I Am SO Over The Katy/Taylor Feud

I Hope the Girls can RISE Above this Nonsense and Just SHAKE IT OFF!

Two of my favorite, and two of the best and most popular singers, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, are in a public feud, and I refuse to take a side. One, because I like them both, and two because it is a petty middle school fight.

Now, for those of you who don’t know what this feud is about, you are probably living under a rock, but let me explain it to you. This whole feud started because of dancers. Katy had backup dancers on her California Dreams tour, and when that tour wrapped, Taylor had the same dancers for her Red tour. During that time, Katy went on her Prismatic World Tour and took back the dancers she had previously. This left Taylor in a lurch because now, in the middle of her sold-out world tour, Taylor needed to find 3 new dancers. Now, this may not seem like a big deal, but the dancers are just as much a part of the show as the singer is.

This feud, although minor to most people, has caused a lot of tension between the women who used to be friends. So much friction has arisen that they both have made songs about their feud. (Although a fan of both, I do think “Bad Blood” is way better than “Swish Swish,” sorry fellow KatyCats.)

Both Swift and Perry have spoken publicly about being a feminist and promoting peace, equality, and love for women. This feud makes fans think that they really don’t care about each other or other women all that much.

The press is a having a field day with this fight, and I feel, that they are twisting it into something bigger than it needs to be.

Although Taylor has never spoken outright about the fight, “Bad Blood” said it all. Since releasing “Swish, Swish”, Katy has spoken about the fight, and Twitter has been roaring again with news of this feud.

Another reason that people think this feud may still be going on is because on Friday, June 9th Katy’s 4th studio album, Witness was released. This was the same time Taylor decided to put all her back catalog back on streaming services. Her reason for this was because her most recent album, 1989, (And when I say recent I mean 2014. Hurry up Tay, Swifties are dying over here for TS6) had reached 10 million albums sold worldwide, but fans seemed to think otherwise.

Since speaking out about this fight, Katy has apologized and has wished Taylor all of the best. She hopes Taylor can do the same. There has been no comment from Taylor since she has taken a break from the limelight since her tour wrapped. But I’m sure we can expect an epic comeback on TS6!

I hope this feud truly ends soon, so we can get an epic collab!

On a lighter note, buy, stream and dance to Witness. It is a great album, and I’m so proud of Katy, I mean Kathryn for showing her true self!

Also, sit here and wait with me for TS6 to come out. But you can stream her entire music catalog, so get to it!

I wish both of them the best, and will always be a Swiftie AND a KatyCat!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
