There seemed to be a Katy Perry reference when Taylor Swift performed "Bad Blood" in Massachusetts over the weekend. In a video posted to Twitter, Taylor sings the hit song (which is reportedly about Katy [1]) as a dancer wearing a shark head pops up behind her, and Taylor laughs to herself in the moment. Was the dancer surprising her? Since there was a lobster during Friday's show [2], was there actually no Left Shark connection? Left Shark [3], of course, became a popular meme after he stole the show during Katy Perry's Super Bowl performance [4] this year.

Why would someone wear the shark head on stage this weekend? Well, Taylor and Katy's rumored feud [12] made headlines again last week after Katy chimed in [13] on the VMAs Twitter exchange [14] between Taylor and Nicki Minaj. After the misunderstanding, Taylor apologized [15] to Nicki, who later appeared on Good Morning America and said she and Taylor are "all good." [16]
