Taylor Swift’s ultra-colorful, Pride themed music video for her second single, “You Need To Calm Down” was released this week and was filled to the brim with celebrity cameos. A tea party with the Fab Five, Katy Perry reprising her role as a hamburger and Ryan Reynolds as a painter are just among the handful of celeb appearances that we have been treated with. Nearly every celebrity was cast because of their prominence and advocacy in the LGBTQ+ community and some have even been longtime friends of Swift.
Scroll below for a guide to all of the cameos in “You Need To Calm Down”!
