Taylor Swift - "Bad Blood" Music Video Analysis...
When looking at the genre within Taylor Swift's music video "Bad Blood" we can see this main idea of a mixture between Electropop and Rap. Electropop is a combination of Electric Music and Pop. In the idea of Rap you see the focus to be on a Rapper, however is can be partly true within this music video, but it is more less equally split between the Rapper and various diffeerent characters (artists) within the video.
Futhermore, within this music video we can see it has a narrative included within it, possibly this idea about a spy who is betrayed by somebody and trains very hard to recover a stolen breifcase. However, in my opinion when I looks at this music video it kind of looks like a James Bond type of action agent setting.
Secondly, when looking further in I gain this idea that there are some performance-based narrative aspects within this music video by developing on the basic storyline. The performance based scenes within this video is the fighting and training scenes which are shown a majority of time in this music video.
When looking at the visual lyric relationships within this music video of Bad Blood, the lyrics fairly describe a possible relationship in which has been damaged, possibly permanently, with this key idea of being betrayed which this is then reflected within the narrative of this music video and throughout.
Futhermore, when looking at this music video we can see the idea of intertextual references. Which this has been suggested that the lyrics lines "If you like that, you live with ghosts" this could be a possible reference to one of Katy Perry's song "Ghost". This was then explained as being called "Bad Blood" because it may be based on Katy Perry, who might have attempted to sabotage one of Taylor's concert tours.
However, when looking into this music video we can see that all the chartacters are holding props, which in this case is weapons. Which having these doesn't help reflect pop genre, however it helps to match the weapons with the narrative of the music video and its key concepts, within the main idea behind this song.
