Sir Ian McKellen dramatically reads the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood

SIR Ian McKellen is the latest celeb to join Taylor Swift’s star-studded Bad Blood squad. The legendary actor impressed Tay with a dramatic reading of the hit.

SIR Ian McKellen is an absolute legend.

While we don’t need further proof of this, he’s gone and outdone himself with a dramatic reading of the lyrics from Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk”.

Promoting his new movie Mr. Holmes in a chat with Yahoo! Movies, McKellen rapidly delivers the lyrics with all the deep, heavy breathing charm you’d expect.

McKellen’s BFF Sir Patrick Stewart also recently gave a dramatic reading of Tay’s hit “Blank Space” — and tweeted the girl herself to ask if they could join her famous inner circle.

“May we join the squad?” Stewart tweeted Taylor with a link to their readings.

And it turns out the “Shake It Off” singer was pretty impressed.

“Thanks for reciting my lyrics, @IanMcKellen and @SirPatStew! You’ve made my day. You two are ULTIMATE Squad Goals,” she replied.
