Swift took to her official Instagram account to share photos of her and Lamar from the original sessions back in 2013. In the caption of the post, she revealed that the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper came back to re-record his famous verse on the track for her re-recording of the album.
“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,” Swift wrote.
She continued: “Every time the crowds on The Eras Tour would chant his line “you forgive, you forget, but you never let it… go!”, I smiled. The reality that Kendrick would go back in and re-record ‘Bad Blood’ so that I could reclaim and own this work I’m so proud of is surreal and bewildering to me. I’m overjoyed to say that the ‘Bad Blood’ Remix (featuring Kendrick Lamar) is available everywhere on the ‘1989’ Deluxe Edition.”
‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)‘, was released today (October 27). In a five-star review of the album, NME shared that the album “feels more symbolic than her previous re-releases. Not only is it another step closer to having a full back catalogue of albums that she will own, but it’s also a celebration of the moment Swift really took ownership of her pop sound.”
It continued: “As we’re witnessing the biggest year of Swift’s career so far, the artist’s ability to reinvent herself while honouring her core blueprint is only becoming more impressive. By journeying into the past, it’s a reminder that the future of Taylor Swift may hold so much more that will continue to surprise us.”
