Taylor Swift Reveals She Did Her Own Hair, Makeup and Styling for the Folklore Album Cover

The pop star opened up to fans about creating the Grammy-winning record during the COVID-19 lockdown on the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift pretty much pulled off Folklore as a one-woman show, or at least that was the case when it came to styling herself for the album cover. 

The hitmaker, 34, reflected on how her eighth studio album came together during the COVID-19 pandemic during her second Eras Tour show in Hamburg, Germany on July 24.

While setting up for her Folklore set on stage during the concert, which coincided with the four-year anniversary of the record, Swift revealed she did her own hair, makeup and styling for the album shoot. 

That’s right. Those cottage-core looks and intricate plaited space buns were the pop star’s doing. 

“You can’t have hair and makeup. You can’t have wardrobe. You just have to do it yourself,” said Swift in a fan-captured video shared to TikTok. 

“So, I called my friend who has some woods behind her house and was like ‘Can I take some pictures in your forest.’ She said yes. I ordered all these night gowns online and brought them and did my own hair and makeup and just was like, ‘I guess I’ll braid it, I don’t know.'”
