Pop superstar Taylor Swift is currently putting the finishing touches on her massively successful The Eras Tour, which features a conceptual portrayal of all of her studio albums. This inspired one artist to create a video that shows Swift through different eras in human history.
In a clip shared on Instagram by Canadian digital creator Sirio Berati, Swift makes a journey from prehistoric times to the future. Using artificial intelligence (AI) tools, Berati imagines the “Shake It Off” signer as a cavewoman from 20,000 BC, resident of Ancient Greece in 500 BC, royalty in the 13th century, hippie enthusiast in the 1970s, and cyborg in 2231.
Switf’s journey through eras generated a lot of attention on social media. The video was viewed 4.3 million views and 170K likes on Instagram alone, while Berati estimates it got tens of millions of views across all social media platforms.
In order to create the viral clip, Berati used the AI chatbot ChatGPT to come up with prompts before entering them into ComfyUI, an open-source and free AI tool used to generate images and videos.
Berati is a big AI enthusiast, believing it helps creators to utilize their creativity in the best way possible.
“Of course, there’s controversy around it like everything with AI,” Berati told Daily Mail. “However, I think that AI is a great tool that empowers creators to push their limits.”
