The “August” singer recently appeared on her boyfriend and his brother’s podcast, where their engaging conversation quickly became a topic of intense discussion. However, the real buzz didn’t come from the interview content itself, but from Taylor Swift’s visibly transformed facial appearance, which sparked a flurry of public commentary.
You’ve heard what the public thinks—but what’s your take? See the photos and decide for yourself.
Taylor Swift, Travis, and Jason Kelce came together for her first-ever podcast appearance on Wednesday, August 13, for a special pre-season episode of “New Heights.” During the conversation, she opened up about the start of her romance with Travis, the emotional journey of buying back her music masters, and the upcoming cover of her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
While the content was full of insights, fans on social media quickly zeroed in on her face, pointing out noticeable changes. Many critics were harsh, with one declaring that Taylor had “ruined her face with all the plastic surgery and looks older than her age with all the fillers.” Others were more speculative, wondering if she had new filler or Botox. Some reminisced about her “perfect” look from the Red and 1989 eras, noting that her face now appears “swollen” in some spots.
Not all reactions were critical. Some fans came to her defense, with one commenting that she looks “BETTER with age” and others praising her “lethal” beauty and her career choice, joking that models were lucky she chose music.
This public debate has drawn attention to her facial evolution over the years. From her youthful glow at the 2006 CMT Music Awards to her sweetly chubby cheeks in 2011 and her more sculpted cheekbones and pronounced lips in recent years, Taylor Swift’s look has certainly changed. Here’s a look back at her visual journey through the years.
