soon even hang out together again… Katy realizes they need to take it one day at a time, but that this is a great start.”
Apparently, Orlando Bloom‘s flame has been trying to make amends with Swift for quite some time.
“Katy and Taylor’s years of cruel comments about one another in their interviews, their shots at each other on their social media and their full-blown attacks in their music videos, continued to show their one goal — revenge… In the beginning, both Katy and Taylor were to blame for their digs at one another, but Katy has been trying to make amends for some time. Each attempt by Katy to apologize or show Taylor respect went either unnoticed or worse, ignored.”
As we reported in June 2017, in an interview with Ariana Huffington, Perry said she forgives Taylor and is “sorry for anything [she] ever did.” Unfortunately, Taylor just “wasn’t having it,” and reportedly kept the feud going.
“She hates that feeling of having bad blood… She often told friends she wanted to end this fight with Taylor, but didn’t know how to make that happen. Katy’s attempts to apologize through her interviews seemed to have no effect on Taylor. She kept trying to show Taylor she cared and wanted to end this rift, but Taylor wasn’t having it.”
Their beef was especially awkward for mutual friends, who felt they had to pick sides.
“Most of their friends have come to terms with their disdain for one another, but it hasn’t made social situations easy for anyone… Their mutual friends often felt obligated to choose ‘Team Taylor’ or ‘Team Katy.'”
Despite Katy’s olive branch, their drama might not be over, just yet.
According to The Sun Online, Katy was “surprised” that Taylor posted her handwritten note on social media:
“Katy expected that Taylor would post something about it, but she didn’t expect the actual letter to go on social. The thing is, you can only see part of what Katy wrote and it looks like she’s taking sole responsibility for the entire feud. Without context, it looks like she’s taking the blame for everything and obviously there’s a lot more to it than that.”
Can’t we all just get along??
