Taylor Swift's new video tries to smash stereotypes, but people are divided.

On Monday night, Taylor Swift released the music video for You Need to Calm Down, the newest single on her upcoming album Lover.

In the 12 hours since the video has been posted, it has been viewed over 11 million times.

The celebrity cast boasts the likes of Ellen Degeneres, Ru Paul, and the entire cast of Queer Eye. For many, including the celebrities in the video, the production is a message of solidarity with the queer community.

Moments after the video went live, Ellen DeGeneres tweeted “I’m proud of @TaylorSwift13 for making this video. I’m proud to be in it. I’m proud to be a member of this community”.

I’m proud of @TaylorSwift13 for making this video. I’m proud to be in it. I’m proud to be a member of this community. Happy #Pride. @adamlambert #YNTCDmusicvideo https://t.co/UJXRBXRtE0 pic.twitter.com/3x0OxNhNnF

While some believe Taylor Swift created the video with the best of intentions, a lot of people believe otherwise, suggesting the 29-year-old is hijacking a popularised queer movement for her own financial and cultural gain.

so can taylor swift stop using gay culture to her straight white advantage

God, @taylorswift13, you were SO. CLOSE. The enemy isn’t poor rural whites in the trailer park that YOU took over. The enemy is the people in power. The men in suits in the conference rooms and the men in robes behind the pulpit preaching and legislating hate.

Sis I am not depending on *Taylor Swift* to be the savior of queer liberation. But artists with large platforms should be more conscious of the messages they’re sending out. This was harmful to queer folx in rural communities & also just straight up poor-shamed. Not about it.

So Taylor Swift put drag queens in her new music video and it got me wondering why fading pop stars commodify queer people just to retain relevence (i.e Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry)

Even The Onion weighed in with a not so satirical headline.

Others believed the superstar was using her immense platform and influence to celebrate the queer community.

I’m grateful for megastars who responsibly use their platforms to show love to the LGBTQ community AND their money to protect our rights. Especially during this administration. We need all the allies we can get right now. Thank u @taylorswift13 ????????????

Every single person who called Taylor Swift “pro Trump” or a “secret conservative” now owes a Taylor Swift stan $50. I don’t make the rules.

Some people say Taylor Swift is using gay culture and pride month as a way to advance her career and I get how you could think that but honestly Taylor has been so much better about speaking up and I don’t think making a song about accepting people is the worst thing in the world

@taylorswift13. I want to thank you for being an Ally for the LGBT group. As a bigendered person it is still super hard for me to comeout to anyone other then my partner. It is amazing to know we have so many people on ourside in a world full of hate against us.

Regardless of where you stand, Taylor hasn’t yet commented.

She probably can’t come to the phone right now.
