“She wants seven No. 1s,” said an industry source, adding, “Katy tied Michael [Jackson]’s record for having five No. 1s from a single album, and Taylor wants to beat Katy. She wants to be the greatest.”

Swift set out to woo media and radio promoters by having intimate listening sessions at her Tribeca apartment before she released the album last October. “She knows all the radio execs by name and how to work a room. She’s a complete pro,” said the source.

Swift’s rivalry with Perry goes beyond music. Sources told us the two started feuding last year over mutual ex John Mayer, and Swift’s mention of a “straight-up enemy” in a Rolling Stone interview further sparked speculation that she and Perry were bitter rivals.

“Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies,” Swift reportedly said of Perry.

“Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies. And it wasn’t even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me … I don’t think there would be any personal problem if she weren’t competitive,” she said.

As for Swift’s own competitiveness, an insider says she is no different from any other artist: “Of course there’s motivation to beat her peers, but it’s friendly competition. She’s completely focused on delivering great music and a great show.”

Another source said, “She’s so happy with the success of this album. Talk of No. 1 singles is for the label to deal with. She’s not even a part of those conversations. She’s concerned with her tour and putting on a show.”

Swift has been pulling out all the stops on her “1989” world tour, including inviting musicians like Mary J. Blige, Alanis Morissette, Dan Reynolds and Ed Sheeran onstage.

But something tells us she won’t be burying the hatchet by inviting Perry to join her. A rep for Swift did not comment.

The Friends star was a surprise guest at Swift’s sold-out concert at the Los Angeles Staples Centre.

After joining the 25-year-old on stage holding a guitar, the pair launched into the song “Smelly Cat” — made famous by Kudrow’s character Phoebe Buffay on the ‘90s sitcom.

It was all just a bit perfect.

Kudrow took to Twitter to thank Swift after the performance.

“So @taylorswift13 is THE best person I’ve ever met. That was fun. Thanks Taylor,” The Comeback star wrote.

Kudrow is the second Friends cast member to join the “Shake It Off” singer on stage during her mammoth 1989 world tour.

Earlier this week, Matt LeBlanc joined the growing list of celebs to strut down the catwalk and dance on stage during Swift’s performance of her song “Style”.

The pop star played the second of five sold-out gigs at the Staples Center on Saturday night, and during her performance of “Style” she brought out model Sean O’Pry, who starred as her love interest in her “Blank Space” music video.

After introducing the “number one model in the world” to the stage, Swift said, “Please welcome the number two and number three male models in the world – Chris Rock and Matt LeBlanc.” Rock and LeBlanc strutted down the long catwalk, waving to fans and dancing as they made their way to the stage in the middle of the arena.

As the reached the end of the runway, LeBlanc went a bit red-faced as he awkwardly danced along with Rock and Swift.

Swift, who has previously professed her love for LeBlanc’s hit show Friends, then led the trio as they encouraged the crowd to wave their hands in the air.

Also making surprise appearances at the concert were Mary J Blige and Orange Is The New Black star Uzo Aduba, who showed off her singing skills by performing Swift’s 2008 track “White Horse” with the singer.

Swift kicked off her string of LA dates on her 1989 tour on Friday by inviting NBA star Kobe Bryant and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder on stage.
