After the release of this reimagined album, Taylor Swift shared her heartfelt thanks for Kendrick's dedication to revisiting and re-recording his vocals for the song.
On a social media post featuring a nostalgic photo of their collaborative efforts, the 33-year-old artist praised Kendrick Lamar for his role in the project. She reflected, "Watching @kendricklamar create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him."
Taylor went on to express her sheer astonishment at Kendrick's willingness to return to the recording studio and contribute to a reimagined "Bad Blood" to enable her to reclaim and assert ownership of a work she is immensely proud of. She enthusiastically announced the availability of the "Bad Blood Remix (featuring Kendrick Lamar)" on the 1989 Deluxe Edition, ensuring that fans worldwide could savor the renewed version of the song.
Originally, "Bad Blood" stood as a solo track on the initial 1989 album released in 2014. The remix featuring Kendrick was subsequently launched as a single in May 2015, and Kendrick Lamar made a memorable appearance in the star-studded music video, sharing the screen with notable figures like Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, and Karlie Kloss.
Taylor Swift embarked on the ambitious journey of re-recording her first six albums following the sale of her masters to music manager Scooter Braun. With the successful re-releases of Fearless, Speak Now, and Red, Taylor Swift and Reputation remain eagerly anticipated by her devoted fans.
