As promised, Taylor Swift has delivered a colourful video for her latest single "You Need to Calm Down."
 
The clip carries over the song's message of shutting down haters and living every month like it's Pride Month, and she roped in plenty of celebrity friends to get the point across.
 
The video boasts appearances by LGBTQ+ figures like the cast of Queer Eye, RuPaul (and several Drag Race alumni), Laverne Cox, Billy Porter, Ellen DeGeneres (as hinted at on Ellen), Adam Lambert, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Adam Rippon, Hannah Hart, Hayley Kiyoko and Swift's co-executive producer Todrick Hall.
 
There are also brief cameos by Ciara, Ryan Reynolds and others.
 
Most notable, however, is Katy Perry reprising her role as the Met Ball hamburger to coincide with Swift's French fry getup. It seems like the peace between the two really is holding up.
 
Watch the star-studded "You Need to Calm Down" video below.

"You Need to Calm Down" will appear on Swift's upcoming album Lover, which arrive August 23 through Republic.
