Lena Dunham, Kendrick Lamar to Play Noir Badasses in Taylor Swift’s Next Music Video

After the womp-womp that was her last video, “Style,” Taylor Swift has decided to turn things up a notch for her next offering by inviting a handful of her famous pals to star as elaborate, funny-named noir characters. She tweeted a hint about the video, for the song “Bad Blood,” yesterday evening, explaining that each star chose their own name and persona:

Swift is going to be CATastrophie, if you didn’t get that already:
