This. Is. Beautiful.
On Thursday, Todrick Hall dropped his visual album Straight Outta Oz on YouTube, and it’s an absolutely incredible, star-studded piece of art.

The Wizard Of Oz parody tells the story of the 31-year-old’s life, including his childhood, coming to terms with his sexual identity, falling in love, moving to El Lay Oz Angeles, struggling with the entertainment industry, and his relationship with his family.
The hour-long video also examines controversies and social injustices including the Black Lives Matter movement, police brutality, gun violence, and more.
It even includes touching tributes to Christina Grimmie, Trayvon Martin, and the Orlando shooting victims.
The amazing performer took to Twitter after releasing the visual, revealing that he did this to creatively express the pain he’s felt over the past year, writing:
This year has been very rough for me… and I wanted to turn it into art…. Straight Outta Oz https://t.co/7eNOMAs3kK

The moving video also features internet stars Pentatonix, Grace Helbig, and GloZell.
