Basically, the entire world is watching and re-watching Taylor Swift‘s new music video for “You Need To Calm Down” (we are going on 20 times, tbh).

Tay also leads off with a scene preparing a drink in her trailer, kind of like when Beyoncé fried up some food in HER trailer at the start of the video. It seems like the pop icon also drew some style inspo from Queen Bey, including the statement fur coat look with a ’60s pinup hair-do.

One Twitter user even want as far as calling Taylor’s rendition of the familiar theme the “Walmart/Kidz Bop” version…

Seems a bit harsh, but the comparisons are undeniable!

All we can hope for now is a truce between the Swifies and the BeyHive for the sake of #PRIDE month!
