In an adorable turn of events, a NICU nurse custom made a Halloween costume for a premature baby that resembled Taylor Swift’s bodysuit from the Eras tour. Netizens applauded the Ohio nurse for putting in the effort.
Moreover, most agreed that NICU staff members are some of the best people out there. The outfit was everything the Swiftie mom could have asked for. It is also an excellent costume idea for Halloween if you have a newborn baby.
Swiftie mom says the baby’s costume looked like ‘Lover’ bodysuit
Emily VandeRydt, a content creator from Columbus, Ohio, did not expect her Swiftie desires to be fulfilled while her bundle of joy was recuperating in the NICU. On September 7, she was diagnosed with preeclampsia, due to which her daughter Willa was born 10 weeks early. This meant the newborn would have to make a trip to the neonatal intensive care unit. According to PEOPLE, Willa was in the NICU at Ohio State’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital for about six weeks.
During that time, VandeRydt met nurse Nickie, who eventually became the little one’s primary nurse. She quickly picked up that the content creator was a Swiftie because of her “Fearless” Little Words project bracelet. The new mom told the outlet that Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” became her go-to song to navigate Willa’s difficult NICU journey.
As Halloween got closer, Nickie and a fellow nurse, Sam, wanted to do something special to welcome the spooky season. This is when they came up with the idea of creating a Taylor Swift-inspired Halloween costume for the newborn baby. The outfit was made out of felt. Interestingly, this is a common practice among NICU nurses when the Halloween season is nigh.
October 12 was the day VandeRydt was pleasantly surprised by the hospital staff. She walked in to see a stunning costume for the infant. The new mother was shocked at the outfit’s intricacy, as it used felt pipe cleaners, beads, and sequins to add the wow factor.
Moreover, the baby’s Halloween costume closely resembled Taylor Swift’s fit for the “Lover” set during her Eras Tour. The costume was complete with the cutest pair of silver boots, which VandeRydt enjoyed putting on her daughter.
