I was honoured to be part of 'Bad Blood' video: Cindy Crawford

London: Supermodel Cindy Crawford says she jumped at the chance of starring in pop star Taylor Swift's much-talked about video of her song "Bad Blood".

The 49-year-old supermodel was approached by the "1989" pop star to play the part of the Headmistress in her "Sin City" style mini-movie and Crawford said, "Sign me up" before Swift, 26, even had a chance to explain the concept to her, reported Female First.

"Taylor got in touch with me and asked me to do it. Before she even explained the idea I was like, 'Sign me up!' I was honoured that she asked me. I really was. I think she was honoured that I said yes."

Despite Swift having signed up a galaxy of her star friends for "Bad Blood" - including Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne - she was desperate for the queen of the 90s catwalk to take part.

And Cindy loved being able to "connect" with the singer and her friends. "I thought it was pretty cool that in some ways the young generation looks up to me. And it was a great way for me to connect to the younger generation ... Taylor's social media is huge. It was fun. She said she wanted to pay homage to my generation, so that was nice."
