Well, hello there.
Taylor Swift is finally back on the scene releasing new music after taking a couple of years off.
And lads, she’s back with a bang.
The singer released her new music video for ‘You Need to Calm Down’ this afternoon and it’s possibly one of her best music videos yet.
It features a whole host of famous celebrities including Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, Adam Lambert, Ryan Reynolds, Laverne Cox, Dexter Mayfield, Ciara, RuPaul, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Justin Mikita, Billy Porter, Todrick Hall, Hayley Kiyoko, Chester Lockhart, Adam Rippon, and Hannah Hart, Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Tan France.
Yep, a lot.
The song and video is a clear shout out to the LGBTQ+ community and focuses on standing up for every single person in it.
Taylor told Apple Music’s Beats 1: “I’ve observed a lot of different people in our society who just put so much energy and effort into negativity, and it just made me feel like, ‘You need to just calm down. Like, you’re stressing yourself out. This seems like it’s more about you than what you’re going off about. Like, just calm down’.”
YES, Taylor.
‘You Need to Calm Down’ is part of Taylor’s upcoming album, Lover, which is expected to be released on August 23, according to E! News.
