Katy Perry Detailed The 'Process' Of Becoming Friends With Taylor Swift Again

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry made it very clear that their longstanding feud was finally over once they appeared dressed as a burger and fries in the "You Need To Calm Down" music video. But although the two are companions again, diehard fans of the pop stars are still dying to know how they managed to squash their beef — that is, up until right now. Earlier this week, Perry revealed all of the reconciliation details on KIIS 1065's "The Kyle & Jackie O Show," and the story is just as sweet as you'd imagine.


The "Never Really Over" singer's choice to at least try and make amends with Swift came as soon as she realized just how much they have in regular. Although never get it twisted: Getting to a good place took some time. "Well, it sort of was a process," Perry mentioned. "... I sent her a literal olive branch and also a note apologizing for my part in all of it, any time if she began her Reputation tour. I just thought she was about to embark on something new and big and needed the support."


So what was it that made Katy realize it was time for them to move on? For Perry, it was the sheer fact that Taylor's one of the few people in this world who can truly understand her, seeing as their careers have put them in very unique positions. "I realized how much we have in usual and maybe there's only five other people in the world that can have the same kind of conversations and understand where we're coming from and that we should celebrate our commonality and our friendship and have the ability to be there for each other," she explained.


And once Perry came to the conclusion that it was time to be companions again, she approached Swift at a party in hopes that she could be interested in putting their rocky past beyond them as well. "I just went up to her and I was like, 'Hey, you know it's been a long time and I think we've grown up a little and I just wanted to mention I'm sorry and I'm really here for you and that I love you and I hope that we can be companions in the future.'"


Fast forward a little, and the two are not only companions again, however co-stars in Swift's latest music video — an idea that Taylor shared with Katy over a batch of fresh-baked cookies. "We began texting and she had this really cool idea and I mentioned, 'Yeah, let's talk about it,' and she invited me over to her home. She made me some cookies — and she actually makes those cookies — and they're actually delicious."


Overall, the choice to move forward as companions was not just in Katy and Taylor's best interest, yet in the perfect interest of their fans, also. According to Perry, she and Swift have a chance to be examples of kindness love, and so they weren't able to be good examples of that as soon as they were feuding. "I think that both her and I, we have influence to young people and especially young ladies who are in this kind of situation day in and day out at school," she mentioned. "It's astonishing that we've had this possibility to change and I just hope that other people can learn from it too."
