Taylor Swift's 'You Need to Calm Down' Music Video Features a Cameo From Katy Perry

As promised, Taylor Swift delivered the music video for her latest single, "You Need to Calm Down," this morning—and it's packed with famous faces and a lot of color.

Over the weekend Swift released a list of some of her celebrity friends who appear in the video, like all the guys from Queer Eye, Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Reynolds, Pose's Billy Porter, RuPaul, and Ciara.

But one name was conspicuously left off the list: Katy Perry. That's right— Perry, dressed in her Met Gala burger costume, reunites with Taylor Swift, who's dressed as an order of fries. The two approach each other hesitantly but end up awkwardly slow-dancing the way you did back in middle school. Rumors began swirling over the weekend that Perry would appear in Swift's video, and that they kiss during their burger-fry dance. But Swift shut this down, saying, "To be an ally is to understand the difference between advocating and baiting." It turns out that the fast food concept was true—just not the kiss.

We already knew these two were back to being friends after the cookie peace offering seen 'round the world, but now it's officially official. Does this mean Swift will be making an appearance in an upcoming Perry video? We hope so.
