  • Fans have been eagerly awaiting a musical collab between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift

  • since an olive branch was extended back in 2018, but after Katy's most recent interview,

  • it looks like we might have some solid answers and we never thought we'd live in a world

  • where Taylor and Katy made amends, so really, a collab doesn't seem too far out of the

  • realm of possibilities

  • So the burning question remains -- ARE KATY PERRY AND TAYLOR SWIFT ABOUT TO DROP A DUET?!

  • According to Katy, the truth will be set free in just a few short days, but that truth may

  • or may not be the answer we've been hoping for.

  • In a new Zoom interview with ExtraTV, Katy teased the possibility of a collaboration

  • on Monday night while promoting her upcoming American Idol performance, and let me just

  • say that this girl sure knows how to keep fans on their toes

  • Shameless promotion plug, but we'll take what we can get.

  • While Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie couldn't help but laugh at Katy's response, I should

  • note that this technically isn't the first time Katy and Taylor collaborated on a musical

  • project

  • Fans were shocked to their core to see Katy make an appearance in Taylor's music video

  • forYou Need To Calm Downreleased last June.

  • But if we're counting the first time Taylor and Katy collaborated IN STUDIO together,

  • the verdict is still out.

  • Just last year, Katy revealed that she wouldn't “rule out” a collaboration with Taylor,

  • saying QUOTE, “I'm open, I'm open.”

  • She also mentioned some of her favorite songs by Taylor, adding, “You know, one of my

  • favourite songs of hers off of a couple of records past is 'Begin Again'.

  • And I really like what she's saying in 'The Archer'.”

  • Katy also praised Taylor for her talent and songwriting ability, saying, “I think she's

  • really intelligent, there's lots of layers to her.

  • You know, I get the singles, a lot of people know us from the singles but when you dig

  • deep, there's depth.”

  • But rumors sparked back up just last week when Katy announced the first single off of

  • KP5, calledDaisies,” set to drop this Friday, May 15th.

  • Fans were quick to notice that on the same day as Katy posted her announcement, Taylor

  • shared a photo of herselfwearing a sweater covered in daisies.

  • This is hardly a coincidence considering Taylor's calculated past of teasing fans when new music

  • is set to drop.

  • Naturally, fans began posting comments with even more clues that alluded to Taylor Swift

  • being featured onDaisies,” like one user who found out that the actual sweater

  • is called the 'Bali DAISY Jane' online.

  • Another fan shared side-by-side photos of Taylor and Katy in a field full of flowers.

  • This thread prompted many other theories from Katy's appearance in Taylor's music video,

  • like this tweet Katy posted that read, “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Daisies

  • are the friendliest flower,” which also happens to be a similar lyric inYou Need

  • To Calm Down

  • Another user took note of a MAJOR clue that the official American Idol account dropped

  • last week.

  • The account helped promote Katy's single, writing, “We can't wait to play this like

  • 1,989 times in a row.”

  • Hmmm..

  • 1,989… as in 1989 AKA the title of Taylor's FIFTH studio album, which will be the same

  • number of albums Katy has dropped after KP5 this year.

  • Katy also replied to a fan via social media who asked if she could announce the Taylor

  • collab, to which Katy sent back a cryptic 'eyes' emoji.

  • And if you wanna get really granular, a daisy flower is said to symbolize new beginnings,

  • transformation and purity.

  • Back when Taylor and Katy made amends, she revealed QUOTE, “She and I have been fine

  • for a while and really on good terms but we didn't know if we were ever gonna really

  • tell people about it.

  • We wanted to make sure that was solid between us before we ever made the public aware.”

  • Seems to us like both Katy and Taylor have gone through a major transformation phase,

  • over the years, so we're putting it out into the universe now that a collab is surely

  • underway!

  • Be sure to let me know if you think a Katy/Taylor collab is underway down here in the comments.
