Influencer Fun: Recreating Taylor Swift Album Covers
If you think suburban life is all about backyard BBQs and PTA meetings, think again. Meet Charlie Bird and Ryan Clifford, the dynamic duo who are turning suburban living on its head by recreating every Taylor Swift album cover. Yes, you heard that right! From “Taylor Swift” to “The Tortured Poets Department,” these two husbands are taking the internet by storm with their hilarious and heartwarming project.
Swiftie Devotion: A Love Story
Charlie Bird, the diehard Swiftie of the pair, admits that Taylor Swift’s music has been a constant companion throughout his life. “The biggest things in my life are tied to her music in one way or another,” Bird shares. As Swift evolved as an artist, Bird found himself evolving alongside her, using her songs to navigate the ups and downs of growing up, moving away from home, and embracing new experiences.
The spark for their album cover project ignited during Halloween when Clifford donned a scaly “Reputation” bodysuit and Bird transformed into Taylor’s beau, Travis Kelce. “My followers were like, ‘You married your Taylor,'” Bird chuckles. And just like that, the idea to recreate Swift’s iconic album covers was born.
Behind the Scenes: Capturing the Magic
The Instagram challenge quickly gained traction, propelling Bird and Clifford into the spotlight as they meticulously recreated each album cover. Armed with a ring light, an iPhone, and a whole lot of creativity, the duo embarked on a journey to pay homage to Swift’s artistry.
From sourcing costumes on Amazon to styling hair to perfection, each photo shoot is a labor of love that can take up to eight hours to complete. “The hardest part is getting the perfect shot,” Bird admits. As Clifford strikes poses, Bird can’t help but marvel at Swift’s modeling skills. “This process has really helped me appreciate how good of a model Taylor Swift is,” Bird laughs. “I mean, Ryan, whatever you’re doing doesn’t look like her at all!”
Excited for the Future: The “Tortured Poets Department” Finale
As they approach the grand finale of their project with “The Tortured Poets Department,” Bird and Clifford are brimming with excitement. The last recreation will feature Swift lounging on a bed, and Bird is already looking forward to dressing Clifford in the singer’s signature outfit. “I’m so excited to put him in that outfit,” Bird exclaims. “She’s on the bed, and I just think it’s so funny.”
For these suburban legends, the journey doesn’t end with the album covers. They eagerly await Swift’s upcoming album, ready to continue their fun and creative tribute to the pop sensation.
