WATCH: Drake lip-syncs Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ in new ad
Just after gossips of them meeting up for a song collaboration, Drake honored Taylor Swift by lip-syncing her 2014 hit “Bad Blood” in his newest endorsement.
In the terse commercial premiered in the 2016 American Music Awards, the “Hotline Bling” singer, 30, started pumping iron with his friend in a sweaty gym. He later paused in his routine, cued “Bad Blood” in his Apple Music app, and mimicked the first part of the song while lifting weights. Lost in the music, he falters from the bench press. Drake’s song “Sneakin’” with 21 Savage can be also heard in the commercial.
This is a sequel to Taylor Swift’s advertisement earlier this year, where she jammed with Drake and Future’s 2015 track “Jumpman” in her advertisement. Swift, 26, played Drake’s song while trodding on a treadmill before slumping flat on her face.
