“It’s like Christmas has come early”

For what seems like weeks (I know it was only a few days, but still) Taylor Swift has been teasing the release of the Bad Blood music video, and now it’s finally here.

This is possibly the most excited I have been to see a music video ever. Normally I’m more excited to hear a new single than see a new video, but Bad Blood was hyped up so much I think even the biggest T-Swift cynic has been dying to see it.

After drip feeding fans Sin City style character posters – along with the huge revelation that it will now feature Kendrick Lamar (not on the album version) – Bad Blood finally graced our computers/TVs/phones after its premiere before the BMAs. All the hype? Massively worth it. Everyone featured looks amazing, Taylor Swift can definitely pull of red hair, and is it just me or does anyone else have the urge to buy a badass dress and wear heavy eye makeup all the time?

And if that wasn’t enough…

Music fans got another gift this evening in the form of Muse’s new track Mercy from upcoming album Drones. The track seems to take a more subdued tone compared to Psycho and Dead Inside, but is by no means less…. Muse-y. True to form, the track (according to Matt Bellamy) follows the protagonist being overcome by the dark forces in Psycho. Drones may well be an album with a story line. Listen below:
