Taylor Swift premiered her much-anticipated "Bad Blood" music video at the Billboard Music Awards
on Sunday. As Gossip Cop has been reporting, the "Bad Blood" video stars a slew of celebrities,
many of whom Swift revealed in posters she posted online. Among the stars in the video are Swift
herself, Jessica Alba, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, Ellie
Goulding, Gigi Hadid, Mariska Hargitay, Karlie Kloss, Kendrick Lamar, Ellen Pompeo, Hailee
Steinfeld, and Zendaya.
Directed by Joseph Kahn, who helmed Swift's "Blank Space" video, the video has a film noire look
with a number of heroines, bad guys, and double-crossers. The clip began with Swift and Gomez
battling some men, before Gomez actually pushed her BFF outside a window. Each star's alter ego
was introduced one by one, with Kendrick Lamar delivering a rap verse. Swift and Kloss later duked
it out in a boxing ring, and the superstar and her pals train to do battle against a Gomez-led enemy
camp.
Swift, surrounded by Zendaya and more of her video c-stars, said on the Billboard stage right after
the premiere, "I'm so excited I got to show the world my new music video for 'Bad Blood.'" She then
introduced Van Halen for a live performance. "Bad Blood" has long been rumored to be about Katy
Perry. Last September, Swift said in an interview that the song is about another female singer whom
she considers one of her "straight-up enemies" for having attempted to wreck one of her tours by
hiring away some of her people. And though they both dated John Mayer, Swift swears her disdain is
strictly professional.
