Ariana Grande may be just a little bit salty that she wasnt featured in Taylor Swifts You Need To Calm Down music video – but she loves it anyway.

Taylor, 29, managed to track down half of Hollywood to make cameos in the fun visuals for her new single, including Ryan Reynolds, Laverne Cox, Ciara, Bobby Berk and even her former pop rival Katy Perry.

But one face that was missing from the line-up was Ariana, who jokingly made sure to call the singer out on the fact.

In an Instagram Story, the Thank U, Next singer said: ty for having me in your video I was amazing @taylorswift [sic].

Ooh, the not-so-subtle shade.

Ari, 25, went onto support her friend, Tatianna, who actually did make an appearance in the music video.

The popstar added: Jk @tatiannagram you f*****g killed it, beauty love u & am honored.

Taylor, congrats on YNTCD I f*****g love it and the message sooooooo much.

You Need To Calm Down is supportive of the LGBTQ community and features Ciara marrying gay couple, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita.

However, the Body Party singer received backlash from an anti-gay troll who made a slew of negative remarks including this is wrong.

Taylor has been particularly supportive of the Equality Act in recent weeks and even attended the Stonewall Inn, the historic LGBT landmark in New York City to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.

The You Need To Calm Down video also saw Taylor bury her feud with former frenemy Katy.
