Sam Smith and Calvin Harris Feel the Ball Culture Fantasy in New “Promises” Music Video

Tens, tens, tens across the board!

Calvin Harris' latest entry for shoulda-been-song-of-the-summer, "Promises," featuring Sam Smith, now has a video—and get ready to walk the runway because it is a love letter to LGBTQ ball culture.

The Emil Nava-directed video begins with dancers talking about their love for vogueing, and the ball scene, with one of them noting: “It’s fantasy. One hundred percent fantasy.”

"Growing up in the Bronx you have to carry this tough skin. Finding Vogue, it allowed me to express myself in a way that I couldn’t express myself anywhere else," adds another dancer.

The video then features Smith, and various dancers from the ball scene, including Kevin Stea who you might recognize from dancing in Madonna's Blond Ambition tour, showing off their moves in the club and on the runway.
