ABBY doesn’t like wearing ‘boring’ clothes. The 18-year-old describes her look as ‘2000s emo scene’ style and loves a ‘cute but creepy’ aesthetic. Abby enjoys mixing up her looks with different contact lenses, accessories and styling her striking blue hair. She said music has had a huge influence on her look and is a fan of metalcore and deathcore. But today, Abby’s swapping genres for pop and country. Intrigued to know what she will look like and how she will feel dressed in a different style, she is being transformed into Taylor Swift. Will Abby become a Swiftie anytime soon?

00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 I would describe my style as cute but creepy.
00:05 When I go out like this, people think
00:07 I'm dressed up for Halloween.
00:09 I'm like, no, I just--
00:10 this is just how I look all year round.
00:13 This one, that looks like a vial of blood.
00:15 It's not real.
00:16 It's fake.
00:17 But I think I like the shock factor of people
00:19 maybe thinking that it's real.
00:21 Today, I'm going from seeing girl to new era Taylor Swift.
00:25 I'm going to be revealing my look today
00:27 to my friends Spencer and Kaylee.
00:29 And I think they're going to be shocked.
00:31 [LAUGHTER]
00:33 Do you like it?
00:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:40 I'll show you some of my favorite clothes.
00:46 So this is probably one of my favorite shirts.
00:50 I just love the color.
00:51 I love that it matches my hair.
00:53 And I love stripes, of course.
00:58 My name is Abby, and I'm 18.
01:00 If I had to describe my look in a couple words,
01:02 I'd say it's cute but creepy.
01:04 I don't like to wear boring clothes.
01:06 This is one of my favorite dresses.
01:08 I love black and red together.
01:10 This has spikes on the straps.
01:12 It has ribbons on the sides, so you can tie up the sides.
01:15 I would describe my style as 2000s emo scene
01:22 with neon colors, but with also lots of black,
01:25 lots of accessories, bright hair, piercings,
01:29 and dark makeup, lots of jewelry.
01:32 Here's my necklaces.
01:34 I love the strange and unusual stuff.
01:37 This one's just like a little mini rib cage.
01:40 This one that looks like a vial of blood.
01:42 It's not real.
01:43 It's fake.
01:44 But I think I like the shock factor.
01:46 People may be thinking that it's real.
01:49 These are most of my chokers.
01:51 This one's really cute.
01:52 It has a heart on it.
01:53 Like I said, cute but creepy.
01:55 It's still feminine, but it could also stab someone.
01:59 I started dressing this way, I think, when I found the music.
02:06 I was just immediately drawn to it.
02:09 I got my guitar for my 13th birthday.
02:11 So I started taking lessons, and it just went on from there.
02:17 I mostly listen to metalcore, deathcore, and post-hardcore.
02:21 Today, I'm going from seeing girl to new era Taylor Swift.
02:26 I would describe Taylor Swift's style as kind of country-ish,
02:29 but also kind of glam and preppy at the same time.
02:34 I'm feeling nervous about this transformation.
02:36 I'd say Taylor Swift is the complete opposite of my look.
02:40 Ooh.
02:49 Natural colored.
02:51 This will definitely be interesting.
02:54 This color, ooh.
02:56 It's very plain.
02:58 Super plain.
02:59 I don't love that.
03:02 Okay, I think these are probably my least favorite thing
03:05 out of everything.
03:06 The other stuff is okay, but this --
03:09 It's definitely giving Taylor Swift.
03:10 That's for sure.
03:12 I'm definitely still nervous, but I am also excited.
03:16 Even though I don't love the clothes,
03:17 I'm still very curious to see what it looks like on me.
03:21 Looking back at old pictures where I had normal hair
03:24 and no piercings, I just don't see myself in that.
03:28 I look completely different,
03:30 and I'm curious to see what I look like today like that.
03:33 [ Knock on door ]
03:35 [ Knock on door ]
03:39 -Hi. -Hi. How are you?
03:40 -Good. It's nice to meet you.
03:41 -Yes, to meet you, too. I'm so excited.
03:44 I would describe Taylor Swift's hair and makeup
03:46 as Hollywood glam, very classic.
03:50 -My friends love my look.
03:51 I have a lot of friends that also dress similar ways.
03:54 And my family --
03:55 My family likes my look except for the piercings, I guess.
03:59 It feels so weird without my lip piercings.
04:01 -Yeah, I bet.
04:03 -I wear different colored contacts,
04:05 sometimes one of each.
04:07 I like to wear unnatural colors like red, green, purple.
04:11 I love contacts that are white with, like, a black dot.
04:14 Those are my favorites 'cause they're probably the creepiest.
04:19 When I go out like this,
04:20 people think I'm dressed up for Halloween.
04:23 I'm like, "No, I just --
04:24 This is just how I look all year round."
04:27 -I'm super excited.
04:28 I love the idea of her being able to not know what's going on
04:32 and all of a sudden see a brand-new way of doing it.
04:36 In order to create this look,
04:38 I am making a nice neutral base for the eyelid,
04:42 and then we're putting the focus on the eyeliner
04:45 being more of a winged cat-eye eyeliner look.
04:49 -I feel weird.
04:56 I honestly don't think I'll like the look
04:58 because I'm so used to how I usually look, but we'll see.
05:03 -Okay, so are you ready to see the reveal?
05:08 -Yeah, I think so.
05:10 -Oh, my God.
05:12 -I -- That's crazy.
05:15 -What do you think?
05:17 -I look completely different.
05:19 Like, I was not expecting me to look like this
05:23 in regular makeup.
05:24 I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
05:26 I like the makeup except for the lip,
05:29 maybe 'cause it's so bright.
05:31 The skirt is not my color.
05:34 I like the slit, but it's not my color.
05:38 It's not my favorite style.
05:41 I just don't -- I don't like the shoes.
05:43 -Her original style versus this one, to me,
05:46 is just two completely different styles.
05:48 I think that she looks amazing in both
05:51 and can really pull off either one,
05:53 but they are so different,
05:55 so it's really a matter of preference.
05:57 -Overall, I don't really like it,
05:59 but I don't hate it as much as I thought I would.
06:02 I think it's very pretty, and it's very comfortable.
06:05 I love how comfortable it is,
06:07 but I just don't really feel myself.
06:10 -I'm going to be revealing my look today
06:12 to my friends Spencer and Kaylee,
06:14 and I think they're gonna be shocked.
06:16 -I'd definitely describe Abby's style as unique,
06:18 very different.
06:19 I love her hair.
06:20 Her hair is always just on point,
06:23 very blue, very vibrant.
06:24 The opposite of her style would be...
06:27 -None attire. -Yeah, none attire.
06:30 -Like a librarian, maybe. -Yeah, a librarian.
06:34 Maybe somebody who goes to church every Sunday.
06:37 That's the opposite of Abby.
06:40 A little nervous, but yeah.
06:41 -I'm ready to be Abby for sure.
06:43 -Oh!
06:44 [ Both laugh ]
06:48 -Okay.
06:51 -You look like Sam from iCarly.
06:55 -It's very different. -Honestly, yeah.
06:56 Do you like it? -Yeah.
06:58 -You do? -I do.
07:00 -Great. I don't know how to feel.
07:02 -You look super fancy, like you're ready to go out
07:05 to, like, a ballet.
07:09 -I like the hair. I don't know.
07:10 It's very -- It's the opposite of what your hair is,
07:14 but it looks pretty.
07:16 -Like, I don't hate it, but I don't love it, you know?
07:19 -Yeah. -That's how I'm feeling right now.
07:21 I definitely miss the old Abby outfits.
07:24 I think that suits you better.
07:27 Definitely think you should stick with the old look,
07:30 but this isn't bad.
07:32 -Yeah, maybe for job interviews,
07:34 this look would be the one for sure.
07:39 -I'm excited to go back to my old style, I think.
07:43 What I've learned from this experience
07:44 is to just try more things, experiment more,
07:48 and if I don't like it, it's okay.
07:50 I got nothing to lose.
07:52 I don't think I'll be becoming a Swiftie anytime soon.
07:55 It's just not really my thing.
