<\/div>\n

Taylor Swift<\/a> fooled nearly everyone in her latest music video<\/a> (and directorial debut), \u201cThe Man,\u201d<\/a> in which she dressed up as her own male alter ego \u201cTyler Swift\u201d to demonstrate toxic masculinity in the workplace.<\/p>\n

It was quite an impressive drag persona, so much so that it was hard to tell at times whether it really was Swift under all that facial hair.<\/p>\n

Since \u201cThe Man\u201d video came out, Swift herself, as well as the video\u2019s makeup artist, Bill Corso, have shed some light on how the hell this transformation happened. In an Instagram post, Corso showed time-lapse photos of Swift\u2019s transformation into The Man and thanked his prosthetics and \u201cmuscle suit\u201d team \u2014 totaling at least six people \u2014 for their hard work on the project. In addition to the muscle suit, Swift had to wear eyebrow wigs and facial sculptures to achieve the full look. The entire process took four to six hours every day of the shoot.<\/p>\n

#taylorswift is the MAN. With a little help from me and some very talented friends. Many thanks to Andrew Clement and his team @cce_inc ( Brad, Lesley, etc..) for creating the prosthetics and muscle suit (Fabricators, Nick Bauman, Alex Dill-Lim and Rob Seal) built on my designs while I was away finishing up another job. Mario @monstermania2017 and Richie Alonzo did a beautiful job on sculptures, Cristian Tinsley @tinsleymua prepped the beard for me, Sasha @sasha_camacho did the eyebrows and Fr\u00ed\u00f0a Arad\u00f3ttir took care of the wig for me. Richie and Andy joined me for application, Makie Dawson for your great assist and I must say, Ms Swift was the very best. Brilliant model, Director and of course performer \ud83d\ude09 Speaking of performances, don\u2019t miss my quick cameo during Old Man\u2019s wedding \u263a\ufe0f #theman #taylorswift #themanmusicvideo #makeup #transformation #prosthetics #art #music #musicvideo There are many more to thank so I\u2019ll update this post as I get names.<\/a><\/p>\n

In her own series of posts thanking the video team, Swift shouted out Corso and his crew for \u201cturning me into a zombie \u2026 but convincing a significant amount of people I was a dude is our crowning achievement.\u201d She also noted that she worked with movement coaches Stephen Galloway and Spenser Theberg, who taught her how to walk, slouch, and smoke like her bro character.<\/p>\n
