14 DAY TRIAL // Whenever she needs celebrity cameos for her music videos, Taylor Swift doesn’t have to pull strings or audition: she just goes to her best friends and asks them to help out. This seems to have happened for “Bad Blood,” her upcoming release, which will premiere on ABC on May 17.
The date is no coincidence, as it’s also the date of the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. It will also see the first-ever live performance of the new Britney Spears vs. Iggy Azalea collaboration, “Pretty Girls,” so there are plenty of reasons to tune in for the gala.
The most important would be that Taylor’s new video will probably be ah-mazing, as they say. For the past 24 hours or so, Taylor has been teasing fans with “Sin City” posters-inspired art for the single, including appearances from Lily Aldridfe, Hayley Williams and Zendaya Coleman.
The first photo released was of Taylor as Catastrophe, her new character in the Joseph Khan-directed, Taylor Swift-produced video. The tagline for it “Band-Aids don’t fix bullet holes,” so you know you’re to expect the “Sin City” theme to appear in the video as well.
Until May 17, it would be a good idea to keep an eye on Taylor’s Instagram feed, if you’re a fan of her work or are really excited about this new release. Rumor has it that she got even more celebrity friends to appear in it, including Cara Delevingne and Kendrick Lamar, so more posters should be out soon.
