Taylor Swift and Katy Perry’s friendship dates back to 2008, but the once BFFs are caught in a rift that looks to have no chance of resolving. The feud started around 2012, and while the two deny that it’s because of mutual boy toy John Mayer, many speculate that he was the one who started it all.
Both women are very stylish and have had great success in the pop industry, collecting awards year after year and selling out concerts. But who do you think has better taste in clothes?
1. Chic and Quirky: Street Style
Taylor’s signature street style usually involves a crop top, a super short skirt, and a crossbody bag. Her casual looks often end up on our pages because we can’t get enough of her chic, girly style. She loves to show off her toned stomach and enviably long legs, which go on for days.

While Taylor Swift opts for a girly style in her off-duty looks, Katy Perry embraces a quirky aesthetic even when not on stage. As a muse for the Moschino brand, Katy enjoys wearing whimsical pieces from their collection.

2. Performance Glitz: On-Stage Fashion

Taylor Swift normally dresses fairly conservatively during her performances, often showcasing some of her assets, particularly her long legs.
As one of the performers at last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Taylor amped up her style to match the models, wearing a silky lingerie dress ensemble that added a touch of sexiness to her usual look.

Katy’s performances are often much more fanciful, with several costume changes and themed looks.

With a svelte, supermodel frame, Taylor is very easy to dress up because she just looks good in everything she wears. The pop superstar donned a gorgeous Elie Saab Spring 2015 gown at this year’s Grammy Awards.
The show-stopping mullet-style dress features a shimmery ombre look with shoulder cutouts. We love how Taylor kept things playful with brightly colored magenta sandals and green Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

On the other hand, Katy Perry has a penchant for quirky looks but cleans up well. One of her best red carpet moments was at the 2014 Grammy Awards, where she wore a stunning Valentino couture gown that was just perfect on her.

The tulle gown features a romantic and glamorous silhouette with a touch of whimsy, thanks to the musical note details on the skirt.
Adding to the glamour, Katy completed the look with chandelier earrings, Louboutin “Bollywood Boulevard” pumps, and an oversized braided bun.
