Bad Blood

Taylor Swift · 1989 (Deluxe) [2014]

Cause baby now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look at what you've done

Cause baby now we got bad blood



Hey!

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve it

You made a really deep cut

And baby now we got bad blood



Hey!



Did you have to do this?

I was thinking that you could be trusted

Did you have to ruin what was shining now it's all rusted

Did you have to hit me?

Where I'm weak baby I couldn't breathe

And rub it in so deep

Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me

Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times

You and I



Cause baby now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look at what you've done

Cause baby now we got bad blood



Hey!

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve them

You made a really deep cut

And baby now we got bad blood

Hey!



Did you think we'd be fine?

Still got scars on my back from your knife

So don't think it's in the past

These kind of wounds they last and they last

Now did you think it all through?

All these things will catch up to you

And time can heal but this won't

So if your coming my way, just don't

Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times

You and I



Cause baby now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look at what you've done

Cause baby now we got bad blood



Hey!

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve them

You made a really deep cut

And baby now we got bad blood

Hey!



Band-aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts

If you love like that, blood runs bad



Cause baby now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look at what you've done

Cause baby now we got bad blood



Hey!

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve them

You made a really deep cut

And baby now we got bad blood



Cause now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look at what you've done

Cause baby now we got bad blood

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve them

You made a really deep cut

And baby now we got bad blood (HEY!)

Bad Blood

Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" serves as the lead single from her 2014 pop masterpiece, 1989. Recorded during the height of her transition from country to pure pop, the track exemplifies the era's sleek production and anthemic energy. The song explores themes of fractured friendships and betrayal, delivered through Swift's signature melodic sensibility and a driving beat that defined the mid-2010s sound. As a cornerstone of the 1989 catalogue, the recording solidified her status as a global pop icon and remains a defining track of her discography.
