You may be familiar with singer-songwriter Ryn Weaver, who last year we described as one of pop’s next big things. If you’re not familiar, get ready to know her as the latest pop star to become embroiled in a feud with Katy Perry, who as we all know is no stranger to pop beefs. (Note to self: Invent some kind of meat-filled toaster pastry.)
It all started with this fairly innocuous tweet from Katy Perry last week, endorsing Hillary Clinton for president and promoting a concert benefiting the candidate:
HILL. YES. We’re with her! Join me, @eltonofficial & @andradaymusic at a concert for HRC❗️ https://t.co/1yPOJyNhrZ pic.twitter.com/fq4adxLRGp

Weaver took umbrage with Perry’s post, however, firing back the following string of now-deleted tweets Wednesday, linking to a YouTube video that ostensibly features Clinton “lying for 13 minutes-straight“:
LOLOLOL SORRY NOT SORRY OLEASE OPEN UR EYES.. THIS TWEET IS IGNORANT IF NOT FUNDED BYE
No offense @katyperry but considering how much of a bully you were to me.. I hope u don’t mind my mindful disagreement w ur $$ endorsement.
@hausofdion if u must know.. She came up to me and my friends.. Knowing I played.. After we were friends.. Then stared at me the whole time
@hausofdion she spoke to my friend waiting for me to speak… Anytime I spoke she started turning her head around pretending she heard
@hausofdion something… Then said “dos u hear something?” While staring at me.. Anytime I spoke.. After we were already friends.. Did this
@hausofdion the entire night… Then came w us to drake and stared at me the WHOLE SHOW.. Then any time I caught her eye out of my
@hausofdion periphery she proceeded to alert her entire posse saying ” that ryn weaver girl is soooo obsessed with me” loud enough
@hausofdion for my entire group of friends to hear… While talking why the WHOLE NIGHT loud enough for me to hear.. After pretending o
@hausofdion I didn’t even exist.
It’s unclear where and when the incident took place, but VH1 points out that it may have been at 2015’s Coachella festival. Whether or not it really went down like this is anyone’s best guess, and Perry herself has yet to comment. As these things usually go, the truth probably lies buried somewhere in the middle.
