Bad Blood

Taylor Swift went from being someone you had to apologize for liking to actually being interesting. Back when she was this blonde country singer singing about fairy tales, you could write her off. Now she’s figured something out. You can see it in every frame—the way she moves, how much control she has, the sense that she knows exactly what she’s doing.

Bad Blood is the new song, and the video is basically a celebrity lineup—Lily Aldridge, Zendaya, Hayley Williams, Gigi Hadid, Ellie Goulding, Hailee Steinfeld, Lena Dunham, Kendrick Lamar, Karlie Kloss, Serayah, Jessica Alba, Martha Hunt, Ellen Pompeo, Mariska Hargitay, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez. All of them showing up.

Yeah, the whole secret-agent video concept is thoroughly played out. But this song is going to be inescapable—in your car, in the shower, at work, stuck in your head for years. You’re going to know it whether you want to or not. So you might as well watch Taylor and Selena jumping around an empty office building and accept your fate. Could be worse.
