When you think of Taylor Swift, a signature beauty look likely comes to mind: bold cat eyes paired with a striking red lip. This look has been a hallmark of her style since her 2011 *Speak Now* tour—so much so that she’s famously sung about her “cat eye sharp enough to kill a man” and her “red lip classic thing that you like.”
However, Swift’s recent appearances suggest a significant change: her iconic ruby lips have been replaced with a peachy terra-cotta hue. The shift was first noticed last weekend at Karen Elson’s wedding at Electric Lady Studios, and again at the 2024 Video Music Awards. Given Swift’s penchant for dropping Easter eggs—whether in her outfits, songs, or other subtle clues—fans are buzzing with speculation.
Some believe the new lipstick shade could hint at the impending release of *Reputation (Taylor’s Version)*, especially after she paired it with a Dior outfit at the VMAs. But regardless of fan theories, one thing is certain: as fall approaches, Swift is embracing a softer, earthy lip color that aligns perfectly with Pantone’s prediction that peach will be the color of 2024.
