Almost a month after the music video of Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar set a Vevo record, Madonna's "B***h, I'm Madonna" featuring Nicki Minaj was recently released and it appears to challenge the former.
The two collaboration songs have several similarities. First, the two songs apparently have a white musician as the main artist and a black rapper as a collaborator. Second, the songs' videos both feature many big artists.
In terms of quantity, the "Bad Blood" music video has a lot more celebrities in it than the "B***h, I'm Madonna" music video. The music video of the recent track from Swift's "1989" album has 18 celebrities including Swift and Lamar.
The celebrities who are in "Bad Blood" with Swift and Lamar are Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding, Serayah, Zendaya, Lena Dunham, Hailee Steinfeld, Jessica Alba, Ellen Pompeo, Lily Aldridge, Mariska Hargitay, GiGi Hadid, Hayley Williams, Cara Delevingne, Cindy Crawford, Karlie Kloss and Martha Hunt.
Putting an army of female celebrities, who are also Swift's friends, in the "Bad Blood" music video apparently worked as it attracted 20.1 million views in just 24 hours not only on YouTube but also on several Vevo platforms after debuting at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.
On the other hand, the music video of Madonna and Minaj's "B***h, I'm Madonna" only has six stars including Madonna and Minaj but they are apparently bigger celebrities than those who are in Swift and Lamar's "Bad Blood.
Available on Tidal, "B***h, I'm Madonna" stars Madonna, Minaj, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Katy Perry, who is believed to be the subject of Swift's "Bad Blood."
