Fans of the original track will still love this re-imagined version because it is still upbeat and fun and will have you singing along to the catchy “now we’ve got bad blood”.
Ryan Adams’ new track ‘Bad Blood’ is an expertly re-do of Taylor Swift’s original song. If ‘Bad Blood’ is anything to go by then Adams’ ‘1989’ is sure to be a hit everywhere.
