Taylor Swift isn’t just renowned for her musical talent and romantic endeavors; her dedicated fan base, affectionately known as Swifties, also often admire her stunning makeup choices. Since her debut single “Tim McGraw” hit the Billboard charts in 2006, the songstress has showcased a variety of makeup styles. From sultry dark smokey eyes to cat eyes so sharp they could cut glass—Swift has explored a range of looks. But have you ever pondered what Taylor Swift looks like au naturel, without makeup?
Despite her seemingly impeccable appearance, the celebrity has candidly confessed to a relatable yet not-so-great habit of occasionally forgetting to remove her makeup. “Sometimes I forget to wash off my makeup. Okay—almost all the time,” Swift admitted. Nevertheless, the pop star is just as striking without makeup as when she dazzles on TV screens and stages during her sold-out concerts.
Tied together with a smile
On January 22, 2019, Taylor Swift posted a laid-back selfie wearing a denim jacket, sporting cute dirty blond bangs, and seemingly bare-faced. Grinning beside her “Cats” character name, Bombalurina, she fittingly captioned the post, “Meow.” Even sans makeup, the celebrity showcased bright eyes, clear skin, and full lips. With arched eyebrows and a slightly mischievous grin, this selfie exudes a playful vibe, accentuated by the lack of makeup.
But what can we say? You’re gorgeous
On October 24, 2022, Taylor Swift proved that makeup isn’t a requirement for capturing a captivating photograph, especially when announcing the launch of her latest album. Without makeup, the musician appeared genuinely stunning with her hair fashioned into a braided bun as she gazed into the distance, clad in a fairytale-inspired ensemble. The caption accompanying the promotional post read, “Midnight, what a storied and fabled hour… On this sparkling evening, I’ll be releasing my twist on a fairytale we all know.” This image not only reaffirmed Swift’s natural beauty but also hinted at her inner and outer brilliance, considering the success of her “Midnights” album.
He said the way her blue eyes shined …
Every loyal Swiftie knows of Taylor Swift’s fondness for cozy sweaters. On October 24, 2018, the musician displayed her love for turtlenecks. In a selfie showcasing her iconic blond bangs and mesmerizing blue eyes, the pop star wore a dark, snug turtleneck. The post playfully remarked, “Here we can observe an Australian swiftlet in her natural habitat, a turtleneck.” The selfie exuded a grounded, nature-oriented atmosphere, with Swift exploring an Australian landscape in the following photos.
Never go out of style
Amid the COVID-19 lockdowns, nearly every active social media user participated in the trend of posting at least one no-makeup selfie from home with a boredom-related caption. Taylor Swift also joined in, sharing a flawless makeup-free selfie on April 27, 2020. Gazing into the camera with her trademark blond curls cascading slightly beyond her collarbone, she captioned the photo, “Not a lot going on at the moment.” While the caption captured the essence of the lockdown experience, viewers were likely struck (or perhaps not entirely surprised) by how effortlessly flawless Swift looked without makeup.
