Fall has officially begun, and Taylor Swift and her lipstick just proved it: The The Tortured Poet's Department singer has seemingly traded in her signature shade of bright warm red for a darker, moodier, and autumn-appropriate shade of cool-toned cranberry crimson.
Swift showed off the new hue while attending the US Open with boyfriend Travis Kelce and, despite friendship breakup rumors, their go-to double date companions Brittany and Patrick Mahomes. Swift also wore crimson red nail polish that matched her lips, too.
Wait, crimson red polish? Why does that sound familiar? Oh, because it is. Swifties, take a deep breath: In “I Did Something Bad," off the 2017 album Reputation, Swift does in fact reference wearing that exact color. “I can feel the flames on my skin/Crimson red paint on my lips,” she sings in the pre-chorus.
Does this mean that Swift's new shade is a nod to Reputation (Taylor's Version), for which fans have seemingly been waiting—and incorrectly theorizing about—for months now? Or is Swift actually referencing the lyrics “all that bloodshed, crimson clover” from her much more recent Midnights' “The Great War?” Perhaps “so scarlet, it was maroon” from the same album's “Maroon?”
