Katy Perry on her new single: Swish is an anthem for people who bully you

Katy Perry’s new single ‘Swish Swish’ has arrived and the pop star says that it is an anthem for people who are being bullied.

The song, which features Nicki Minaj, is widely believed to be about Katy’s nemesis Taylor Swift, who wrote ‘Bad Blood’ about their feud.

Although Katy did not confirm the Taylor connection, she admitted it is a retort to bullies, reported Rolling Stone.

“I think it’s a great anthem for people to use whenever someone’s trying to hold you down or bully you. That’s kind of what this record is about, it’s just like a 360-degree liberation,” Katy, 32, told chat show host Jimmy Fallon.

“’Chained to the Rhythm’ was a political liberation, ‘Bon Appetit’ was a sexual liberation, and now ‘Swish’ represents the liberation from all the negative that doesn’t serve you.”
