Katy Perry is openly showing her love for Taylor Swift, revealing that she's obsessed with the song "Eldest Daughter" from her new album Life of a Showgirl. A friendship that once seemed impossible is now shining again.
To see her Katy Perry openly supporting Taylor Swift may have once seemed unthinkable — but the pop scene is changing, and the two women are showing that friendship can triumph even after years of tension. This time, Katy made the sweetest public gesture: she uploaded the song “Eldest Daughter” from Taylor Swift’s new album to her Instagram Stories, Life of a Showgirl, showing that she not only follows the music of her former "rival", but also admires it.
The post came a week after the release of Taylor Swift's twelfth album, which is already breaking records on Spotify. With Life of a Showgirl becoming the most streamed album in just 11 hours, Katy Perry's move has added yet another reason for online discussion — but this time, not for drama, but for empathy and respect.

Katy Perry, who is the middle of three siblings, wrote in the caption of the post that "there's something so real about this song." With this phrase, she showed that she feels closer than ever to Swift's emotional depth. This particular move came after Katy's presence at Eras Tour in March 2024, where he posted a backstage selfie with Taylor, writing: "I saw an old friend shine again tonight."
This image was remembered by fans as the definitive “end of an era” of their famous feud — a feud that spawned two of the most iconic songs of the 2010s: Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” and Katy Perry’s “Swish Swish.” And yet, five years later, the story has ended in the most mature way possible — two women who grew up in music, learned from their mistakes, and now openly support each other.
In her previous interview with Howard Stern Show, Katy Perry had stated: "Gossip takes the elevator, but the truth takes the stairs." This phrase went viral because it perfectly expressed the mood of reconciliation between the two artists. She had said at the time that their conflict had been exaggerated by the media and that in reality she always wanted the best for Taylor.

The moment that finally put an end to their feud came in 2019, when Taylor Swift released the music video for “You Need to Calm Down.” In it, Katy Perry appears wearing a burger costume, while Taylor is dressed as French fries — the two embrace, sending the most powerful message of reconciliation. That image became a symbol of female unity and acceptance in the music industry, away from competition and pettiness.
Katy later revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that the first move was when she sent Taylor Swift a real olive branch, accompanied by a letter of apology. "I wanted to show that there's nothing between us anymore. We can be allies, not rivals," she said. Since then, the two singers have started meeting at events, being photographed together, and speaking publicly about each other with respect.
Taylor Swift, for her part, has spoken positively about Katy Perry several times. In a recent interview for Life of a Showgirl, said that “knowing that you have friends who were once rivals is the most human evolution.” Many fans believe that the song “Eldest Daughter” that Katy posted may contain references to their friendship — a story of adulthood, self-discovery, and acceptance.

The Life of a Showgirl, released on October 3, is considered one of Taylor Swift's most personal works. With themes of strength, femininity, and rebirth, the album has already become a symbol of evolution for the artist. Katy's choice to show her support for the project felt like a statement of unity — a message that female friendship and mutual support can be stronger than any rivalry.
Perry herself has stated it clearly: "I'm grateful that we were able to reconcile publicly and be an example for younger girls. I always wanted the best for her, and now we can talk about it openly."
Fans of both singers flooded social media with enthusiastic comments, seeing two pop icons supporting each other, rather than competing. It's a moment that signals how much the mindset in the music industry has changed: from conflict to collaboration, from "Bad Blood" to "Good Energy."
The friendship between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift is stronger than ever. And the image of Katy streaming Taylor Swift's new album is perhaps the most beautiful proof that the era of female solidarity in pop has begun.
