Taylor Swift – “You Need To Calm Down”

Hello, haters! If anyone knows how to handle hate, it’s Taylor Swift. From Reputation to this, she always knows how to rise above. While this song is a bit wordy on first listen, it becomes really catchy over time. Seriously, I can’t get it out of my head. To accompany such a fun song, Taylor Swift released the music video for “You Need To Calm Down” today. The video features a number of celebrities who identify as LGBTQ, including Ellen DeGeneres, Hayley Kiyoko, Adam Lambert, Billy Porter, and even RuPaul and many contestants from "RuPaul's Drag Race" (including Jade Jolie, who is dressed as T-Swift herself), and so many more. It even includes a cameo from Katy Perry, with whom Taylor has had some beef with in the past. However, in the video, they are seen hugging and making up. This is just a really fun video with a great message of love. At the end, she even includes a message about Pride and another plug to support the Equality Act. How could someone not love Taylor Swift after this!? Check out the video here:
