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.

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
