UNLESS YOU’VE BEEN living under a rock for the past week, you’ve seen the promotional posters for Taylor Swift’s new music video floating around the internet.
Taylor’s next single Bad Blood has long been rumoured to be about her feud with Katy Perry, with the singer telling Rolling Stone:
For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not. She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, “Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?”
But Taylor has gotten her revenge – by roping in all of her famous friends (and we mean all of them) for a music video that’s heavily inspired by sci-fi and comic book movies like Sin City and The Fifth Element.
The video finally premiered last night at the Billboard Music Awards – in it, Taylor and a host of female assassins (watched over by rapper Kendrick Lamar) take on Selena Gomez’s backstabbing villain Arsyn:
Naturally, the internet has gone WILD for it. Here are ten of the best reactions.
1. William Shatner felt a bit left out
2. All of the Swifties were DEAD, RIP them
