Girls… you’d think we’d learn! We laugh, we love, we fight, we cry, and if we’re lucky, we get over it and rebuild. 

Sometimes the issues run deeper than the petty stuff, but when it comes to good old fashioned cat-fights, you can be sure there will be both pointless drama and uncharacteristic roller coaster  emotions involved. If the foundation of the friendship is strong enough, girls can usually come out of cat-fights stronger than ever. After all, if you survive a storm (or even a tiny hurricane), you’re probably ready to endure a tsunami in one of those emergency situations. Unfortunately, not all friendships can weather the storms, and Tswift and Katy Perry are no exception. 

If my long hours on the clock watching True Hollywood Stories and Entertainment Tonight have taught me anything at all, it’s that no one can bring the drama quite like a young A-list celeb. If you’re having a bad day, seriously just flip on the E! network. I know it seems like your life sucks, but Kim Kardashian made the conscious decision to get Botox at age 30 so you’re probably doing O.K. Oh, and shout out to that perfectly timed E! News broadcast about Solange going ape in that elevator. I broke a toe in kickboxing that morning but I realized that I could have been Jay Z that day and it really put things in perspective. 

I’m almost shocked that we’re not desensitized to drama at this point in our development, but I guess some things are timeless like black dresses and Bruce Jenner’s face, so here we are again in the midst of a celeb feud and this time, the drama is between two of my favorite ladies, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.  The fight began when Swift gave an interview for Rolling Stone Magazine and commented on her new song “Bad Blood.” The song is said to be about another girl in Hollywood who Swift has never gotten along with, and it was soon clear who she was referring to. 

Swift described this girl as a “straight up enemy,” and proceeded to put the fight in context when she explained “it had to do with business… she tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.” Though there was high speculation, it wasn’t completely clear who her comment was referring to until Perry decided to weigh in via twitter. “Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing,” Perry warned her loyal Kitty Kats. Meow!

This thing clearly got nasty, but I can’t see how these two pop sweethearts can just let this pass without addressing one another head on. The issue might not really get solved, but these two are public figures with respective fans who look to them for inspiration. Given the information we know, I’m not really sure who is at fault. I do know, however, that Taylor Swift’s track record with forgiveness isn’t exactly perfect (you probably don’t want to cross this betch), but I still hope she can pull it together for the sake of public image. At some point we all must learn that it’s better to play nice and keep the more destructive thoughts private… I mean that’s just like the rules of feminism!
