Severity always applies to business impact while Priority is the impact to test progression..so the business e.g. BA or Product owner will determine the severity while the test assigns the priority according to how many test scripts are being affected or blocked.

I agree with Niyati, Priority will be decided by business. Business may say they would want a defect to be fixed first and that might not have SEV1 from tester perspective. Priority is the order in which business wants to get the defects fixed
