The 'Dark Horse' singer has sent an invitation to her pop nemesis, and it's up to the latter whether to accept it or not.

AceShowbiz - Katy Perry is seemingly ready to end her feud with Taylor Swift. The "Dark Horse" hitmaker is offering olive branch as she reveals to New York Times that she has invited her pop rival to a pre-Grammy party she is hosting in sponsorship with Spotify.
It's unclear if Taylor will accept the invite, but she once boycotted with Spotify and pulled her music from the streaming service. Another artist snubbing Spotify who also gets an invite from Katy is Adele. "It's just up to their schedules," the host said.
The party will take place at Cicada in downtown L.A. on Saturday, February 13. "Artists are always looking for a way to connect with each other, but we don't get that authentic connection because we're either being pulled or pushed," Katy said of the bash.
The feud between Katy and Taylor started after the latter talked about a mean girl that inspired her single "Bad Blood". Without giving any names, Taylor told Rolling Stone in 2014, "She did something so horrible. ... And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me."
Katy fired back with a cryptic message about "Regina George in sheep's clothing" as media quickly referred the unnamed star to her. She later suggested in an interview that Taylor's "sweetheart" reputation was nothing more but a media narration.
When Taylor had a misunderstanding with Nicki Minaj last year, Katy was quick to diss the country/pop singer in another cryptic post, "Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..."
Later in a GQ interview that year, Taylor denied "Bad Blood" was about Katy as she clarified, "I never said anything that would point a finger in the specific direction of one specific person, and I can sleep at night knowing that."
