"Bad Blood" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, from her fifth studio album ''1989'' (2014). The album and remixed version of the song, with the latter featuring American rapper Kendrick Lamar, was released on May 17, 2015, by Republic Records as ''1989''s fourth single. The album version was written by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback, with Lamar writing his verses on the remixed version. The lyrics of "Bad Blood" describe the betrayal of a close friend. The album version was the eighth track of 1989. The remixed version received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production and Lamar's guest verses. The song reached number-one in Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Scotland, and the United States, becoming the third song from ''1989'' to do so. The accompanying music video was directed by Joseph Kahn and features an ensemble cast. The video previously held the 24-Hour Vevo Record with 20.1 million views, before being surpassed by Adele's "Hello". It won Video of the Year and Best Collaboration at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. A cover version of "Bad Blood" was released as the first promotional single from singer-songwriter Ryan Adams' interpretation of Swift's ''1989'' album, released in September 2015. ==Writing and composition== Swift co-wrote "Bad Blood" about an undisclosed female musical artist. Swift says the artist attempted to sabotage one of her concert tours by hiring people who worked for her. Publications such as ''Billboard'', ''Rolling Stone'', ''Time'', and ''The Washington Post'' have speculated that Katy Perry is the subject of the song. Daniel D'Addario for ''Time'' and Emily Yahr for ''The Washington Post'' noted parallels between "Bad Blood"'s lyric "If you live like that, you live with ghosts" and "Ghost", a song from Perry's 2013 album ''Prism''.〔〔 The album version of the song only contains Swift as the vocalist on verses, while the single version features a re-worked instrumental and guest vocals from rapper Kendrick Lamar on verses. Jem Aswad of ''Billboard'' felt the song is "reminiscent of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl". ''The Guardian'' Kitty Empire wrote that the song "faintly recalls Charli XCX with its stark beats." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bad Blood (Taylor Swift song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
