Taylor Swift Faces Backlash For Stealing Ideas From Beyoncé In "You Need To Calm Down" Music Video

Taylor Swift has received some heat from Twitter users after they noticed the similarities between her star-studded You Need To Calm Down music video with Beyoncé’s Party music video in 2011.

Some Twitter users started posting side-to-side photos implying that the country-turned-pop singer stole the ideas from Queen Bey’s 2011 music video especially scenes in a pool party at a trailer park.

Another pointed out that the outfits worn by both artists in a certain scene from these two videos are similar. In Party music video, Queen Bey can be seen donning a black bathing suit and a yellow fur coat while Taylor Swift is wearing a pink bikini and a fur coat in her video.

Finally, one scene that Twitter users have been comparing is when Beyoncé is dressed in a green fur vest and paired it with a headband and pink lipstick while seated on a beach chair. Meanwhile, Taylor sits on a beach chair and dons a yellow one-piece with sunglasses and coral lipstick.

This is not the first time Taylor Swift has been criticized for “ripping off” Beyoncé. In May, Taylor was called out after she used a marching band with pastel-colored outfits, backup dancers and fireworks for the performance of her single ME! at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.

Beyhive took notice and claimed that it was similar to Beyoncé’s epic Coachella performance in 2018.
