Taylor Swift Debuts Lily Aldridge, Zendaya & Hayley Williams Characters for 'Bad Blood' Music Video

Swift began the rollout of new characters yesterday (May 7) by revealing Aldridge's character. Alongside the same tagline as Swift's poster ("Band-Aids Don't Fix Bullet Holes"), the supermodel is shown to be playing the role of "Frostbyte."

Meanwhile, actor/singer Zendaya will be taking on the knife-brandishing role of "Cut-Throat" and Williams will be bringing back her red hair as "The Crimson Curse."

More characters are expected to be unveiled in the coming hours/days. Cara Delevigne in particular is confirmed to make an appearance in the "Bad Blood" music video. The plot of the video is yet unconfirmed, though it seems to involve a deadly girl gang of sorts, starring some of Swift's very high profile friends.

"Bad Blood" will premiere on Sunday, May 17, during the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. The clip was produced by Swift and directed by "Blank Space" director Joseph Kahn.

The music video will just be the latest visual for a 1989 single. Swift has already released videos for the singles "Shake It Off," "Blank Space" and "Style."
