She said of the song in an interview with Apple Beats 1, “It’s about how I’ve observed a lot of different people in our society who just put so much energy and effort into negativity, and it just made me feel like, “You need to just calm down, like you’re stressing yourself out. This seems like it’s more about you than what you’re going off about. Like, just calm down.”-
Taylor Swift told Capital FM about Kary Perry, "She and I have been on good terms for a while. She sent me a really nice note and an olive branch to my tour when it started a while ago. From that point on, we've been on good terms. Then we saw each other at a party and walked up to each other and hugged it out and talked about things."
She continued, "Something felt so much lighter about my life when things became really good between us, and we've been fine for a while.
We wanted to make sure that was solid between us, before we made the public aware.
We'd grown past allowing ourselves to be pitted against each other." - source : CNN
