Katy Perry's rumored boyfriend Diplo reignited the singer's reported feud with Taylor Swift, when he took a swipe at Swift's slender frame.

"Someone should make a Kickstarter to get Taylor Swift a booty," Diplo, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, tweeted on Wednesday.

The DJ and producer, who has been linked to Perry since April, then took the joke a step further, linking to an actual Fundly page someone set up for the cause. The "Get Taylor Swift a Booty Campaign" had raised $85 as of this afternoon.

Not everyone found it funny.

Swift's pal Lorde fired back this morning through her Twitter account, taking a crack at Diplo's male anatomy.

But later, appearing on BBC Radio 1, Lorde said that she actually "loves" Diplo-whom she calls Wes-and that the whole thing was kind of a joke.

Joke or no joke, the latest exchange comes amidst speculation of a feud between Perry and Swift.

In September, Swift opened up to Rolling Stone about the inspiration for her song "Bad Blood" from her new album, "1989," saying it had to do with a fellow unnamed artist with whom she is "straight-up enemies."

"She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour," Swift told the magazine. "She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I'm surprisingly non-confrontational-you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It's awkward, and I don't like it."

After the interview went public, Perry sent out a cryptic tweet.

"Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing…" Perry wrote, referring to the Rachel McAdams character who faced off against Lindsay Lohan in the 2004 hit comedy "Mean Girls."
