The music video for Swift’s LGBTQ anthem
dropped on June 17, and featured a slew of
guest appearances by celebrities. Some of those celebrities are: Ellen DeGeneres,
Ryan Reynolds, Laverne Cox, Billy Porter and
the cast of Queer Eye. The video also featured a surprise cameo by Katy
Perry, who Swift has famously feuded with since 2014. The pair can be seen hugging and dancing
at the end of the video, marking the official
end to their long-time feud. “You Need to Calm Down” is Swift’s second
song from her upcoming album ‘Lover,’ which
is expected to be released on August 23. The song's initial release on June 14 triggered
an influx of donations to GLAAD, an organization
that stands for LGBTQ representation in media. At the end of the music video, Swift
promoted her petition that calls for the
Senate to support the Equality Act. Taylor Swift,
