Taylor Swift Debuts Star-Studded Music Video for 'You Need to Calm Down' 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, via 'E News'
