“It was an honor,” the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum told Page Six Style of being tapped to appear in Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” music video, which dropped Monday morning. “Taylor told us it was going to be the biggest video she’d ever done, but when I saw [the final version], I was ecstatic.” The clip features a slew of LGBTQ celebrities, ranging from Ellen DeGeneres to the “Queer Eye” Fab Five; Bonet, 28, stars as rapper Cardi B in the “Pop Queen Pageant” sequence alongside seven other drag queens, each impersonating one of music’s leading ladies (Riley Knoxx plays Beyoncé, Adore Delano is Katy Perry, Jade Jolie stars as Swift and so on). RuPaul then emerges to crown the pageant’s winner, but winds up tossing the tiara in the air instead to illustrate that, as Swift points out in the song, “we all got crowns.”

In her new music video “You need to Calm down”, Taylor Swift featured a bunch of stars. After her song “Bad Blood” this is the only song of hers that has many celebrities in it. Taylor Swift kept dropping hints about how her new song from her album “Lover” was going to be a star studded affair, and she has not disappointed. Taylor Swift made her new single all about the LGBTQ+ Community. Many stars have made appearances in the song. Here are some faces you will be excited to see in the video. Ryan Reynolds, makes an appearance towards the end of the video. He is the husband of Blake Lively, and we know how close Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are. After all the ruckus, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have finally buried the hatchet. Now her professional rival has become her nemesis. Katy Perry and Taylor Swift had almost a decade long feud but now they have become friends again. “You need to calm down”, also has a cameo of Katy Perry in her Met Gala outfit, and Taylor Swift complements Katy’s Burger, with her own fries. Ellen Degeneres, an all-time favourite of Taylor Swift, and a big time supporter of the LGBTQ+ Community also makes an appearance in this video. It is not the first time Ellen has done a cameo in a song. She also appeared in “Girls like you” music video by Maroon 5.

More than a year after Katy Perry extended a literal olive branch to Taylor Swift, which many interpreted to be the long-awaited end to their drawn-out feud, the two former “enemies” have taken the next step in their similarly drawn-out reconciliation: embracing one another in burger and fries costumes. Last Monday, Swift dropped the rainbow-sherbet–hued music video for her vaguely pro-LGBTQ single, “You Need to Calm Down,” in which Perry makes a notable cameo. And it’s … something. Toward the end of the video, Swift, wearing a fries costume, runs into Perry, wearing her outfit from the Met Gala, and they decide to dance together and hug it out. Right around the release of the video, the two also posted matching Instagrams of them embracing. “This meal is BEEF-free,” reads the caption on Perry’s post. Swift, on her Instagram, captioned the photo, “A happy meal.” http://instagram.com/p/Byz6pB5HAiQ While Perry and Swift started making up a year ago, they’ve really ramped up their reconciliation — or at least the publicity of it — in the past few days. Just last week, Perry Instagrammed a plate of chocolate-chip cookies, bearing the words “Peace at Last,” with Swift tagged in the caption. (Although, one could argue that their reconciliation started two years ago, when Perry told Arianna Huffington that she was “100 percent” ready to let go of the beef.) Following the release of the video, Swift told E! that she and Perry have “really been on good terms for a while.” And yet, they were both apparently worried about making their friendship public.

Taylor Swift’s relentlessly sunny video for her new single “You Need to Calm Down” is getting shade from members and supporters of the same LGBTQ community the song champions.
The superstar’s pitch for GLAAD in the video release for the second song in her new album “Lover” triggered a spike in donations to the advocacy group. And Swift backed her stepped up activism with a surprise performance at the Stonewall Inn to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the New York uprising that launched the fight for Pride equality.
Her video begins with Swift in a pink trailer complaining — with relatively good humor — about her online haters. But then it morphs into concern for her “friends.” Why are “you mad when you could be GLAAD?” she sings in an inflatable pool in a technicolor trailer park popping with rainbow flags and paint jobs.
The easy slide from her struggles with fame to what the LGBTQ community faces angered some.
“It’s a breathtaking argument: that famous people are persecuted in a way meaningfully comparable to queer people,” Spencer Kornhaber wrote in The Atlantic. He calls the song Swift’s “grand LGBTQ-rights statement” that falls short.

It's been just under a month since the Grammy winner released her instantly iconic music video for "You Need to Calm Down." Now, T.Swift is taking viewers behind the scenes of the video, sharing set secrets and revealing how the stunning visuals came to be. In the BTS video, posted to YouTube on Tuesday, the 29-year-old star takes her Swifties along as she films scenes in her trailer and in the pool, where things get a bit fiery. "Here we are on day three of shooting," T.Swift says. "This is where I'm basically shooting the whole beginning section of the video. It's my trailer, where I live, the inner shots of how I spend my mornings usually, making cocktails...and then walking to the pool." In one shot, Swift can be seen donning a Vivetta pink faux fur jacket over her bathing suit as she walks to the pool, her trailer in flames behind her.
