Bad Blood is the fourth single to be released from Swift's latest album, 1989. The song was allegedly written about her feud with fellow singer Katy Perry.
The 30-year-old is said to have attempted to sabotage Swift's entire arena tour by taking her dancers for her own concerts.

Although neither has confirmed a feud, Swift hinted that her and Perry were at odds with each other over business issues during an interview with Rolling Stone.
“For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not," she said. "She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?’
“She did something so horrible. I was like, ‘Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies.’ And it wasn’t even about a guy!”
She continued: “It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I’m surprisingly non-confrontational – you would not believe how much I hate conflict.
"So now I have to avoid her. It’s awkward, and I don’t like it.”
