Bad Blood

Just a random little obsession post because I'm cool like that.

Last night, I watched Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video and became slightly obsessed because it was on repeat during my workout today.

Musically speaking, the song isn't the most amazing thing out there, but the power that the video brings is just purely awesome and greatly shadows the mediocre rhythm. I'm not a huge Taylor fan. As she's grown and changed, I like her more and more, but I don't particularly listen to any of her music except what plays on the radio. I saw a gif of the music video and I was instantly intrigued so when I found out it was Taylor's video, I was pleasantly surprised.

First, let me mention that I love badass women and this video is definition of badass women. Secondly, I want to talk about the fact that it references a shit ton of amazing movies like The Matrix, Tron, Sin City, Kill Bill, Sucker Punch, The Kingsmen, The Fifth Element and many others that I'm forgetting now. Third, in the vein of badass women, it's such a feministic piece. Yes, two types of women are battling, but within those two groups, they all come together and work as a team to fight for something they believe in, which is kind of stellar. Lastly, I just like to look at it visually. Action, fighting, crazy stunts, weapons, pretty ladies. They use the most cliche action movie scenes ever, but who cares? It's awesome. I love that it makes me pumped up and excited and motivated. Props to you, Bad Blood crew.

Only flaw to this video is the end when instead of actually battling, they throw a cat fight slap. I mean, c'mon. You just trained hardcore. Give an actual punch.

Okay, I'm sorry! My nerdy obsessions is over. For now.



Ps,
I will eventually cosplay LeeLoo from The Fifth Element.
