Miley Cyrus tackled one of pop music's most hotly debated topics in her new interview with Marie Claire: Taylor Swift's video for "Bad Blood." [1] "I don't get the violence-revenge thing," Miley told the magazine for her September cover story [2]. "That's supposed to be a good example? And I'm a bad role model because I'm running around with my titties out? I'm not sure how titties are worse than guns." (Miley was likely referring to her stage performances and skin-heavy Instagrams [3].)
"Bad Blood" — its video features several of Taylor's pals in action sequences — was allegedly written about Taylor's ongoing feud with Katy Perry [4]. Although Katy's friendship with Taylor has been left in the past, her connection with Miley appears to still be going strong. Most recently, the duo hilariously compared cleavage [5] at the Grammy Awards in February, and it's impossible to forget that time they kissed on stage [6] in February 2014.
Miley's comments follow up Katy's pointed tweet [7] about Taylor on July 22. Katy seemed to accuse her of capitalizing "on the take down of a woman" in "Bad Blood."
Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman...

Katy tweeted her thoughts after Taylor and Nicki Minaj had a viral Twitter conversation [9] about the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards nominations on July 21. Miley is set to host the show on Aug. 30, and if her fun teasers [10] are any indication, she doesn't plan on making it a tame program.
