Social media posts recently embellished pop music sensation Taylor Swift’s celebration of Travis Kelce’s win at the Kansas City Chiefs game during Patrick Mahomes’ birthday bash. Swift has often been seen supporting the Chiefs and has become a familiar face in the team’s vibrant fanbase.
An interesting revelation about Swift’s appearance at these games came from her longtime makeup artist, Lorrie Turk, who recently spilled the beans on a long-held secret of Swift’s flawless look. Turk divulged Swift’s lipstick of choice in reply to a deluge of fan queries, and it turned out to be NARS Morocco Lipstick. Turk shared this tidbit on her Instagram Stories, which was later deleted, along with a snapshot of the particular lipstick shade. Swift has reportedly been wearing this lipstick for years, and it has become an integral part of her signature look.
To cement Swift’s love for the brand and the color, Turk shared images of Swift donning the warm cinnamon shade. Ranging from Swift’s yellow and black grunge appearance at the 2024 MTV VMAs to her appearances at the Chiefs games, the warm cinnamon lipstick has completed her ensemble, complemented by her denim outfits and red leather boots.
The revelation has sparked an overwhelming response from Swift’s dedicated followers, the Swifties, who were eager to learn about the secret behind her signature red lips. User comments flooded Turk’s Instagram posts, demanding the details of Swift’s chosen lipstick. Some fans even speculated that the lipstick shade Swift preferred was from another brand, Pat McGrath Labs, as Swift had previously partnered with them. However, Turk’s statement put all speculations to rest by revealing the actual brand behind Swift’s signature red lip.
However, fans wanting to emulate Swift’s look by procuring the same lipstick color found themselves disappointed. The NARS Morocco lipstick was sold out on the NARS Cosmetics website, making it harder for followers to imitate Swift’s enchanting look.
Even the origin of Swift’s iconic red lip has an interesting narrative behind it. Makeup artist Gucci Westman claimed to have introduced Swift to her first red lipstick during an Allure magazine cover shoot. According to Westman, Swift’s team was initially hesitant, claiming “Taylor doesn’t do red”. However, Westman persisted, saying, “Well, Taylor needs to try the red.” What followed has now become a signature part of Swift’s look.
Swift’s choice of a consistent lipstick shade is not the only consistent aspect of her style. Whether she is seen at football games supporting the Chiefs or attending award shows, her unique and easily identifiable style is constantly on display. Whether in a white Lois Tank and distressed denim shorts at the Arrowhead Stadium or wearing Area’s denim shorts that instantly sold out, paired with Christian Louboutin boots and Gant’s relaxed leather shirt at MetLife Stadium, her style remains iconic and personally significant.
Fans from across the globe continue to celebrate Swift’s style and influence. Whether they are swooning over her signature red lip or admiring her fashion decisions, one thing is clear – Swift’s style will never go out of style, much like her music.
