This year marks 10 years since Taylor Swift assembled the ultimate girl squad for her “Bad Blood” music video.
Swift released the clip in May 2015, featuring a who’s who of A-listers, up-and-coming starlets, and supermodels, including Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, Martha Hunt, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, and Lena Dunham, among others.
In the video, Swift gathers a literal squad of spandex-clad super spy assassins in a post-apocalyptic world to go against Gomez’s character in the video, who betrayed the singer (a likely nod to her feud at the time with Katy Perry).
Mariska Hargitay, Ellen Pompeo, whose “Law & Order: SVU” and “Grey’s Anatomy” characters, respectively, inspired Swift’s cats’ names, Jessica Alba, and Cindy Crawford served as mentor characters in the music video as well.
