Taylor Swift dropped her awesome new music video for “You Need To Calm Down” and it’s packed to the gills with LGBTQ stars, celebs and personalities.

Featured in the video are Ellen DeGeneres, Laverne Cox, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan van Ness, Bobby Berk, Tan France, Ciara, RuPaul, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and husband Justin Mikita, Billy Porter, Adam Lambert, Adam Rippon, Ryan Reynolds, Hayley Kiyoko, Todrick Hall, Chester Lockhart, Dexter Mayfield, Hannah Hart, and Katy Perry.

The song shows Taylor's "all-in" support for the LGBTQ community as the video is full of plastic wading pools, crowns for queens, bouncy beats, glitter, and queer references like GLAAD and shade.

The music video's release arrives just weeks after Swift shared an open letter to her Republican Tennessee U.S. senators calling for their support for the Equality Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

And Friday night, she surprised folks at the historic Stonewall Inn with an impromptu performance of her mega-hit "Shake It Off."

The climax of the vid is an epic trailer park food fight followed by the message:

"Let's show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally.

"Please sign my petition for Senate support of the Equality Act on Change.org.

Go, Taylor, go!
