The video, featuring collaborator Kendrick Lamar, sees Swift star in a mini all-female superhero film (minus the rapper, who plays 'Welvin Da Great').
The all-blazing Hunger-Games-meets-Men-in-Black video stars a host of well-known actresses, singers and models including Lena Dunham, Jessica Alba, Ellie Goulding and Cara Delevingne.
