Drew Kirsch directs a playful performance promo for Charlie Puth and Jung Kook of BTS.&nbsp;Now that Korean boyband sensation&nbsp;BTS have gone on hiatus, each of the members are busy working on their own projects, and Jung Kook has partnered with Charlie Puth for one of the first individual releases.&nbsp;Featuring mischevious performances and a series of abstract vignettes, the concept is an explosion of colour and absurdism, and whilst the scenes are interconnected on a surface level, there is not a clear narrative at play here - and that is one of the things that makes it so absorbing.&nbsp;Taking a page out of the K-Pop video playbook, Kirsch has focused&nbsp;on packing as many spectacular visuals as possible into the two and a half minute runtime, creating a frenetic yet captivating project that feels refreshing and unique.&nbsp;

Charlie Puth 'Left And Right' (ft Jung Kook of BTS) by Drew Kirsch

Charlie Puth - Left And Right (feat. Jung Kook of BTS) [Official Video]

Dashing the hopes of alt-righters everywhere that she's their secret queen, Taylor nails her colours to the mast and embraces the LGBTQ community, in the video for You Need To Calm Down.&nbsp;It's a cameo-packed fantasy trailer-park world, with appearances by Laverne Cox, the “fab five” from Queer Eye, Billy Porter, Adam Rippon, some drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race&nbsp;(including a Taylor lookalike) and RuPaul himself. And then there's the appearance of Katy Perry, as a burger to Taylor's fries - an&nbsp;orchestrated demonstration that their, er, 'beef' is now a thing of the past.&nbsp;Maccie Ds&nbsp;must be absolutely delighted.There's also the characterisation&nbsp;of a homophobic demonstrators as a rabble of toothless rednecks - which is fun, but is it helpful? At least one commentator <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/taylor-swift-you-need-to-calm-down-pride-lgbt-song-video-a8964286.html">thinks otherwise</a>.&nbsp;This is also the Taylor's first video where she claims a co-directing credit - together with Drew Kirsch, who's super-colourful style has graced videos for the likes of Jai Wolf, John Legend, Valentino Khan and others.
