Katy Perry: Taylor trying to 'assassinate my character'
Fox411: Katy Perry won't let feud with Taylor Swift die
Katy Perry kissed a girl and liked it, but that girl was not Taylor Swift.
After fans worked themselves up into a frenzy with rumors that Swift, 29, locked lips with Perry, 34, in Swift's upcoming music video for "You Need to Calm Down," Swift shut down speculation once and for all.
“Hey uhhhh @TaylorSwift not to question you, but you do know there’s a leaked concept that you and Katy dress as fries and burgers and kiss,” a Swift fan wrote on Tumblr, adding, “This isn’t me making jokes or anything. If there is indeed a scene like that, you need to cut it right now before it airs because it’s genuinely a really bad idea. Seriously."
