Taylor Swift Releases Video For Pro-LGBTQ Song, You Need To Calm Down

Pop star Taylor Swift has released a star-studded music video to support her pro-LGBTQ song You Need To Calm Down.

You Need to Calm Down was released to coincide with Pride Month which started on June 1.  – Continue reading Aaron Brophy’s feature and watch the video on the Samaritanmag website.
