This Fan’s DIY Gift to Taylor Swift Is Amazing

This Fan’s DIY Gift to Taylor Swift Is Amazing

It’s been a big week for Taylor Swift as far as gifts go. Just the other day, Kanye West sent the singer an impressive arrangement of hundreds of white flowers, and now a fan has knitted her a sweater you’ll want to run out and make yourself.


An ecstatic Taylor gave the sweater two thumbs up in a photo she posted via Instagram aboard her jet. The sweater looks pretty darn cozy, so there’s no surprise she wanted to wear it during her travels. The fan behind the sweater-making certainly knows her way around a needle and yarn — the handmade number features a Polaroid of the singer (that actually looks like her) lifting her hands over her head. The sweater appears to be based on a “Shake It Off” Polaroid Taylor took for her 1989 album and even features a caption from the original photo. Talk about dedication to DIY!

“Someone knitted this sweater for me of a Polaroid of myself and gave it to my mom tonight at the show,” Taylor’s Instagram caption reads. “It has very quickly become my everything. Thank you, mysterious knitter.”

With 1.4 million likes on Taylor’s Instagram photo in about 10 hours, we have a feeling this isn’t the only Polaroid sweater we’ll be seeing around town this autumn.

What do you think about Taylor’s new sweater? Let us know in the comments.
