Taylor Swift thinks Miley Cyrus is "jealous" of her.

The Wrecking Ball singer recently criticised Swift's Bad Blood music video for its violent theme and the 1989 star is reportedly not impressed.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: "Saying things like this is so typical of Miley. She is desperate for attention and will do anything to get it. It must kill Miley that Taylor has gotten so much attention for Bad Blood. In Taylor's mind, Miley is just being jealous.

"She wants the spotlight on her and taking shots at Taylor is a good way to do it."

In the latest issue of Marie Claire, Cyrus, 22, questioned why she was blasted for stripping down in music videos and photohoots, while Swift and pals - including Lena Dunham and Selena Gomez - strutted around with weapons in her latest video.

Cyrus said: "I don't get the violence-revenge thing. That's supposed to be a good example? And I'm a bad role model because I'm running around with my t****es out? I'm not sure how t****es are worse than guns."

Cyrus isn't the only pop star to take aim at the Bad Blood video. Katy Perry, whom it's thought the song is about, reacted to the visual on Twitter.

She wrote: "Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman... (sic)"
