Taylor Swift's Reaction to Katy Perry's 'Both Kind and C—' Quip Goes Viral: Watch the Candid Moment

Part of Katy Perry’s speech at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards seems to have echoed Taylor Swift.

Perry, 39, received the Video Vanguard award on Wednesday, September 11, and in her speech she thanked the LGBTQ+ community for teaching her “that you can be both kind and p—.”

In a moment that quickly went viral on social media, Swift, 34, seemed to agree. When Perry said the line, Swift was caught in a video shared by Bustle turning to her friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff, who was sitting next to her, and smiling. Antonoff, 40, then pointed to the “Anti-Hero” singer as she nodded.

Swift was seen dancing and singing along to Perry’s hits like “ET,” “Teenage Dream” and “California Gurls” as the Vanguard winner performed a medley of her biggest songs. The crowd’s support came months after Perry covered the Eras Tour in Sydney, Australia, in March.

The “Firework” singer shared a photo of herself backstage with Swift during the Eras tour, along with a video of her singing along to “Bad Blood,” which is thought to be about their previously rocky friendship.

In 2020, Perry opened up about why she and Swift decided to put their differences aside, telling Howard Stern that the two are now “super friends.”

“Gossip in life can take an elevator, but the truth takes stairs. It just takes time,” Perry said at the time, adding that their feud had been exaggerated by the media.

“What I’m so grateful for is that we were able to publicly reconcile and become an example of temptation for young girls,” she continued. “I always wanted the best for her and now we can talk about the best we want for each other.”

Swift headed into the VMAs as the most nominated artist of the night, with 12 nominations, and went home with wins in the Video of the Year, Best Collaboration, Song of the Summer, Artist of the Year, Best Pop, Best Direction and Best Editing categories.

“There’s a very clear reason why Post Malone is a favorite person in music,” she said on stage while accepting the award for Best Collaboration. “You’re so incredibly talented, you’re so versatile and you’re the most down-to-earth person. Honestly, so unfailingly polite, it took me forever to get him to stop calling me ma’am.”

In response, Malone joked, “Yes ma’am,” and said Swift is “absolutely one of the kindest and most talented people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”

The 2024 MTV VMAs aired September 11 at 8:00 PM ET/PT live from the UBS Arena in New York City.
