Taylor Swift is now working on a new music video, for the “Bad Blood” track from the album “1989,” the only one she reportedly wrote about a woman, her former BFF Katy Perry, after they had a massive falling out.

Over the weekend, she teased fans with the release of a set of character posters for the video: “Sin City”-inspired artwork that introduced cast members as these new, tough and fearless warrior characters.

Taylor, for one, was Catastrophe. She explained later on Twitter that all the famous people (all of them her close friends) who had agreed to appear in the video had come up with the name of their characters.

She chose Catastrophe because it was a pun on the word “cat,” and there are few things in this world Taylor loves more than cats.

Jessica Alba is one of the latest additions to the already impressive roster. She plays Domino, but the poster doesn’t offer any clue as to her ability. You can see it in the tweets available below.

Other stars who are making an appearance in the video, which will be released this Sunday, May 17, are Martha Hunt, Lena Dunham, Seraya, Karlie Kloss, Zendaya Coleman, Lily Aldridge, and Kendrick Lamar.
