Taylor Swift unveils star-studded ‘Bad Blood’ video
Not-that-low-budget new clip hosts a guest verse from Kendrick Lamar.
Taylor Swift has unveiled the long-anticipated, celeb-crammed new video for ‘Bad Blood’.
As promised, it’s a ridiculously elaborate effort, directed by Joseph Kahn. It sees Taylor starring as a vigilante-busting hero who then gets into a difficult situation of her own. What follows is some kind of futuristic-leaning plot that makes very little sense, mostly because the video involves you trying to spot all those celebs who star in the thing.
Kendrick Lamar appears at the start, delivering a guest verse to the ‘1989’ original. It also stars Lena Dunham, Cara Delevingne, Kendrick Lamar, Hailee Steinfeld, Lily Aldridge, Gigi Hadid and loads more.
Let’s just say it’s the complete opposite of a lo-fi do-it-yourself flick.
The new version of ‘Bad Blood’ featuring Kendrick Lamar is available on iTunes. Taylor Swift plays BST London Hyde Park on 27th June.
