The full video is scheduled to drop later today (17 June) and is all about celebrating and supporting the LGBT+ community and GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).

'You Need To Calm Down', the release of which coincided with Trump's birthday, includes lyrics such as "You are somebody that we don't know / But you're comin' at my friends like a missile / Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD) / Sunshine on the street at the parade / But you would rather be in the dark ages / Makin' that sign must've taken all night."

It is part of her upcoming studio album, Lover, which is schedule to be released worldwide on 23 August, 2019.
