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.

Was it unprofessional? Sure. Was it a huge deal? No. This is a Taylor Swift tour. The dancers don't have a ton of intense choreography to learn. Bring a couple industry veterans in and they'll pick it up in a heartbeat.

Can't blame them

An absolute mess, but it sounds like the dancers were really the ones to blame. Leaving during the middle of a tour to chase another opportunity is very unprofessional.

There's definitely more to the Katy/Taylor feud than this, though...

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?

Nope, the article says they felt more chemestry with Katy and they were following their passion. I'm just saying that Taylor makes waaaaay more money than Katy so she could have payed them way better, I mean, Taylor does stadium shows.

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

Nope, I dislike them both equally, I was just asking for a logic argument.

This seems to be like a business to me Taylor shouldn't have dramatized everything. I like Taylor and can't wait to hear her new album but it seems like this era is shaping up to be a mess

Ok yeah I see why he would defend her

You're making the case that he was always Katy's dancer to begin with, so clearly he would go back to her when asked.

Is this referring to the Red Tour and the PWT? Because the Red Tour started a four-month hiatus in February 2014 and the PWT didn't start until May 2014, which means Katy gave Taylor a three-month advance.

Honestly this is the dancers' fault. Its neither of the girls' faults and its not like Katy is the one who contacts and negotiates contracts with the dancers, she has people to do that for her. We should be blaming the dancers themselves and whoever negotiated their contracts, not Katy or Taylor.

This "feud" has been blown so widely out of proportion when it doesn't even make sense. Katy has complimented Taylor multiple times so why would she be trying to sabotage her tour?

Taylor always playing the victim She needs to grow up

[LP54]

Taylor should have had the dancers sign contracts period.

Promo tour? Does this mean the dancers left for the promotional performances before PRISM's release? Because if promo tour refers to the PWT, wouldn't the Red tour also be a promo tour?

ok so

I was with Taylor for the first six months,

The Red tour started on March 13th. 6 months later (including March) is August 13, the day after Roar was released and PRISM promo was probably being planned.

This has to be referring to performances leading up to Prism's release (VMAs, for example) and not the Prismatic World Tour.

Bye Taylor Swift , please go to the same trash can with Flopga, Lorde , the trash trinity

The mess

Wow I dont even like Katy Perry but can we please apply some logic to the situation?

1) Knowing what we know of Katy Perry's career involvement and the amount of organisation that goes into planning such a massive world tour, such a menial task of scouting around for some backup dancers was obviously done by one of her employees and not the star herself

2) That employee probably just emailed lots of dancer agents and agencies to hire people, and obviously the first place they would have looked was the same familiar dancers Katy has worked with before

3) That employee would have no way of knowing and no reason to know what those dancers were doing when sending out the offer. Why would Katy's team bother to keep tabs on what all the many hundreds of staff employed for the last world tour were doing years after it ended? They were just sending out offers and contracts, and if the dancers were already employed they would be expected to decline.

4) There may well be bad blood between the two stars. But what seems more plausible - Katy Perry, who remained classy even during the gaga feud, decided that 1) she didn't like taylor and 2) she wanted to sabotage her career and an entire arena tour and 3) she was going to do this by poaching a few crummy backup dancers from a taylor swift concert in full view of the public, a move that would come across as petty and bitter?

Or that Taylor Swift is just jumping on yet another tired and predictable opportunity to play the victim?

Grow up Taylor. I can see how from your perspective it might have seemed like an intentional sabotage, but once again you need to come to the realization that not every little thing that happens is about you.

Precisely. And that is where the problem lies.
