Bad Blood
Taylor Swift Lamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
(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
I rubbed 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 you come in 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
You live like that, you live with ghosts (Ghosts)
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes (Hey!)
You say sorry just for show (Hey!)
You live like that, you live with ghosts (Hey!)
Hm, 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 (Think we can solve them)
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we got bad blood
('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 at what you've done (Look at what you've done)
'Cause baby now we got bad blood (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!)
The song "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift is widely believed to be a diss track against her former friend and fellow artist, Katy Perry. The lyrics suggest that their relationship used to be full of love and mutual respect, but something happened that caused a deep rift that could not be repaired. The chorus repeats the phrase "now we got bad blood," which implies that the relationship has turned toxic and there is no going back.
The second verse addresses the betrayal that led to their falling out. Taylor questions why Katy would do something to hurt her so deeply, and suggests that the damage is irreparable. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as Taylor sings, "band-aids don't fix bullet holes." This metaphor is symbolic of the idea that small gestures like apologies or attempts to make amends cannot fix the deeper wounds caused by a breach of trust.
Overall, "Bad Blood" is a powerful song about the pain of losing a friendship and the damage that can be done when trust is broken. While it may have been written about one specific relationship, the lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced betrayal or the loss of a close friend.

Reflect on how you've caused this
Hey! Now we got problems

You hurt me deeply
And baby now we got bad blood
Our relationship has turned toxic
Hey! Did you have to do this?
Did you have to hurt me?
I was thinking that you could be trusted
I thought I could rely on you
Did you have to ruin what was shining now it's all rusted
You destroyed what we had
Did you have to hit me where I'm weak baby I couldn't breathe
You hurt me where I'm most vulnerable
I rubbed it in so deep
You added insult to injury
Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me
You seem to take pleasure in my pain
Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times
Recalling our past memories is painful
Still got scars on my back from your knife
I'm still hurting from what you've done
So don't think it's in the past
The damage is still present
These kind of wounds they last and they last
The pain stays with me
Now did you think it all through?
Did you consider the consequences?
All these things will catch up to you
Your actions will have repercussions
And time can heal but this won't
I won't be able to forgive and forget easily
So if you come in my way, just don't
I don't want to see or interact with you
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You can't just patch things up superficially
You say sorry just for show
Your apologies are not sincere
You live like that, you live with ghosts
Your actions have left you with regret and guilt
Hm, if you love like that blood runs bad
If you love in a destructive way, problems are bound to arise
