Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager.
Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.
After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.

She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.”Just one day after that story was published, on Sept. 9, 2014, Perry posted a tweet saying, “Watch out for the Regina George in sheep’s clothing…”Many of the dancers from Swift’s Red Tour went to perform with Perry on her Prism tour.
In the lyrics to “Bad Blood,” Swift sings, “Cause baby, now we got bad blood … Now we got problems/ And I don’t think we can solve ’em.”In 2015, Nicki Minaj was upset that her video for “Anaconda” was snubbed by MTV Video Music Awards’ Video of the Year category. “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” she wrote on Twitter.Swift’s “Bad Blood” video won that prize, and Swift took to Twitter, assuming Minaj was firing.
