Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner
Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner

Gigi Hadid. Cara Delevingne. Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” was as much a roundup of fashion It girls (and Kendall Jenner’s besties) as it was a public declaration of Swift’s squad members. But Kendall herself wasn’t in the video for a very good reason—and it doesn’t reflect at all on her T. Swizzle friendship status.

According to E! Online, Kendall was personally invited to be in the video but “couldn’t do it because she had an out-of-town commitment on shoot day,” a source explained. “She was bummed she couldn’t but loved the video.”

A true shame because she would’ve rocked the video’s slick leather ensembles. But hey, there’s always the next music video (“Welcome to New York,” anyone?).

If you missed the epic video, you can watch it here.
