Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” Music Video Cast Then Vs. Now

It might be 2023, but 1989 is just around the corner. Last week, Taylor Swift announced that her fifth album, 1989, is her latest “Taylor’s Version” re-release. The new version of the record, which was originally released in 2014, will drop on Oct. 27.

The album was pivotal in Taylor’s career as it cemented her transition from country performer to pop star. This was also Taylor’s “girl squad” era, a time when she was routinely seen surrounded by other female celebs.

The “girl squad” motif was most notable in the music video for Taylor’s “Bad Blood” remix, featuring Kendrick Lamar. The music video dropped in 2015, and it included everyone from Zendaya and Lena Dunham to Cindy Crawford and Jessica Alba as an army of women with signature nicknames.

In total, 17 celebs, including Kendrick, appeared alongside Taylor in the video which chronicled a friends-to-foes plot with Selena Gomez playing the frenemy. Here’s Taylor as her character Catastrophe:
