And in the end, it wasn't Swift who stole the show. Instead, try the rapper who, as rumored, popped up on the remix. Yes, Kendrick Lamar indeed appears on the song and not just in the video, but it's not your typical bridge appearance following the verse-chorus, verse-chorus setup.

Instead, Lamar's there from the start, adding a quick rhyme at the start, a second one after the first verse, and then more appearances intermittently throughout as Swift's Catastrophe character trains to become the assassin that will defeat that dastardly Selena Gomez.
