Taylor Swift did her own makeup for her ‘cardigan’ music video.
The ‘Lover’ singer released a brand new album, ‘folklore’, in lockdown and for the lead single, Taylor crafted her own video, including doing her own styling, hair and makeup to make it work.
Sharing a picture from the video, she wrote: “A million thank you’s to my brilliant, bad ass video team – cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, executive producer Rebecca Skinner, AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne, editor Chancler Haynes, special effects wizards David Lebensfeld & Grant Miller, and set designer Ethan Tobman.
The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other, and I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling (sic)”
Taylor announced the news she is set to release a “surprise” new album last week, with the tracks coming out last Thursday.
The 30-year-old singer wrote on Twitter at the time:
“Tonight at midnight I’ll be releasing my 8th studio album, folklore; an entire brand new album of songs I’ve poured all of my whims, dreams, fears, and musings into.”

Taylor explained via Instagram that she hadn’t actually planned to release her new album at this time. But recent events have reminded her that “nothing is guaranteed” in life.
She wrote on the photo-sharing platform: “Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the ‘perfect’ time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed. My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with. Love you guys so much “
