Antoni Porowski, co-star of the Netflix hit and Emmy-winning reality series Queer Eye, revealed to us just what it was like filming the music video that doubled as a call for equality and acceptance. Spoiler alert: Antoni says it “was a love fest,” but of course - in the ways of T-Swift-it was also super secretive. Apparently, everyone who was on set could only semi-listen to “You Need to Calm Down” through an earpiece!



“None of us even heard the song. Everything was a big secret.”



Antoni revealed that the set was so hush-hush, each person had to be basically hidden at all times-even when they headed to the bathroom.

"I went to one of the Porta-Potty areas, and I had to carry an umbrella because there were paps with helicopters trying to see who was on set,” he said.

As for the one thing he wishes that he took from the “You Need to Calm Down” set?

“There was a honey jar, and it was vintage from the ‘40s or the '50s. It was this beautiful little glass honey bear that I tried to steal but I didn’t. I kind of wish I did, but I feel like I would’ve gotten in trouble.”

Although Antoni didn’t end up taking the glass honey jar home, the Fab Five was given another gift to remember their time on Taylor’s set.
