It was first announced that Katy Perry would perform at Super Bowl XLIX back in October.

This was just weeks after the news of the Katy-Taylor Swift feud went public, so naturally, there were rumors that Katy would diss Taylor in front of the year’s biggest TV audience.

Katy did nothing to discourage that rumor, so we started to get pretty excited about the singer going kamikaze-level petty during the biggest performance of her career.

Then the show came and went and Taylor remained unburned. Or did she? (She did.)

Some eagle-eyed, drama-starved fans believe Katy subtly threw shade at Taylor by dressing her backup dancers in polka-dotted, high-waisted bikinis (a style occasionally favored by Swifty).

It’s true, that is how her dancers were dressed, but…how is that a shot at Taylor, exactly?

No, the only thing that took place on Sunday that resembles a real diss is Katy getting close with John Mayer after the game…as though there’s any possible way that Taylor would actually care about that.
