(I do quite like the remixed version actually).

EDIT: ‘Bad Blood’ re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 7 on November 6, 2023, thanks to Taylor’s seemingly never-ending (Taylor’s Version) re-recording project. Max was credited as co-writer only, with production handled by Taylor and Christopher Rowe.
