So I’ve been sitting on these pictures for a few weeks now, but was waiting to share them. In honor of Taylor Swift’s 30th birthday today, I recreated a few scenes from her Lover music video. I have a feeling she’s going to drop a new single soon, so I’m glad I got these done before then. SHE’S 30 TODAY I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I could honestly go on and on about Taylor’s birthday, but I really don’t have the time to convey that right now. She just won artist of the decade for Billboard and at the AMAs and I am so proud of her. SO WELL DESERVED. But back to these photos: I used Photoshop for the first time on a few of these! I’m not a pro at either Photoshop or Lightroom, but hey I got it done, right? I also didn’t have to spend a ton of money on these looks because I either borrowed, thrifted, rented or already had all of these pieces. So that’s a personal accomplishment as well. More pics below!

Whether you’ve been following my blog for a while or just stumbled upon it today, you should have figured out by now how much I love Taylor Swift. Total Stan Status. Most of my KimberKopy’s are actually recreations of Taylor Swift outfits and music videos! So in order to celebrate “13 years of Taylor Swift”, I knew I had to do something from her debut album. For those that don’t know, 13 years ago today, Taylor released her first album (and 13’s are a big deal). I have to admit that I didn’t really listen to Taylor or country music when her first album came out, but after discovering her during the Fearless era, she and her music have become such a huge part of my life. For so many years I’ve treated her album releases like Christmas morning, waited eagerly by the TV to see what she was wearing to an award show, saved up money to afford a ticket to her concerts, and spent countless hours listening to her music whether I was happy, heartbroken or just needed to feel understood.

I know that Taylor doesn’t own the masters to most of her work, including her debut album and this song, but I still wanted to share this recreation 1. I am so excited for her to rerecord her albums next year and 2. Despite what has happened and how much I support Taylor, I will always be thankful that on this day 13 years ago she released her first album and changed the music industry and my life forever.

You need to calm down… you’re being too loud… I have been waiting to do these recreations since the YNTCD music video came out (which was in JUNE)! It took forever for all of these pieces to come in and I have been so busy lately I haven’t had any time to shoot new photos. So BIG thanks to Allison for taking time out of her Saturday to take these photos of me and then force me to go to Orange Theory after. Something I’m doing slightly different with these posts is adding a part called “Story Behind The Outfit” where I talk about how I got the pieces and any fun facts. Let me know if you like that in the comments!

Lover is officially out! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this album for sooooo long but also this time has flown by. It’s midnight and I’m about to listen to the whole album from iTunes and then I’m getting up at 6:30am to go to Target to get the physical copy and bonus booklets (Taylor Swift’s diaries? Yes, I’ll take ALL OF THEM). I’ll make a post of my first thoughts and ratings for the songs and post them later, but for now I wanted to share some Lover recreation posts I did and some Lover era clothing I found that is all super reasonable. Although I would gladly accept anything from Lirika Matoshi because it is literally perfect for the Lover era, I already know I’m going to throw away all my money this week solely to Taylor Swift. Also, GO LISTEN TO LOVER AND BUY THE ALBUM ON ITUNES!
