‘Bad Blood’ Music Video Premiere: Taylor Swift Reinvents Herself As Secrets Spill From The Set
Thanks to the premiere of her “Bad Blood” music video, Taylor Swift is finally reinventing herself. For many years, fans have seen the singer-songwriter as the curly blonde hair girl who plays her guitar. Now they’re seeing Taylor Swift in a sexier and tougher light.
For the past four years, Swift was known as a country artist. She made the crossover to pop music with the release of her last album, 1989. Since then, Swift has swapped her retro floral print dresses for crop tops and her long blonde hair for a shoulder-length bob.
The singer always played herself in her music videos. In “Bad Blood,” Taylor takes on the role of Catastrophe, who goes to war against Arsyn (played by Selena Gomez) after being betrayed by her now arch-rival.
Does that mean Taylor Swift is the next Madonna? Not exactly. Madonna knew how to shock every time she reinvented herself. She also paired visually stunning aesthetics with completely unrelated songs, notes Time.
Swift is more of a storyteller. She likes to take part of her characters onscreen, whether she’s playing herself or a superhero. Swift has finally joined the ranks of her pop contemporaries by taking on different roles. Not only is she experimenting with different types of music, but she’s also exploring different sides of herself.
After the highly anticipated “Bad Blood” music video premiered at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, fans are wanting to know more about it. Empire star Serayah, who plays Dilemma in the video, revealed to E! News what happened behind the scenes.
“I didn’t know any of the girls before. [They were] all beautiful ladies and all very talented at what they do. I was just really thankful to be in the vicinity of them.”
So how did Serayah get in shape for her role in the “Bad Blood” music video?
“I tried to stay in shape and run and do all that stuff. I wasn’t sure about the outfit until I got there and I was just completely blown away and loved it.”
“Bad Blood” music director Joseph Kahn also revealed what it was like to work with one of the most successful singers in the world. He told Rolling Stone that he loves “working with [Swift]. She is the bomb.” She must be, because Kahn also directed her “Blank Space” music video.
Swifties have also been talking about the singer’s countless fashion and makeup moments in the “Bad Blood” music video. Although she rocks different hairstyles and looks in the video, she still wears the smoke eye and her signature cat eye. The following makeup tutorial will show you how to get Taylor Swift’s signature “Bad Blood” look.
