The music video for "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift depicts her falling out with Katy Perry through symbolic scenes and imagery: 1) The opening nighttime cityscape connotes the "criminal activity" in the song's lyrics and sets the ominous tone. 2) Taylor is shown overpowering a man in an office, paralleling her dominant role over Katy Perry's character (Arysn) who attacks her. 3) Scenes of Taylor surrounded by loyal models in white versus Arysn in black suggest Taylor sees herself as good versus Katy as evil, representing their soured relationship.
