New York lawyer-turned-chef recreates Taylor Swift albums using homemade pasta
Danny Freeman, 37, created ravioli pasta to resemble all 10 of Taylor Swift's albums. The chef and content creator told Fox News Digital that he's a big fan of the pop star. The creation video has over 6.3 million Instagram views.
It’s no surprise that Swifties around the world have tried to express and celebrate their love for Taylor Swift in unique ways.
Some have created Swift-themed cakes, others have designed album-inspired clothing and some have even created original ice cream flavors after the pop star.
One chef, however, combined his love of cooking with his love for the 34-year-old star by creating pasta that resembles Swift’s 10 award-nominated albums.

Danny Freeman is a 37-year-old from Beacon, New York, who practiced law for years before leaning into his cooking skills and posting content online beginning three years ago.
Freeman said he’s a "big fan" of Swift — but unfortunately he didn’t make it to a U.S. stop on the Eras Tour in 2023.

He used his craft and his skills with pasta to "duplicate" Swift’s 10 albums.

The process took tons of planning — he estimates that he spent eight hours on the project over several weeks — but turned into something he’s very proud of, he told Fox News Digital.
"I’m a big fan of Taylor Swift, but I have a three-year-old and a three-month-old, so I wasn’t able to make it to the Eras Tour," he told Fox News Digital.
He continued, "I decided that recreating her album covers as ravioli was the next best thing."

Freeman said he's known for making fresh pasta — but knew he would have to use some outside-the-box ingredients to make the album creations.

"For this project, I used things like beets to make red dough, spinach to make green and spirulina to make blue," he said
The lawyer-turned-chef said he also used 3D-printed cutouts of the album cover details in order to make the design for each individual ravioli.

"Once the dough and cutouts are made, it’s a relatively simple process to layer different colored pasta dough to create the final product," he said.
