 Background 
Critics have said that the song is about singer Taylor Swift.  She and Perry have had a rivalry since 2013, when Swift accused Perry of "stealing" backup dancers on tour.  Swift released the song "Bad Blood" in 2014, which was rumored to be about her feud with Perry.  Perry has revealed that she is ready to move on from the feud.

The music video stars several celebrities, such as actor Terry Crews and Internet personality Christine Sydelko.  The setting is a basketball game against the Tigers (Perry's team) and the Sheep.  A contest was held to determine what fans would appear in the video.  The video is over six minutes long.
