Absolutely, 100 percent. I forgive her, and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her.” Later, at an outdoor concert that Perry held for her fans at the conclusion of the live stream, she performed “Swish Swish,” but changed the lyrics of the first line from “Don’t you come for me,” swapping it out for “God bless you on your journey, oh baby girl.” Asked if the song was actually about Swift as some fans speculated, Perry said it wasn’t. “No, it’s not about anyone in particular,” Perry said on the [Today show](http://www.today.com/popculture/katy-perry-opens-about-past-struggles-suicidal-thoughts-new-album-t112590). “And I’ve said that on the record.” Could the feud between Perry and Swift finally over? If Perry was indeed offering a sentiment, looks like she’s ready to bury the hatchet.
