Plus, Steinfeld and Swift had a personal connection before the video. They were introduced by actress Emma Stone in 2010, when Steinfeld was 16 and Swift was 21, and a friendship blossomed.

“Taylor and I came up with the name ‘The Trinity’ for my character,” Steinfeld said in a 2015 appearance. The James Corden Show. “Which is really cool and, I think, the coolest thing we’ve ever done as friends, for sure.”

I was so grateful and honored just to be in Taylor’s world – didn’t we all, along with her genius, exist at one point? And being in that “Bad Blood” video was probably one of the coolest days ever. Just being a part of her world and her vision, and she has such a strong presence for almost everything she does. I think he is an artist that I refer to often when it comes to many aspects of my music career. What an honor to be a part of it all, what fun too. And looking back on it, it’s wild. It’s crazy. That was a big deal. I mean, it was pretty special to be a part of that era.
