Fans are going wild after learning that Zendaya once starred in a Taylor Swift video, with the star having previously spoke out about the experience.
It’s the collaboration nobody expected and the truth is that it actually took place almost a decade ago.
Zendaya, 27, started her career as a child model and has gone on to reach unprecedented heights in film and TV, starring in Euphoria, Challengers and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
With Swift being one of the most famous pop stars on the planet and currently knee deep into her expansive Eras tour, together they make a formidable duo.

One of Swift’s most famous songs is ‘Bad Blood’ which, if you can believe it, was released back in 2014, with the music video following a year after.
The video broke the internet, featuring an ensemble of 17 famous faces including Gigi Hadid, Kendrick Lamar and Selena Gomez.
But fans have been startled to learn that Zendaya was in the video too – playing a character called ‘Cut-Throat.’
With her hair gelled back in a ponytail and wearing black lipstick, the actress looks pretty unrecognisable to who she is today.
One person wrote on X: “watching the bad blood music video and cheering for zendaya and hayley williams like it’s the super bowl.”
Another person said: “I studied the Bad Blood music video for GCSE media studies YET I was today years old when I realised Zendaya was in the video.”

A third added: “What do you mean zendaya was in the bad blood music video??”
Zendaya has previously spoken out about her involvement in the star studded video.
She told ET Online: “[Taylor is] just a genius. She’s so smart. People are going to be blown and are going to be obsessed with [the Bad Blood video]. I don’t know how they’re going to think about anything else!”
“She’s so open and wants everyone to have fun together.”
It’s long been alleged that ‘Bad Blood’, a song about betrayal, was written by Swift about fellow songstress Katy Perry, following a fall out over backing dancers.
In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Swift confirmed the song was about a woman in the music industry.

She said: “For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not. She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?'”
Then during an appearance on The Late Show with James Corden in 2017, Perry said of Swift: “Honestly, it’s really like she started it and it’s time for her to finish it. It was a full shutdown and then she writes a song about me, and I’m like, ‘Okay, cool, cool, cool, that’s how you want to deal with it? Karma!'”
Zendaya was asked about the feud during her interview with ET, and she simply said she had ‘no idea’ about a feud, and added: “For me, it was just a cool experience ‘cause [Swift] asked me to be a part of it.”
