Taylor Swift has officially and successfully morphed genres from country to pure pop, but what would she sound like as a classic rock, reggae, rap or '90s R&B act? Now, fans don't really have to wonder anymore. In a new viral video, metal singer Anthony Vincent has recreated Swift's latest 1989 hit "Bad Blood" (featuring Kendrick Lamar) using the distinct style of 20 different musicians. Everyone from South Park's Chef to Black Sabbath to TLC and Cyndi Lauper are covered in the impressive four-minute video.

The biting Katy Perry dis track is kicked off by Vincent with the original version, as he sunnily goes into a Swift-y voice. Vincent continues the song's original form by taking on Lamar's signature abrasive yet melodic rapping style.

But from there, the "Bad Blood" cover takes an intense left turn, with a '60s stomping version courtesy of the style of The Rolling Stones. Vincent leaves no genre untouched, covering everything from reggae (Shaggy) to hair metal (Def Leppard) and even show tunes (Grease) and children's programming (Barney and Friends).

All the while throughout the dramatics, the basic structure and bones of "Bad Blood" come through loud and clear.

"Bad Blood" is the fourth official single from Taylor Swift's new album 1989; it follows the release and promotion of "Shake it Off," "Blank Space" and "Style." "Bad Blood" has seen major success for Swift, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has since taken a backseat to Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" for the last five weeks.
