Choosing to unveil her newest music video on a day that’s also dominated by the return of another popular female musician, Katy Perry nonetheless gave her all in the video for “Swish Swish,” which features a whole lot of basketballs and a strange mix of celebrities.

The video for the Witness single finds the inexperienced Perry and her Tiger team—including one of those adorable Stranger Things kids!—forced to play a basketball game against the very jacked-up Sheep, and the first half goes about as well as you’d expect: Perry trips a bunch of times, flails around, and generally has no idea what the concept of a basketball is. (She even gets an IV drip of something called “Kobe Sweat.”) But after a much-needed wake the hell up, girl from featured rapper Nicki Minaj at halftime, things start to look up for these feisty felines. Who knows? They might even stand a chance at winning.

While Perry has never confirmed that “Swish Swish” was written as a Taylor Swift diss track, the song’s many double-entendre references and lyrics—such as “don’t come for me” and “your game is tired, you should retire”—certainly point to that possibility, owing to the duo’s highly-publicized, multi-year feud.

“I think it’s a great anthem for people whenever someone’s trying to hold you down or bully you,” Perry explained while doing some late-night rounds this summer. “‘Swish Swish’ represents the liberation from all the negative that doesn’t serve you.” With their bad blood seemingly a thing of the past, though, who knows what the next era of Swirry could bring forth. A performance at this weekend’s VMAs, perhaps?
