Music video


Background

The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who previously directed the music video for the second single from 1989, "Blank Space". The video was filmed in Los Angeles on April 12, 2015, but the setting for the video is London. The music video premiered on May 17, 2015, at the start of the Billboard Music Awards. Each actor chose their character's name. Swift began teasing the video in May on Instagram by posting photos of each character. The video broke Vevo's 24-hour viewing record by accumulating 20.7 million views in its first day of release, beating the 19.6 million 24-hour record previously held by Nicki Minaj for the music video of her song "Anaconda" in 2014.


Synopsis

The music video starts with Catastrophe (Swift) and Arsyn (Selena Gomez) fighting off a group of men wearing suits in an office somewhere in London. When all of the men are defeated, Arsyn decides to betray Catastrophe by kicking her out of a window. The song begins with Catastrophe lying on a broken car, as Welvin da Great (Kendrick Lamar) begins to rap his verse and Lucky Fiori (Lena Dunham) smokes a cigar. Catastrophe is shown being nursed back to health by The Trinity (Hailee Steinfeld), and after some time, she is ready to start training for her revenge. The other characters in the video are shown in succession, some in training with Catastrophe. They are (in order of appearance):

Dilemma (Serayah)
Slay-Z (Gigi Hadid)
Destructa X (Ellie Goulding)
Homeslice (Martha Hunt)
Mother Chucker (Cara Delevingne)
Cut-Throat (Zendaya)
The Crimson Curse (Hayley Williams)
Frostbyte (Lily Aldridge)
Knockout (Karlie Kloss)
Domino (Jessica Alba)
Justice (Mariska Hargitay) and Luna (Ellen Pompeo)
Headmistress (Cindy Crawford)

When her training is complete, Catastrophe and her friends exact their revenge on Arsyn and her henchmen. The two teams approach each other while an enormous explosion goes off in the background, blotting out the London skyline, including 30 St Mary Axe, and the video ends with both of the women simultaneously striking each other in the face.

In a set of promotional posters, Elsa Hosk was supposed to be appear as Cutlass, but her appearance in the video was scrapped for unknown reasons.
