"Throwback to my first day of fight training for the Bad Blood music video," Taylor, 25, captioned the Instagram video. "Thank you so much for the 9 nominations. You can vote for Video of the Year NOW!!!"

Far out. If that's her first day of training, we'd love to see her last. She has impressive boxing skills!
