Taylor Swift has released a behind-the-scenes of her “You Need to Calm Down” video shoot.
The video shows Taylor on her first day of shooting, as she co-directs a scene with drag queen pop star look-alikes.
Taylor also surprised her friend Todrick Hall by giving him a co-executive producer credit on the video. “So my friend Todrick is one of those people who is very generous with his effort and time and he would never ask for credit when he deserves it,” she explains while walking to his trailer.
“He has put so much into this video, whether it was casting or ideas or fashion, logistics – he’s basically booked half this video – so I’m going to ask him to be co-executive producer of the video in this card.”
After presenting him with a card, which gave him the option to check off “Girl, yes” or “Honey, no,” Todrick happily accepted. “I never got to go to prom, but if there was anything that was close to a prom-posal, it was what I just experienced,” he said. “… Anyway, thank you, Taylor. This is the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done. You really always out-do yourself as a friend, and I’m Team Taylor for life.”
