Are Katy Perry and Taylor Swift Cousins? Singer Addresses Fan Theory
“I’m going to have to ask [Taylor] if this is true, or if we should, like, get blood tests together.”
If you and friends bicker every now and again, that’s totally normal — disagreeing and even fighting things out can help make for stronger relationships in the long run. But if you’ve ever suspected that you and your BFF take fights to a new level, this is for you: Katy Perry’s conclusion as to why she and Taylor Swift sometimes get into it might go deeper than even the “Smile” singer realized.
During a recent appearance on Capital Breakfast With Roman Kemp, Katy was asked about a fan theory that the two are distantly related. Katy initially told the interviewers, “Well, we fight like cousins,” but she maintained that the conspiracy was just the work of eager fans. That was until she was presented with a fan theory so thorough it included the family genealogy platform MyHeritage.com and claimed that she and Taylor are ninth cousins. (That’s lots and lots of generations back.)
But those sites don’t always tell the full story, so Katy exhibited an understandable amount of skepticism. “I’m going to have to ask [Taylor] if this is true, or if we should, like, get blood tests together,” she said. She also remarked on the possibility of getting a DNA test, adding, “It’s cool because you can just, like, spit in a tube.”
A lot has gone down for both Taylor and Katy since their infamous years-long feud, which included two catchy diss tracks and plenty of gossip about their fighting. They’ve since patched things up, and Katy even appeared in Taylor’s music video for “You Need to Calm Down.” They also exchanged baked goods with each other in a public peace offering. Related or not, this is one story that ends on a sweet note.
