Despite [her vocal argument against streaming albums](http://time.com/3554468/why-taylor-swift-spotify/) in the past — [going so far as to pull all of her music off of Spotify in 2014](http://time.com/3581487/taylor-swift-spotify-borchetta/) — [Taylor Swift](http://time.com/3578249/taylor-swift-interview/) is now releasing all of her extensive back catalog of music on streaming at midnight on Friday.

Swift announced the news via her official “Taylor Nation” social media accounts, where she explained that the move back to streaming services was “in celebration of _1989_ selling over 10 Million Albums Worldwide and the RIAA’s 100 Million Song Certification announcement, Taylor wants to thank her fans by making her entire back catalog available to all streaming services tonight at midnight.”

> [](https://twitter.com/taylornation13/status/872958066119016448)

While many fans were excited about being able to listen to Swift on Spotify again, the Internet was quick to note that her return to streaming coincided exactly with [Katy Perry’s release date for her new album, _Witness_](http://time.com/4784928/katy-perry-prank/), fueling rumors that there might still be some [“bad blood”](http://time.com/4680749/best-celebrity-feuds/) between the two.

Perry, of late, hasn’t been shy about the strained dynamic between the two pop princesses, going so far as to [call out Swift for the feud during an episode of Carpool Karaoke](http://time.com/4790154/katy-perry-taylor-swift-feud-carpool-karaoke/) and [in subsequent media appearances and interviews](http://time.com/4810732/katy-perry-on-taylor-swift-beef-interview/). Fans have also long speculated that [Perry’s single “Swish Swish” is a diss track](http://time.com/4785868/ruby-rose-on-katy-perry-swish-swish/) in the vein of “Bad Blood” aimed at Swift.


While there’s no way of truly knowing if Swift’s return to streaming on the same day as Perry’s album release is intentional or just coincidental, the Internet had plenty of feelings that they made known online.

The war of words. Well, it's just heating up, guys, between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. Katy Perry is sharing her side of the story about her and Taylor's epic feud. Now she told James Corden. The nearly three year long feud, that's a long time, was all over, get this, backup dancers. On the carpool karaoke primetime special she said, quote, there's a situation. Honestly, it's like she started it. And it's time for her to finish it, ooh. Perry went on to tell the Late Later Show host that the rivalry started over three back up dancers, and that she tried to talk to Swift about it, but Swift wouldn't speak to her.

Going on to say, quote, it was a full shutdown, and then she writes a song about me, and I'm like, okay, cool, cool That's how you wanna deal with it? Karma, ouch. Now Corden asked Perry if the feud will ever end. And the Swish, Swish singer responded that she's ready for that, quote, BS to be done with. I know ladies, why can't we all get along? Saying that she wants women together and not divided [ MUSIC ] And by listeners and by fans. Ladies, ladies, ladies.
