Your turn, Tay! Katy Perry revealed to the New York Times on Thursday, February 11, that she has invited her archnemesis Taylor Swift to her pre-Grammys party, and the reason for the invite is flattering.
“You have to be a creator — it’s artists, producers and songwriters,” Perry, 31, told the paper of those she reached out to. “And it’s a mixture of new and familiar artists, a combination of the past two years’ Grammy nominees and also [acts] from the Spotify Discover playlist. It’s Kacey Musgraves, Karen O, Miguel, Tove Lo, Shirley Manson, Max Martin. Then up-and-coming songwriters like Blood Pop and Bonnie McKee all under the same roof as Diane Warren. In some ways, I’m trying to start the Met Ball of music.”
Perry confirmed that fellow megastars Adele and Swift, who have withheld their music from Spotify, were still invited to the bash, which is sponsored by the streaming music service. “It’s just up to their schedules,” Perry noted. The black tie affair will be held at Cicada in downtown L.A. on Saturday, February 13, and publicists, journalists and managers are not invited.
“They are not creators. They’re important to the creation, but it’s only artists, producers and songwriters,” the “Firework” singer explained. “There’s a press opportunity in the front, like a red carpet, but if you want to be more low-key you can arrive via garage. I’m trying to keep it as pure as possible because in the eight years that I’ve been going to these things, I am just always so exhausted.”
