In a new interview with People, Hailee Steinfeld recalled that she jumped at the chance to appear in the blockbuster music video for "Bad Blood," which has garnered more than 1.55 billion views to date.

“When Mrs. Swift calls you, you run to the phone. It doesn't even matter what the other side is going to tell you. You run to the phone and pick it up,” he said.

“It was the coolest thing to be a part of her music video with so many incredibly talented, dynamic women. There were three of me that day, too, which was pretty cool,” added Hailee Steinfeld, who played The Trinity.

"It was truly an honor to be a part of Taylor's world and her vision," he noted.

"I literally keep looking at the 'Eras' tour dates and trying to figure out when I can go," he continued.

Hailee Steinfeld shared even more details about her involvement in the 'Bad Blood' music video speaking to USA Today in 2015.

"Well, Taylor called me when she told me about the video and was like, 'I'm going to send you the idea and you're going to get it a lot better, but there's going to be three of you!'" he explained.

"And I said, 'This is going to be awesome. I have no idea what that is, but obviously I trust her and it's going to be amazing,'” he continued.

“When I got to the set, we had some different ideas. "Taylor helped me come up with an idea because I was having trouble, and 'The Trinity' just seemed to fit and sounded great," he recalled.

"I wish people would call me that on a daily basis because it's so cool," Hailee Steinfeld said.
