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

But one talented artist has given the Eras Tour a whole new meaning.

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

His stunning video sees Swift transform from a prehistoric cavewoman into a futuristic cyborg.

Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Berati said: ‘People are loving it. It’s had over 10 million views on social media.’

As we jump years into the future, we see Swift transform into a cyborg

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

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

As the clock ticks on, we see the star transform into all sorts of guises, from a glamorous Greek lady to a medieval woman and even a 1920s flapper.

In the year 2024, Swift looks like a pop star again, but in the future we see her with virtual reality (VR) glasses.

Finally, if we look ahead decades, we see Swift transform into a cyborg.

Mr. Berati created the video using the open-source AI tool comfyui and ChatGPT.

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

‘That’s why I use a custom GPT on ChatGPT that allows me to make my prompts concise and easy to understand.’

So far, the video has received over 168,000 likes on Instagram, with hundreds of excited fans commenting on the comments.

“She is always beautiful no matter the situation or the era,” one viewer wrote.

Another added: ‘Let’s face it, she looks good in any era.’

And someone joked: ‘For the first time, I don’t find an AI video scary.’

‘Of course there is controversy about it, as with anything involving AI,’ he told MailOnline.

“However, I think AI is a great tool that allows creators to push the boundaries.”

If you like Swift’s video, you’ll be happy to hear that Mr. Berati has more videos planned.

“I have been commissioned to create some album covers, short promotional cinematic clips and music videos for well-known singers,” he added.
