Roy Raz directs a spectacular and empowering video for Todrick Hall's Queen.&nbsp;Packed full of colourful, effervescent vignettes demonstrating the artist's manifest destiny, the video goes from birth, through school days, and then full transformation to Queen status at a church service -&nbsp;&nbsp;and how Hall&nbsp;embraces this status throughout his adult life.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]It's a&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;production of tremendous style, with&nbsp;breathtaking choreography, slick visual effects and&nbsp; mesmerising camerawork, and a career-defining performance from Hall.Shot in Ukraine, the video - made through&nbsp;2332 Films - boasts&nbsp;the kind of production value that&nbsp;Kyiv and its talented crew and cast are celebrated for, and doubles as a powerful statement for freedom and peace.[imgtoken data:2]"Queen is about being who you were born to be, freed for any fears -&nbsp;Queen is all about Freedom," says Raz.&nbsp;"This music video was shot in Ukraine three&nbsp;weeks before the war started with the most amazing people and crew. Our hearts goes out to the Ukrainian people and to 2332 Productions in Kyiv, which became a second home for me through the years. We Stand With Ukraine."

Todrick Hall 'Queen' by Roy Raz

Todrick Hall - Queen (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.
