You Need to Calm Down by Taylor Swift
The Lyric video for "You Need to Calm Down" is a fun, font-focused celebration of color, and gay pride. It might also be a subtle dig at Trump and Trumpism. In a video posted by Beats 1 on Twitter, Taylor says, "It’s about how I’ve observed a lot of different people...
