Taylor Swift’s Engagement Lipstick Color Is Such a Change From Her Signature Beauty Look

The Gist

• Taylor Swift ditched her signature red lipstick during her engagement to Travis Kelce.

• In photos shared by the couple on Tuesday, August 26 of the proposal, the star could be seen with a bright hue with nods to her upcoming album.

• Swift wore a bright color lipstick to announce The Life of a Showgirl.

Bejeweled in almost $41,000 worth of diamond and gold jewelry as well as a surprisingly affordable Nancy Meyers-coded Ralph Lauren striped dress, Taylor Swift got engaged to Travis Kelce in an idyllic rose-lined garden—a romantic proposal straight out of one of her relationship anthems. Swift and Kelce shared their engagement news on Tuesday, August 26 in a joint Instagram post (reportedly “weeks” after the football star actually popped the question), and Swifties quickly noticed that the “Style” star ditched her signature makeup look for the big moment.

Instead of that “red lip classic thing” that the star is known for, Swift’s engagement lipstick shade appeared to be a subtle nod to her upcoming twelfth studio album. The Grammy Award-winning singer paired her black liquid eyeliner and natural blonde waves with a matte coral lipstick that’s slightly less orange than the vivid hue that she wore to announce The Life of a Showgirl on her fiancé Travis Kelce’s New Height podcast.

While speculation about the exact engagement hue is running rampant among Swifties (Nars Morocco and Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain are popular shade guesses), Swift also showed off surprisingly neutral “soap” nails as she gave fans a close-up look at her 10-carat diamond engagement ring. A Kindred Lubeck-designed emerald ring from Artifex Fine Jewelry, the diamond sparkler features a large Brilliant Mine-Cut stone in the middle—a nod to Swift’s love of a vintage aesthetic.

Swift also showed off the same neutral nails (as well as a slightly more intense orange lipstick) during her New Heights appearance, cementing the beauty combination as a Swiftie-approved look this fall. However, the “Blank Space” singer has been embracing her signature red lipstick (potentially Pat McGrath’s Elson 4 that she wore during the Eras Tour) while counting down to her twelfth album’s release date with stunning photos of her clad in bejeweled lingerie, intricate headdresses, and not much else as she embraces her Life of a Showgirl era.
