Taylor Swift has released a playful music video for “You Need To Calm Down”, the second single off her upcoming seventh album “Lover”. The video features countless celebrity cameos and celebrates the LGBTQ community. From the cast of “Queer Eye” to iconic drag queens from “Ru Paul’s Drag Race”, we point out every single star Taylor included in her video.

We break down all the hidden meanings and Easter eggs you might have missed. From possibly shading President Donald Trump, to foreshadowing Taylor’s long-awaited reconciliation with famous frenemy Katy Perry, “You Need To Calm Down” is full of subtle references.

We explain why Taylor includes a nod to everyone from Beyoncé to Ariana Grande, and also point out where Taylor’s latest Instagram clues appear in the video.

The song and video celebrates unity and individuality, with Taylor showing solidarity with her fellow female musicians as well as the LGBTQ community as a whole. “You Need To Calm Down” is Swift’s first musical effort at politics, and it likely won’t be her last.

The scene where Katy is a burger and Taylor is french fries, stands for BFFs.

"Why are you mad? When you could be GLAAD?" GLAAD is an American non-governmental media monitoring organization founded by LGBT people in the media. Before March 2013, the name "GLAAD" had been an acronym for "Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation", but became the primary name due to its inclusiveness of bisexual and transgender issues.

Couple of things to add :D - "16th Avenue" is a reference to the lyric "skipping down 16th Avenue" in 'I Think He Knows' - "Cruel Summer" is the name of one of the tracks (that one is pretty obvious after the album release) - Hayley shooting the arrow to the five is a reference to the song "The Archer" which is track five - "Burger" and "French Fries" stands for BFF's - The dice not only add up to 13 but could be a reference to the lyric "devils roll the dice" in Cruel Summer - The cake-grabbing at the end also parallels Blank Space in the scene where Taylor stabs a cake - With the back tattoo, a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope. Not only do we see Brendon's heart turn into a kaleidoscope in the music video for Me! but also links to the lyric in Welcome to New York from 1989, “Kaleidoscope of loud, heartbeats under coats". After we see the tattoo, she covers it up under a coat. Welcome to New York is a song about starting fresh, which could reference Taylor starting fresh with the hate and drama (the fire behind her in the trailer) being left behind. -This one is a stretch but "Snowcones" could reference the lyric "Sidewalk chalk, covered in snow" in "It's Nice to Have A Friend". Also, the pavement in this shot is white, almost like it's "covered in snow", just like the song lyric. -Adam Lambert's tattoo in Latin translates to "music soothes the savage beast" which could reference Taylor using her music to heal from all the negative attention she got. Even now in the folklore era, the cardigan music video showed Taylor clinging to a piano while a storm ensued around her, carrying that same theme. This is a real tattoo of Adam's though, so this one could be a stretch. I think that's all I can think of!

The shots where hands grab large chunks of cakes could be a reference to the many bakeries in America that refused to make wedding cakes for gay weddings
