I have to say "Bad Blood" is the first time where I am slightly disappointed with a Taylor Swift music video. It's nice that she got all these famous names in here and says a lot about how big of a star she currently is, but it's not okay to sacrifice the essential components for that. I thought the tune was less catchy than most of her previous works and Swift's videos always had the strength that they told a bit of a story in a convincing way. This one does not and it certainly not an honor to Swift that she is listed as the writer here. Also, most of her songs had the advantage that not only the chorus was catchy, but the whole thing. This one does not have much more than a chorus and Swift is really screaming that one more than singing. I very much hope that she can return back to essentialism again with her next songs. Of course, "Bad Blood" has written girl power all over it, but you have to back such a statement up with substance somehow and not just with lining up famous actresses one after the other. Not recommended.
