Katy Perry has today dropped the full video clip for rumoured Taylor Swift diss track ‘Swish Swish‘, after an attempt to build anticipation for its release with a trailer earlier this week.
The clip features Perry as the captain of an atrocious basketball team, the Tigers, coached by Molly Shannon, as they compete against actual bodybuilders and Hafþór Júlíus ‘The Mountain’ Björnsson.
And while Perry fans are pretty into the underdog basketball story, featuring Terry Crews, the cast of ‘GLOW‘, and some people from the internet we needed to google, everyone else is underwhelmed by – if not outright savage about – the clip.

swish swish music video looks like a movie that got 0% on rotten tomatoes before it even got out

I was more embarrassed watching the video for swish swish than the time I handed a barman money and there was a tampon in with the change

(NB: This is not the actual Lady Gaga).
The Swish Swish video is ridiculous and silly and feels like the most Katy Perry thing she has done all year.

i like the song but the Swish Swish video is literally stale memes and recycled punchlines from parody music videos

Sure this is in Spanish but I think we all get the picture:

‘Swish Swish‘, a single featuring Nicki Minaj (who does in fact own it in this vidya, and has a beef with Swift all of her own), was taken from Perry’s record ‘Witness‘, released in June.
Swift is of course expected to release the first single from her upcoming record ‘Reputation‘ later today American time – there’s nothing like competing releases to add some fuel to a fiery feud.
