The shrewd, alert-to-drama eyes over at Breathe Heavy spotted Katy Perry's newest song registration on music licensing database BMI. It's named after the year Perry was born, "1984," which is only five years off from frenemy Taylor Swift's record-breaking album "1989." Perhaps Katy is giving Taylor a taste of the "Bad Blood" she and her friends are singing about.
