How to copy a dictionary and only edit the copy

Can someone please explain this to me? This doesn’t make any sense to me.

I copy a dictionary into another and edit the second and both are changed. Why is this happening?

>>> dict1 = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
>>> dict2 = dict1
>>> dict2
{'key2': 'value2', 'key1': 'value1'}
>>> dict2["key2"] = "WHY?!"
>>> dict1
{'key2': 'WHY?!', 'key1': 'value1'}
