In an Instagram post on Friday, July 24, the singer-songwriter shared a still photo from her “Cardigan” music video, revealing that while shooting Folklore’s first single the whole team took very safe precautions to protect against COVID-19. This included the 30-year-old doing her own hair, makeup and styling.

“The entire shoot was overseen by a medical inspector, everyone wore masks, stayed away from each other,” she wrote in the accompanying caption. “And I even did my own hair, makeup, and styling.”

Though her look isn’t as glamorous as her typical red carpet appearance, the fresh-faced, laid-back, no-makeup makeup finish seen in the video is totally on-point. As for the styling, she keeps it equally as pared down in a simple loose-fitting nightgown-style white dress. However, the cream cable knit sweater that she puts on at the end has already become a viral sensation.

While you can shop a replica of the piece on her website store.taylorswift.com for $49, the original is in the hands of someone very special.

Peak life.”
