Katy Perry is just ONE of the best moments in Taylor Swift’s “You Need To Calm Down” music video

Katy Perry and other huge stars appeared in Taylor Swift’s new music video. But there’s one moment that truly makes it a masterpiece.

Sure, Taylor Swift says obsessing about other people is “no fun.” But do you know what IS fun (besides spelling)? Obsessing about all the familiar faces that showed up in her new “You Need to Calm Down” music video.

While everyone seems to be preoccupied with a burger-wearing Katy Perry (burgers and fries are the best of friends, after all), let’s be honest: the controversial American Idol judge is only a small part of what makes this video so iconic.

See if you can spot all the fab celebrity cameos before we give them away.

First, let’s talk about Hannah Hart. Hannah got her start on the internet with My Drunk Kitchen and has since branched out into publishing books, hosting shows on traditional television, and appearing in music videos, apparently. She owned every second of her screen time.

Next up: Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen, Hannah, and Taylor in the same video? She’s seen getting a tattoo and looks fabulous as always. We wish the tattoo was real…

Fans of Queer Eye probably weren’t at all calm when the Fab Five appeared. This was not your average tea party and we’re jealous we couldn’t join.

And the music video just keeps going and escalates to overwhelming heights as most Taylor Swift videos do. There’s a pageant, a drag queen dressed up as Ariana Grande, and oh yes, we need another cocktail.

Oh hey, Ryan Reynolds. Nice painting. How’s Blake?

And of course, the burger-and-fries hug. Is it a meme yet? Give it a minute.

What is the best part of this video? The fact that it’s going to get thousands upon thousands of signatures to Taylor’s Change.org petition to support the Equality Act. The petition calls for the protection of everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community from discrimination in their workplaces, homes, schools, and more.

At the time of writing this article, over 200,000 signatures have been collected. And the video has only been up for three hours.

You’re a true queen, Taylor.

You could argue that the trailer bursting into flames is The Moment To Remember in this video (what is her obsession with setting things on fire?), but there’s also the tea party, the drag queens, and the food fight, the call to action … oh, forget it. Every second of this video is golden. The only letdown is that it wasn’t five hours long.
