  • Taylor Swift was dancing and lip-syncing to her own music this weekend.

  • Everyone dubbed it Drunk Taylor, and it’s safe to say her fans are obsessed with the video.


Taylor Swift is out here having the biggest year of her life. She’s dropping a new album, she just now realized she can be an ally for communities she’s not part of (better late than never), she was on the cover of Vogue’s September issue, she and Katy Perry finally made up, and she rolled up to the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday looking amazing despite being hungover and giving birth to the best video on the internet the night before.

In case ya haven’t heard or were busy being on the same level as Tay Tay all weekend, Taylor was out here living her best life and singing and dancing to her own song, “You Need to Calm Down.” Nobody knows if Taylor was sipping on White Claws all night, but the video was dubbed Drunk Taylor because she was clearly on another level with her moves.

Please, get your life by watching this video on repeat:

I mean, the fake shot-taking, the hair flipping, the shimmying, the pure talent that was on display!! This video was truly all her fans needed to forget about that horrifying Cats trailer. (I am still not—and will never be—over it, but this helped a little.)

There’s also this clip, which speaks for itself.

Taylor said this video was taken at a party with some of the people who helped make the “ME!” and “YNTCD” videos. She even shared more photos from the night while approving of the Drunk Taylor jokes.

Alrighty, now let’s keep this energy going for the VMAs, Taylor! I need more reaction GIFs!
