Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ Dancer Teases Katy Perry Feud By Dressing Up As The Left Shark?

That dancing left shark was one of the more memorable parts of Katy Perry's Super Bowl performance. And that shark made another eye-catching appearance on the stage of a Taylor Swift concert, right in the middle of her song "Bad Blood." Did Taylor Swift's dancer dress up as the left shark to tease the singer of her rumored feud with Katy Perry?

First, let's take a walk down memory lane and re-live this moment, when the left shark first entered our lives during Katy Perry's Super Bowl performance of the song "Teenage Dream." (Skip to 1:20 for the real action and lack of coordination)

Now let's examine the latest video of Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour concert in Foxborough, MA, when the shark appears over T-Swift's shoulder. She appears surprised, then giggles, and continues with the lyrics of "Bad Blood."

But according to Us Weekly, all is as not as it appears. While The Internet is rife with shouts that Taylor Swift is throwing "shark shade" at Katy Perry. Though they do have long-standing tension - might we even say feud? (more on that later) - Us Weekly reveals that it may be Taylor's dancer playing a trick on Tay-tay, rather than biting at Katy Perry (sorry, we had to).

Deemed part of a "nightly prank" from Swift's dancers, @Swifty448 tweeted: "UGH MEDIA WHY ARE YOU POSTING ABOUT THE SHARK? IT WAS A PRANK! THERE WAS A LOBSTER SHOW 1 AND A SHARK SHOW 2!" - along with a video from the July 24 show in which the dancer popped up behind Swift with a dancing lobster.

The dancer, whose name is Christian Henderson, also Instagrammed a photo with the lobster on July 25, writing, "Meet the newest member of the Bad Blood squad. The Claw."

But why a shark? Probably because the dancer knows that Taylor and Katy are anything but best buds. Swift, 24, previously talked to Rolling Stone about the unnamed person she refers to in "Bad Blood" - but by now we all know it's Katy Perry.

"For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not," the "Shake It Off" singer explained. "She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?' [Then last year] she did something so horrible. I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy!"

Well, let's not forget both stars dated John Mayer...

But the main source of tension, she said, was business. "She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour," Swift alleged. "She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me."

A source told Us Weekly that those "people", were her dancers, who worked for Perry first. "They were loyal to Katy when it came time to launch the Prism tour," the insider said. "She didn't steal them. Taylor just employed them when they weren't working for Katy."
