As any Swiftie worth their salt knows, [Swift and Perry’s legendary disagreement](http://time.com/4914066/taylor-swift-katy-perry-feud-timeline/) apparently emerged not over the trappings of fame, but over a backup dancers who left Taylor’s _Red_ tour to re-join Perry on her next world tour. It’s something that Perry has [been vocal about](http://time.com/4790154/katy-perry-taylor-swift-feud-carpool-karaoke/) while Swift has [referenced it obliquely](http://time.com/3541210/taylor-swifts-bad-blood-1989/) in interviews and people speculated Perry was the subject of [Taylor’s famed diss track](http://time.com/4771017/katy-perry-bad-blood-response-new-album/). However in the Vol. 1 zine, there are images from the set of her buzzy music video “[Look What You Made Me Do](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/),” one of which shows her dressed in a cheetah-print coat with dramatically styled hair, surrounded by a crowd of paparazzi. When the video debuted, many [Swifties drew comparisons between this look and Katy Perry](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/), as the hairstyle was similar to Perry’s hair-do at that time and because she was sporting a feline-esque coat and Perry’s fans are called the “Katy Kats.” The caption notes that the crowd extras in the scene were all dancers from Swift’s _1989_ tour, which took place after the _Red_ tour where the conflict all began over dancers. It could simply just be a behind the scenes tidbit, but if nothing else, it’s another way to keep the internet busy speculating. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5019793/taylor-swift-reputation-dancers-zine/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5019793/taylor-swift-reputation-dancers-zine/"},"headline":"Here's the Sneaky Way Taylor Swift Could Have Winked at Katy Perry With Reputation","datePublished":"2017-11-10T22:25:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:48:42.620Z","description":"It's not what you think it is","url":"https://time.com/5019793/taylor-swift-reputation-dancers-zine/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music","viral","Katy Perry","Taylor Swift","Reputation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d90fa657cd54f6c/6988db7e8fd2eefbeb3589e1/taylor-swift-02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d90fa657cd54f6c/6988db7e8fd2eefbeb3589e1/taylor-swift-02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"taylor-swift-02","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/5019793/taylor-swift-reputation-dancers-zine/","name":"Here's the Sneaky Way Taylor Swift Could Have Winked at Katy Perry With Reputation"}}]}] ```
