Is there some betrayal within Taylor Swift's arsenal of BFFs? If you believe they should be anti-Katy Perry then the answer is yes. Last night (May 31), Swift's friends Ellie Goulding and Lorde partied with Swift's pop music rival... and then attempted to delete all mentions of it from social media.
Goulding, Lorde and associates all partied hard last night, and the "Love Me Like You Do" singer posted a drunken fun photo on her Instagram.
"Don't really remember this but... good times," Goulding wrote in an image with friends, including Perry. However, soon after, the photo was deleted from her Instagram. Luckily, Vulture got the screencap.
So, why even bother? Fans in tune with the world of pop music drama will know that there's some serious "Bad Blood" between Perry and Swift. Though Swift never revealed the name of her fellow pop star that inspired her latest 1989 single, she did give up this bit to Rolling Stone: "For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not," she said. "She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?'" After it was revealed that her fellow pop star also tried to "sabotage" an arena tour, it didn't take much sleuthing to realize the single was about Perry. So, this betrayal may serve up some more drama in the Swift bestie camp.
