Taylor Swift has cashed in on her friendship points for an epic new video. From Ellie Goulding to Kendrick Lamar to Gigi Hadid to Lena Dunham and so, so many more, the buddy hoard is coming out of the woodwork to play some TBD part in her highly-anticipated "Bad Blood" music video. Since it is debuting on May 17th at the Billboard Music Awards, there's still time to announce more collaborators. Those still missing at this point include the following:
1. The Haim sisters, who even stood alongside Taylor when she Instagrammed her belly button for the first time.
2. Sam Smith, a friendship that apparently never goes "out of style."
3. Ed Sheeran
4. Lorde, who Taylor shared a cooking lesson, a TGIF meme, and an orange juice with.
5. Karlie Kloss, so-called "best friend" and fellow Vogue cover star.
Update: Karlie has officially been announced as "The Knockout."
