Mariska Hargitay starred in Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood music video in 2015, and the Law & Order actress revealed that she learnt the importance of fearlessness from working alongside the 32-year-old singer.
Hargitay appeared on the June 25, 2025, episode of Call Her Daddy with host Alex Cooper, where she talked about discovering her biological father, her experience as a survivor of sexual assault, her character in the SVU Series, and her friendship with Taylor Swift.
The 61-year-old spoke about starring in Swift’s "Bad Blood" music video and described it as the best one:
“It was so fun. It’s the best music video,”
The actress described Taylor Swift as a boss lady, adding that she had learnt so much from her:
"She was just warm and smart and kind and such a boss lady,”
She added:
“I learned so much from her. That's what I love about her, is that she's so young, but she shows us in such beautiful ways how to be fearless and a boss lady."
Mariska also recalled the moment she joined the cast of the music video, including Zendaya, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Ellen Pompeo, and Karlie Kloss amongst others, on the MTV Video Music Awards stage in 2015.
