Zendaya will be in Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' music video after all!

The 18-year-old actress has been denying claims that she is starring in Swift's latest video even though early pictures revealed that she was on the L.A. set with Swift. Despite Zendaya's efforts to conceal her role, Swift has posted several promo pictures for "Bad Blood" on her Instagram page and Zendaya is in one of them.

In the picture, Zendaya is holding some kind of blade by her chin as she stares directly into the camera. The title on the picture reads: "ZENDAYA starring as CUT-THROAT"

Before the "Style" singer confirmed Zendaya's role, she announced supermodel Lily Aldridge's role. Swift posted a picture of the Victoria Secret model with similar artwork on Instagram as well. In the picture, Aldridge is wearing a fur hood with the words, "LILY ALDRIDGE starring as FROSTYBYTE" written across the image.

Swift will star as "Catastrophe" in the video. Before the premiere of the video, Swift is expected to reveal more characters, played by her many celebrity friends. Swift reportedly invited Cara Delevingne, Kendrick Lamar and Haley Williams to be a part of the project.

"Bad Blood" is the fourth single from Swift's "1989" studio album. Swift stated that the song is not about an ex-boyfriend but rather, a friendship she had with a female artist that went sour. Many reports believe that the song is about Katy Perry.

The music video, which was directed by Joseph Khan and produced by Swift, will debut on May 17, 2015 during Billboard Music Awards on ABC.
