The Story Behind Taylor’s Iconic Red Lip

Taylor’s love affair with red lipstick started in 2009, thanks to makeup artist Gucci Westman. In a bold move, Westman introduced the then-country star to a red lip. Though it required Andrea Swift’s (Taylor’s mom) approval, the look was an instant hit. Since then, Swift has embraced red lipstick as a part of her persona.

In an interview, Swift explained that red lipstick helps her express emotion, both on stage and off. Whether she’s performing during her Eras Tour, attending premieres, or cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the bold red lip remains a constant in her style.
