Storyline

Official music video for "You Need to Calm Down" by Taylor Swift.

The video is set in a colorful trailer park. Taylor Swift awakens in her trailer, with an embroidery containing the Cher quote "Mom, I am a Rich Man" hanging on a wall. Swift throws her phone onto her bed, which then gives off sparks and starts a fire in the trailer. She nonchalantly walks to a pool, ignoring her burning trailer. The camera then switches to other residents in the trailer park and their activities, including Mayfield dancing, Hart weightlifting a boombox and Cox watering her yard of plastic flamingos and greeting Lockhart, who promptly faints. The music video was directed by Swift and Drew Kirsch, and executive produced by Swift and Todrick Hall.
