I asked how that experience had been for GLAAD, and Jeremy looked me right in the eyes and said, 'AMAZING.' Taylor made a big donation just a few weeks ago in anticipation of “Calm Down,” and in the wake of the song’s lyric video, $13 donations to the non-profit-13 being Taylor Swift’s favorite number- have come pouring in.Īs I said in my immediate assessment of the song, this is great and I am truly, truly grateful. (Think Cabot Cove from Murder, She Wrote, except everyone is Angela Lansbury.) On Saturday, the day after Taylor Swift released “You Need To Calm Down,” I bumped into Jeremy Blacklow, the Director of Entertainment Media at GLAAD, the media-monitoring organization she name-checks in the song. I’ve spent the last weekend in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the gayest, most charming little Cape Cod beach town in the world.
