  • What's up guys, it's Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Katy Perry's lead single "Daisies" off of KP5 has finally dropped.

  • But after much debate, she's setting the record straight on Taylor's part in the single.

  • The daisy sweater, the cryptic tweets, everything just seemed to perfectly add up to the idea that Taylor Swift would be collaborating with Katy Perry on her new single "Daisies."

  • But after days of speculation and what felt like hint after hint that Katy would be featuring Taylor on the song, she's officially set the record straight.

  • Leading up to the song's release, fans freaked out when Katy shared the news that "Daisies" would be her next single, and within hours, Taylor shared this photo of herself wearing a daisy sweater.

  • It was hardly a coincidence and a cryptic move that Taylor would definitely pull, and after many other clues hidden throughout the week, fans were convinced.

  • The official American Idol account tweeted that they'd be listening to "Daisies" a total of 1,989 times.

  • And she even teased that we'd have to wait and see if the rumors were true come the American Idol finale.

  • Well, you are just gonna have to tune in American Idol next week to see all rumors true or false.

  • The Easter eggs were basically handed to us on a silver platter, so naturally, fans took the idea and ran with it.

  • Fast forward to today when "Daisies" officially debuted and fans were disappointed to see zero mention of Taylor in any of Katy's announcements.

  • But, many Swifties and Katy Cats, who had already listened to the song on repeat throughout the entire morning swore they could hear a second set of vocals in the chorus of the song.

  • When you listen very closely, there does seem to be a second set of vocals.

  • But it seems fans wanted this to come to fruition so bad, that they convinced themselves Taylor is definitely singing with Katy on the track.

  • One user took to Twitter to write, "I swear I hear Taylors voice in that chorus, I'm not cray it's like blended with Katy's voice."

  • Another fan wrote, "I heard Taylor's voice here."

  • Katy is on chorus.

  • I hope I'm not mistaken. But I really do.

  • Listen very well. I knew it's taylor.

  • Until today, the only mention of the writing process Katy shared was on her Instagram post.

  • Writing: "I wrote this song a couple months ago as a call to remain true to the course you've set for yourself, regardless of what others may think."

  • She went on to say: "Recently, it has taken a new meaning for me, in light of what the whole world is experiencing."

  • But during a new interview with Hits Radio Breakfast released this morning, Katy confirmed fans' biggest fear in that Taylor is not at all featured on the track.

  • Taylor Swift appears on this new song, Katy?

  • Oh Matt you cheeky devilno, it's not correct.

  • But the fans are definitely excited for something like that to happen in the future.

  • I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's just not happening this time.

  • But when one of the hosts asked whether Taylor could be featured on another song on the album, Katy simply laughed and replied by saying,"no, not as yet!”

  • She did credit the fans for being so "fun" and digging for clues since she first announced the single.

  • Adding: "They do search far and wide for Easter eggs."

  • And we do put them in our visuals and in lyric videos and music videos and content that we created.

  • But Katy was quick to note that, "Not everything is an Easter egg."

  • Some things are just flowers.

  • Call me crazy, but for some reason I'm still just not fully convinced

  • Thankfully I'm not the only one, because fans have already chimed in on Katy's interview, writing comments like, "Why do I feel like she's lying?"

  • And "A remix could still happen."

  • But while we wait for some sort of magic to happen, let's show Katy some love and stream her new single "Daisies," out everywhere now!
