Karlie Kloss! Kendrick Lamar! Lena Dunham! Hailee Steinfeld! Gigi Hadid! Your roommate's third cousin twice removed! Your tenth grade science teacher! That dude you saw on the subway this morning! You, probably!

That is a list of all the famous folk appearing in Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video. Fine, we probably threw some extra people in there, but the celeb names are all legit, and that's not even the full list. Tay has been releasing badass-looking character posters for all her friends that are appearing in the video for her next single, which is a tune about a friendship gone wrong. And if you ever thought for one second that homegirl didn't roll deep, Taylor just proved you wrong. Everyone is in this video.

Well, not everyone. We have exclusive info* about eight celebs who didn't make the cut for the "Bad Blood" crew, and we felt so bad for them that we not only gave them cool nicknames like the ones Taylor gave her friends, but we whipped up some cool character posters.

(*not exclusive and not real, actual info at all)

1. Katy Perry starring as AB Negative

AB negative? More like She B negative, right?! Also, we think Taylor missed a lyric opportunity because AB blood type is the universal receiver and all Katy ever did was (probably) take, take, take!

2. Harry Styles starring as Crybaby

If we learned anything from "Out of the Woods," it's that Harry Styles cried when he got stitches. #hitthebrakestoosoon

3. Meredith Grey starring as Purrfectly Evil

You remember what she did to Taylor's Met Gala dress last year, right? Imagine what she would do to human flesh.

4. Justin Bieber starring as Hopefully the One Who Gets Punched in the Face

Not to sound mean, but we really hope at least two of the ladies (we nominate Lena Dunham and Hayley Williams) roundhouse kick Bieber in the face.

5. Ryan Reynolds starring as Take Your Shirt Off

What? Can't you read your nickname, Reynolds? Take your shirt off!

6. Beyoncé starring as Slayonce

Slayonce also has a super power akin to Ant-Man where she can control the Beyhive with her mind. 

7. Meryl Streep starring as Satan's Mistress

She's one badass bitch. She's the boss. Meryl Streep will cut you down where you stand without blinking an eye. And then she'll win an Oscar for said cutting down.

8. Morgan Freeman starring as The Voice

(Read this in Morgan Freeman's voice): And so ends another chapter of our "Bad Blood" tale. And in the words of Ms. Swift: If you live like that you live with ghosts. If you love like that blood runs cold.

You can see Taylor's "Bad Blood" masterpiece at the Billboard Music Awards this Sunday. And if Morgan Freeman does end up making a cameo, then boy, will our faces be red.

Watch Live From the Red Carpet: The Billboard Music Awards Sunday at 6 p.m. on E!
