Part of Katy Perry’s speech at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards appeared to address Taylor Swift.

Perry, 39, accepted the Video Vanguard Award on Wednesday, September 11, and joked in her acceptance speech that the LGBTQ+ community taught her “that you can be nice and c—.”

In a moment that quickly went viral on social media, Swift, 34, appeared to agree. As Perry said the line, Swift was captured on video by Bustle turning to her friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff, who was sitting next to her, and smiling. Antonoff, 40, then pointed at 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 support came months after Perry hit an Eras Tour show 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 herself singing along to “Bad Blood,” which is thought to be about their previously rocky friendship.

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

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

“What I’m so grateful for is that we were able to make amends publicly and be an example of redemption 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 entered the VMAs as the most nominated artist of the night, with a whopping 12 nominations. He won categories including video of the year, best collaboration, song of the summer, artist of the year, best pop, best direction and best editing.

“There’s a very clear reason why Post Malone is everyone’s favorite person in music,” she said onstage while accepting the award for best collaboration. “You’re so ridiculously 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.”

Malone jokingly responded, “Yes, ma’am,” and said Swift is “absolutely one of the kindest and most talented people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.”

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