Artist uses AI to imagine Taylor Swift in eras throughout history – from a prehistoric cavewoman to a futuristic cyborg


Whether it’s Lover, The Tortured Poets Department, or 1989, every Taylor Swift fan has their favourite era. 

But one skilled artist has brought a whole new meaning to the Eras Tour. 

Sirio Berati, a digital creator from Canada, has used artificial intelligence (AI) to imagine what Swift would have looked like in eras throughout history. 

His stunning video sees Swift morphing from a prehistoric cavewoman all the way through to a futuristic cyborg.

Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Berati said: ‘People are loving it. It has over 10m views through social media.’

The video begins with Swift as a cavewoman in the year 20,000 BC

The video begins with Swift as a cavewoman in the year 20,000 BC. 

As the clock ticks forward, we see the star transform into everything from a glamorous Grecian lady to a woman in the Middle Ages, and even a 1920s flapper. 

In the year 2024, Swift resumes her usual pop star look, before we move into the future and see her sporting a virtual reality (VR) headset.

‘The trick is to prompt the transitions between frames,’ he explained to MailOnline. 

‘For that I use a custom GPT on ChatGPT that helps me with making my prompts concise and easily understandable.’

So far, the video has raked in over 168,000 likes on Instagram, with hundreds of delighted fans flocking to the comments. 

‘She is always beautiful no matter what and whatever the era,’ one viewer wrote. 

Another added: ‘she looks good in every era lets be honest.’

And one joked: ‘For the first time one of these ai videos is not scary to me.’

Mr Berati hopes his creation will highlight the endless possibilities when it comes to using AI. 

‘Of course there’s controversy around it like everything with AI,’ he told MailOnline. 

‘However I think that AI is a great tool that empowers creators to push their limits.’

If you like the video of Swift, you’ll be happy to hear that Mr Berati has several other videos in the pipeline. 

‘I am being commissioned to create a few cover artworks, short promotional cinematic reels and music videos for renowned singers,’ he added.
