Aside from her musical prowess and romantic adventures, Taylor Swift’s loyal fan base, known as Swifties, is known for her amazing beauty looks. The singer has sported a variety of beauty looks since her breakout track “Tim McGraw” peaked at number one on the Billboard charts in 2006.
Swift experimented with different styles, from peach tones, long lashes, blue eyeliner, dark smoky eyes, and cat eyes “sharp enough to kill a man”. Not to mention all the red lipstick she pulled off so well. However, have you ever wondered how Taylor Swift appears on her own?
Despite her supposedly flawless beauty, the star has freely admitted that she has a disappointing tendency to forget to remove her make-up. “Sometimes I forget to take my makeup off. Okay, almost all the time,” Swift admitted to Allure in 2011.
However, as seen in her makeup-free pictures, the Queen of Pop looks just as gorgeous without makeup as she does when she graces TV screens and stages at her sold-out concerts.
Combined with a smile
On January 22, 2019, Taylor Swift posted a relaxed selfie with her cute dirty blonde hair swept to the side, a denim jacket, and almost no makeup.
She captioned the photo with the appropriate hashtag “Meow” and a smile next to Bombalurina, her “Cats” character. The star had clear skin, plump lips, and beautiful eyes even without makeup. Complete with missing makeup, this selfie gives off a lively vibe with raised eyebrows and a slightly mischievous look.
However, what are we to say? You are quite beautiful.
Taylor Swift proved on October 24, 2022, that makeup is not necessary to take a melancholy picture, especially when announcing the release of her latest album. Dressed in a fairytale-inspired outfit, the musician looked incredibly glamorous without make-up and with her hair in a braid as she gazed off into the distance. The caption for the promotional post continued: “Midnight, what a legendary and legendary hour…
On this beautiful evening, I’m going to share my own take on a familiar fable.” Given the popularity of her album “Midnights,” this photo not only confirmed Swift’s beauty without makeup but also spoke to her inner and outer brilliance.
As her blue eyes sparkled, he said.
All true Swifties know that Taylor Swift loves to look good in sweaters, or should we say vests? The performer revealed her turtleneck preference on October 24, 2018, which may be more than her makeup preference. The pop sensation wore a black turtleneck for the selfie, which showed off her stunning blue eyes and famous blonde bangs. “Here we can observe the Australian robin in its natural habitat, a turtleneck,” read the caption of the funny photo. The following photos in the post were meant to have Swift explore Australia’s natural environment and add a grounded, natural feel to the selfie.
Never go out of style
Almost all active social media users have shared at least one photo taken at home without makeup during the COVID-19 lockdown along with a caption regarding their boredom. On April 27, 2020, Taylor Swift followed the trend on Instagram and posted a beautiful selfie without makeup. “Not much going on at the moment,” she wrote as she stared into the camera, her signature blonde hair slightly longer than her collarbone. Although Swift’s caption was about the lockdown experience, viewers were likely surprised — or not — by how flawless Swift looked without makeup.
Famous for her musical prowess and deeply involved fan base known as Swifties, Taylor Swift has also captivated audiences with her diverse range of beauty styles over the years. From peachy tones to bold red lips and dramatic eye makeup, Swift has confidently experimented with different looks, often gracing the stage and screen with impeccable glamour. Behind the scenes, however, Swift has openly admitted to occasional lapses in makeup removal, revealing a more relaxed approach to beauty maintenance.
Despite her occasional forgetfulness, Swift has effortlessly proven that she exudes beauty with and without makeup. In moments captured on social media, such as a 2019 selfie of her with minimal makeup and a charming smile while portraying her “Cat” character, Bombalurina, Swift exuded natural beauty with clear skin and bright eyes. Similarly, her 2022 announcement photo for the album “Midnights” showed her without make-up, dressed in a fairytale outfit, capturing a calm elegance that resonated deeply with fans.
Swift’s embrace of makeup-free moments extends beyond staged photo shoots to candid snaps like her 2018 turtleneck selfie and 2020 selfie where she effortlessly showcases her beauty and authenticity. These instances not only reinforce Swift’s natural charm but also underscore her ability to connect with audiences on a personal level, beyond the glamorous facade often associated with celebrity status.
As Taylor Swift continues to evolve musically and personally, her willingness to share these intimate moments serves as a reminder of her true nature and down-to-earth demeanor. Whether onstage captivating audiences or in quiet moments shared on social media, Swift’s beauty shines through, resonating with fans around the world and cementing her status as both a musical icon and figure in popular culture.
