A tune about getting over the haters, with whom both Perry and Minaj are rumored to be [embroiled in feuds](http://time.com/3968932/katy-perry-taylor-swift-nicki-minaj-vmas-bad-blood-feud/ "undefined"), Twitter was quick to catch on to the summer-ready banger and sing its praises. This is the third drop from Perry, following [“Chained to the Rhythm”](http://time.com/4676746/katy-perry-chained-to-the-rhythm-video/ "undefined") featuring Skip Marley and [“Bon Appetit”](http://time.com/4757696/katy-perry-migos-bon-appetit/ "undefined") featuring Migos. Perry and Minaj have not previously sung together, although they have made friendly appearances at awards shows over the years and some expect another collaboration [with Calvin Harris](http://www.edmsauce.com/2017/05/16/calvin-harris-rumored-soft-lips/ "undefined") to be released in short order. In any case, the internet is pretty ecstatic about the confluence of queens. > [](https://twitter.com/cleytu/status/865447604502450178) > [](https://twitter.com/GrandesForYou/status/865420883090853889) > [](https://twitter.com/chandruvicky007/status/865451346098479104) > [](https://twitter.com/minajwave/status/865577187985940482) > [](https://twitter.com/Nicki61941859/status/865420800509173760) > [](https://twitter.com/TaetorThot%5F/status/865424097735356416) > [](https://twitter.com/LOHANTHONY/status/865421118605205504) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4786126/katy-perry-nicki-minaj-swish-swish/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4786126/katy-perry-nicki-minaj-swish-swish/"},"headline":"Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj's New Song 'Swish Swish' Is Inspiring Some Strong Internet Reactions","datePublished":"2017-05-19T16:13:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:48.809Z","description":"The new Nicki Minaj collaboration is getting lots of love on Twitter from Katy and Nicki fans.","url":"https://time.com/4786126/katy-perry-nicki-minaj-swish-swish/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral","Katy Perry","Nicki Minaj"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4786126/katy-perry-nicki-minaj-swish-swish/","name":"Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj's New Song 'Swish Swish' Is Inspiring Some Strong Internet Reactions"}}]}] ```
