Sunderland artist’s scramble to create ‘Swiftie Stairs’ mural

Alongside the multi-coloured portrait of Swift, Mr Styles also painted some of the singer’s well-known Easter eggs on the staircase – which she uses in her content to hide messages and teasers for her millions of fans.

He admitted he was not a fan of the US star himself, but said his daughter was a big supporter and she, alongside her friends, helped him figure out which eggs to include.

He said he also wanted to highlight the medium of spray paint in the work.

Mr Styles, whose murals can be seen on several buildings around Sunderland, said he had a wonderful time interacting with Swifties at the unveiling of the work on Wednesday.

“They were just canny,” he added.

Swift, who packed out Wembley on Friday, is performing in London eight times as part of her Eras tour.
