Their years-long feud played out in the public eye, but now it seems Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have let bygones be bygones.
Firework hitmaker Katy appears to have flown out to Australia to catch her "old friend" Taylor begin her Eras Tour in Sydney. Posing together in a rare, intimate selfie earlier this evening, the two looked happier than ever as the pair reunited at the Accor Stadium.
"Got to see an old friend shine tonight," Katy penned alongside the smiling snap, uploading a carousel of clips and images of her VIP treatment. Taylor clearly gave her the best seats in the house, right at the front of the stage, joined by singer Rita Ora.

Swift couldn't have picked a worst show to bring her friend along to after it was almost cancelled due to the weather. The Blank Space hitmaker's appearance was delayed by over an hour after the pouring rain caused chaos at the city's stadium.
Bosses released a statement to announce the show has been delayed on Friday. "Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed. Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions," it said.
The statement continued: "Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you." Taylor's fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to show terrifying views from inside the stadium. "There was a lightening strike within 10km of the stadium so we've all been evacuated into cover omg," one person wrote as they shared a snap of the deserted stadium. Another fan joked: "It’s a rain show #SydneyTSTheErasTour."
But despite the carnage, Katy still appeared to have a good time, sharing clips from her pal's performance as she cheered her on. The two haven't always been the best of friends, with their public back-and-forth's spreading across four years.
Per reports, it all started over allegations the Roar singer 'stole' some of Taylor's back-up dancers for her own tour back in the day. Taylor referenced a fallout in a 2015 interview, where she said: "For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not."
"She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?' She did something so horrible, I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business," she told Rolling Stone magazine.
"She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me." Katy then responded to the interview, tweeting: "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing..." referring to the main villain in comedy Mean Girls.
