Imo, all the cameos make the video even more interesting. and the fans of the icons from the video would get Taylor some massive streaming points, so why not? and the video is amazing.
I didn't think this would be true, but then I read the YouTube comments. People really flocking to see their fave for 4 seconds

She can wait until it's peaking at radio and then unleash the sequel Maybe Wiz will have lost some power by then.
My god the fact you girls STRUGGLE with basic concepts let me explain as simply as possible
The other girls are the other assassins training Taylor to fight and kill Selena.
That's literally it.
Why do they all have to have complex purposes or characters?
Bring me the last music video that had that till then you can stay pressed like fake nails
Right? Like it's NOT that difficult to understand. ****.
I LOVE the remix, it kinda slayed me. The verses have always been the weakest part of BB and Kendrick's are definitely an improvement so I'm happy with that. Plus the new trap influenced production is great. Although it just kinda confirms that the entire Bad Blood single campaign is exactly like the E.T. single campaign... fourth single, remix with rapper, urban-influenced change of pace, larger-than-life video etc.
In saying that, the video itself was okay. It was well done, and I LOVED the first minute of it, but then it got kinda redundant as it went on. There were probably a dozen too many characters, it would have been better with a smaller number and focussed on each of them a little bit more so we knew what their actual purpose in being there was. The entire video felt like it was leading up to this final battle, and then it just... never happened. They should have gotten to the approaching Selena scene during the bridge, then cut the audio and had the massive fight scene and finished with the final chorus once Selena and her camp had been conquered and they were being taken as prisoners or something, that would have been better. It's definitely a video that could have benefited from being 5-6 minutes rather than 4 minutes, but eh.
Its filmed ok but those text names made it look cheesy and the fire looks so fake. There is a great video here somewhere but the editing kinda sucks and its just looks like its trying way to hard to be good in a short span of time.
The remix makes the song so much better than the album version.
The video, however, is decent. The cinematography and editing is pretty good, but some of the cameos felt so unnecessary and the names superimposed over everything was really tacky.
The names shouln't have been in it, most of them hardly did anything, Cindy was flawless, Kendrick has too much in the song, Selena and Ellie looked AWKWARD and Taylor looks good in red hair but that effects in the end were DISGUSTINGLY cheap.
