The Bad Blood video ends with an epic showdown. As Catastrophe and her allies prepare themselves, Arsyn reappears near the end of the video with her henchwomen. In the video's last scene, Arsyn and Catastrophe come face-to-face and slap each other as the screen fades to black.

The fans were left to wonder about who won the battle between the two. Unfortunately, Gomez revealed in an interview with MTV that even she doesn't have an answer. She also added that the video was originally going to have a different ending but at the last minute, director Joseph Kahn decided to add in more action. She reported,

"It was actually funny because the video was originally going to end with us just looking at each other."

She revealed that Joseph suggested,

'I think it would be really cool if you guys just went for it."

Gomez was more than happy to have an exciting ending. She looked at Taylor Swift and said, "I love you." Swift reciprocated the love and they went on to slap each other in the video.
