Taylor Swift's ''Bad Blood'' Music Video

UPDATE: Reps for Katy Perry told Billboard that reports the singer intends to seek revenge against Taylor Swift with a song called "1984" are completely untrue. "Katy Perry’s managers at Direct Management Group confirm that this story is completely false," a rep for the singer at Universal told the website. "Katy Perry was not involved in writing, singing, recording or registering this song."



PREVIOUSLY: Katy Perry has five years of life experience on Taylor Swift, so we'd like to think she's wiser and knows better than to get sucked into feuds where tabloids end up being the only clear winner. Here's the deal, Perry just registered a new song with her music publisher, BMI, called “1984," which is significant because she was born in 1984 and her alleged pop rival Taylor Swift's top-selling album is called "1989" -- also her birth year.

And anyone who is reading this in the first place probably knows that, Swift's song "Bad Blood" is rumored to have been written about Perry because she apparently jacked Swift's backup dancers (even though said dancers have claimed Swift always knew they planned on leaving her tour to return to Perry's).

After Swift told Rolling Stone she had written "Bad Blood" about a fellow pop star, Perry basically confirmed the Internet's gut feeling on the whole thing when she made a comment on Twitter insinuating America's Sweetheart was actually the Queen Bee of mean girls, writing, "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing...."

The reason everyone's interested in the prospect of such a song ... Taylor got pissed off at Katy last September after 3 of Taylor's backup dancers bailed on Taylor to do backup for Katy. We broke the story ... the 3 dancers had worked with Katy long before and when they signed up with Taylor, they wanted a 30-day out if Katy launched a new tour. Katy had no beef with Taylor, but Taylor was bitter.



So when the story broke that Katy was attached to "1984" (the year she was born) -- a play on Taylor's "1989" album -- everyone thought it was a response to Taylor's song "Bad Blood," which is rumored to be about her feud with Katy. But here's what we found out. "1984" was actually registered 5 days after we broke the story about the 3 dancers jumping ship. Sources tell us the management company BMG in Sweden registered the song at the behest of Andreas Carlsson. By the way, Carlsson co-wrote "Waking Up in Vegas," which Katy recorded.
