From the minute Katy Perry was announced as the latest star to take part in James Cordenโ€™s Carpool Karaoke, we knew we were in for a treat, and sure enough, she hasnโ€™t disappointed.

The singer took James on a whistle-stop tour through her back catalogue, which also served to remind us what a brilliant pop star she is.

Katy belted out classics including โ€˜Fireworkโ€™, โ€˜Dark Horseโ€™, โ€˜Roarโ€™ and โ€˜I Kissed A Girlโ€™ as she jumped in Jamesโ€™ car for his popular โ€˜Late Late Showโ€™ sketch.

She also gave new tracks โ€˜Bon Appรฉtitโ€™ and โ€˜Swish Swishโ€™ an airing, with the latter particularly causing a stir.

Itโ€™s thought the song is a diss track aimed at Taylor Swift, given the pairโ€™s tumultuous history, and Katy did nothing to deny that theory during her โ€˜Carpool Karaokeโ€™.

Speaking to James about their feud, Katy said: โ€œThereโ€™s a situation. Honestly, itโ€™s really like... she started it and itโ€™s time for her to finish it.โ€

Addressing claimed the fall-out happened when Taylor stole Katyโ€™s backing dancers for her โ€˜Redโ€™ tour, she continued: โ€œItโ€™s so crazy. They asked me before they went on [Taylorโ€™s] tour if they could goโ€ฆ and I was like, โ€˜yeah, of course, Iโ€™m not on a record cycleโ€ฆ get the work and sheโ€™s great. But I will be on a record cycle probably in about a year, so be sure to put a 30-day contingency in your contract, so you can get out if you want to join meโ€™.

โ€œSo that year came up, right? And I texted all of them because Iโ€™m very close with them. And they [spoke to their management], and they got fired.โ€

Katy went on: โ€œI tried to talk to [Taylor] about it, and she wouldnโ€™t speak to meโ€ฆ It was a full shutdown, and then she writes a song about me and itโ€™s like โ€˜OK, cool cool cool, thatโ€™s how you wanna deal with it?โ€™ Karma.โ€

Katy then revealed that while she was โ€œready for that [bullshit] to be doneโ€, Taylor should be aware of โ€œthe law of cause and effectโ€, insisting: โ€œYou do something, and thereโ€™s going to be a reaction. And trust me, daddy. Thereโ€™s going to be a reaction. Itโ€™s all about karma, right?

โ€œI think personally that women, together, not divided, and none of this petty shitโ€ฆ women together will heal the world.โ€
