On June 17th Taylor Swift blessed us with her latest music video, the aptly titled ‘You Need To Calm Down.’

#YNTCD is the second single from Taylor’s just-announced seventh studio album, Lover. (Check out our post on Lover‘s debut single, ME! feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco, for more pastel-era-Taylor style inspiration!)

UPDATE 2020: Be sure to see our guide to Taylor’s Folklore era, too!

This week I’m back with another #TS7 post inspired by You Need To Calm Down‘s star-studded music video.

From Hollywood Heavyweight Ryan Reynolds to YouTube star Hannah Hart, this MV is positively exploding with celeb cameos. We never knew that we needed Katy Perry‘s infamous burger costume to make its triumphant return until we watched her publicly reconcile with a French-fry clad Taylor Swift. A happy meal indeed!

However, the most important aspect of YNTCD’s music video is most definitely its pro-LGBTQ+ message. Throughout the video, Taylor features various queer icons, ending the video with a message encouraging her fans to sign her petition in support of the Equality Act.

So, without further ado, let’s get into the fashion #goals being served in this colorful and quirky music video.

You Need To Calm Down‘s opening scene sees Taylor chilling in her bougie trailer-park boudoire, surrounded by complementary pastel shades of pink and blue. She throws shade at online trolls and fixes herself a cotton-candy smoothie, adding to the sugary-sweet aesthetic of this MV.

To make Tay’s luxurious sleepwear more wearable, I decided to convert the outfit into a beach look. This red kimono and peach bikini combination echoes the color contrast in Taylor’s silk robe. To complete the look, I added some pink stilettos and Taylor’s signature Lover merchandise from the MV.
