After years and years of feuding, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have finally put everything behind them. Just a few weeks after both stars decided to make amends, the "ME!" singer got candid about why they are friends again.
As OK! readers know, Taylor, 29, and Katy, 34, were friends for years until they allegedly had a falling out over backup dancers. In an interview with Rolling Stones, Taylor said her 2014 hit “Bad Blood” was about a female artist who tried to “sabotage an entire tour.”

A few weeks later, Taylor released her second single to her upcoming album, "You Need To Calm Down" on June 14. She dropped the music video for the single with the same title, and it included a surprising cameo from Katy. In the footage, the stars are seen hugging.

"I just wanted to make sure that everything was really good with us and that it was like very real before we let anyone know, like, we're not only good but we're friends again," she shared.

"It was just fully sincere and fully like we realized we've grown up, we've grown enough to realize the fact that us feeling pitted against each other for so long really did add to whatever tension we were feeling in our friendship...it's a really positive thing for both of us in our lives," she added.
During another interview, this time with Capital Breakfast, Taylor said, "Something felt so much lighter about my life when things became really good between us,
