always playing the victim

if the dancers were content with what they were doing on the red tour, then they wouldn't have left. period point blank. there was no "sabotage"

Why are y'all blaming Katy? All she did was ASK them to join. It was their decision; they could've said no, but they didn't. They had a much cloer bond with Katy, and had more to do with Katy. Like he said, he was bored with Taylor. And I'm sure the dancers gave Taylor some kind of notice. I don't think they just "disappeared".

Speak the truth.

Katy is in the wrong, imo.

When you know the dancers are already on tour with Taylor, then go find new dancers since they are already working for someone else.

Very unprofessional. You can't really blame Taylor for being upset.

Of course tho, in typical Taylor fashion.. a song was written about this and already has gotten considerable amount of buzz online.

The industry will certainly know who these dancers are. They should hope Katy remains successful and employs them on every tour she does because no one else is going to want to hire them if the dancers jump ship based on 'their feelings' or on how well they think they're being 'used' and whatnot. A job is a job.

Ouuuh. Taylor thought the dancers were her possession and became mad when she thought Katy snatched her "dolls".

That's exactly how a Katy feud works. Someone out there has a mental problem, lack of life experience, awful attitude/personality,... and can't handle a joke said by Katy, can't handle something Katy didn't do wrong,...

Their seething ensures that everytime someone is mentioning Katy, they feel like Katy is sticking her finger in their wounds, while in reality they are grabbing Katy's hand to push the fingers in their wounds.


The Catholics called it "mortification of the flesh".

Given enough time, a Katy feud can take someone's mental health, make them erratic in behaviour, make them act so nasty, delusional,... that they end up losing all friends/allies. There isn't a more effective way to ensure someone never be able to stand upright again by breaking their back, popping their mind,...

acceptance is the key to be truly free

One of the other meanings: Only way to save yourself from a Katy feud is total acceptance of Katy, not having hard feelings for any Katy joke or action anymore,... It sounds like the final chapter of the book 1984:

Conversion

An alcoholic Winston sits by himself in the Chestnut Tree Cafe, still troubled by false memories which he is convinced are indeed false. He tries to put them out of his mind when suddenly a news bulletin announces Oceania's "decisive victory" over Eurasian armies in Africa. A raucous celebration begins outside, and Winston imagines himself a part of it. As he looks up in admiration at a portrait of Big Brother, Winston realises that "the final, indispensable, healing change" within his own mind had only been completed at just that moment. He engages in a "blissful dream" in which he offers a full, public confession of his crimes and is executed. He feels that all is well now that he has at last achieved a victory over himself, ending his previous "stubborn, self-willed exile" from the love of Big Brother – a love Winston now happily returns.

The funniest thing about a Katy feud, is that Katy isn't playing the war games. It's something imagined by the people feeling pressed by her.

@swissman: That's why we know the dancers went to management to discuss their contract. You can't just up and leave without any sort of confrontation during a tour.

That's true but you can't say exactly what happened unless you know exactly what happened. They may have just said "we want to break our contract" instead of saying things like "What can you do for us?", and Katy may have offered to pay whatever cost it was to break the contract. Just one example of the "what ifs" we could name if we don't actually know what happened.

ofc she would be "in the wrong" to you though...

The problem lies in people thinking Katy knew the dancers were with Taylor. Her people probably contacted them to ask if they would like to work with her again because she requested them, they thought about, and said yes. I really think Taylor is making a way bigger deal of this then need be. I mean, really, over some dancers? Stars switch dancers all the time. Rih and Bey's dancers are sometimes interchangeable. You didn't see the Hive throwing a fit when Bey's lead male dancer, Bryan T. went to dance for Rih.

Taylor saying lies obviously

Shame on Katy for actually caring enough to establish a personal connection with her dancers, giving them stimulating choreo, and probably paying them better.

Why paying them better tho? Taylor's 3 tours have outgrossed Katy's only finished tour.

So you mean to say her dancers were so desperate to be out of Taylor's company that they took the job with less pay just to get away?

Is it supposed to defend Taylor? Because it's not helping.

@katykater I LOVE your posts Genius.

Anyway, Taylor is overreacting, as per usual.

edit: wait what did Taylor say about this?

I would imagine Taylor paid better since her tour makes more money. I think it's always important to follow the money in your career!

That would make it even more impressive that they still wanted to work with Katy over Taylor, so either way

[revel8]

Those dancers were very unprofessional. Leaving a tour half way through with little notice? You commit to do a whole tour, you don't leave in the middle and screw over that artist. If you cannot commit to the whole tour then don't join it in the first place. Katy was in the wrong trying to recruit people who already had a commitment to the Red Tour. If she was supposed to be Taylor's friend, she would not try and do that to her.

Yeah, It's called work ethic. Something so simple that Katy stans fail to understand.

Blaming Katy is like blaming the guy your significant other cheats on you with instead of blaming your significant other. The dancers didn't HAVE to leave. Katy probably wanted them back because they got so close during her last world tour. The dancers were the ones who decided to leave, because they were bored and liked Katy better. It's not Katy's fault.
