Which song won Taylor Swift a Grammy Award for Best Music Video?

The story behind the answer

The song that won Taylor Swift a Grammy Award for Best Music Video was "Bad Blood."

Swift's "Bad Blood" video won at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016. The award credited the visual to Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar, whose guest rap appears on the single's remix. Directed by Joseph Kahn, the cinematic video presents Swift as a secret agent assembling an all-star team after a betrayal.

The video was released in 2015 as part of the promotion for Swift's fifth studio album, "1989." Its large cast included performers and celebrities such as Selena Gomez, Kendrick Lamar, Zendaya and Ellie Goulding. The production's action-movie style helped make it one of the era's most discussed pop videos.

A common confusion is Swift's later Grammy win for "All Too Well: The Short Film," which won Best Music Video in 2023. "Bad Blood" was her earlier victory in the category, while "1989" is the album associated with the song and "Reputation" is a later Swift album.
