Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics

Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look 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 have to do this?

I was thinking that you could be trusted

Did you have to ruin what was shiny?

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 laughin' right at me

Ooh, 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 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 kinda 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 you're comin' my way, just don't

Ooh, 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 what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've 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've 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 (Ghosts)

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes (Hey)

You say sorry just for show (Hey)

If you live like that, you live with ghosts (Hey), mmm

If you love like that, blood runs cold

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood, hey (Bad blood)

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve them (Don't think we can solve them)

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood, hey ('Cause now we got bad blood)

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done (Look what you've done)

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood, hey (Ooh, woah)

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

Throughout the song, Swift questions the motives behind the betrayal and reflects on the pain inflicted. The narrative conveys a sense of empowerment as Swift acknowledges the existence of "bad blood" but remains resilient in the face of adversity.

The chorus, with the repeated line "Baby, now we got bad blood," serves as a powerful anthem symbolizing the rupture of trust and the transformation of a positive relationship into one characterized by negativity.
