The video is certainly star studded and features cameos from the likes of Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora.
Schumer’s schedule is going to be pretty busy for the next year. She’s currently doing promotional rounds for Trainwreck, a film in which she stars and penned the script for. The film, directed by Judd Apatow (This Is 40), also stars Tilda Swinton and Bill Hader.
