Asked whether she'd respond to Taylor's track Bad Blood, Katy said there wasn't anything on her latest record that was "calling out any one person".
"This record is not about anyone else. This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else. It's not even about me," she told Entertainment Weekly, external.
"[But] you can't mistake kindness for weakness," she added.
"Don't come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone.
"And that's not to any one person, and don't quote me that it is, because it's not. It's not about that."
