The public has weighed in—but where do you stand? Share your verdict on this buzzworthy look after seeing the photos.
Taylor Swift, Travis, and Jason Kelce, teamed up on “New Heights” for her first-ever podcast appearance on Wednesday, August 13. While their conversation was engaging, much of the fan attention centered on her noticeably transformed facial appearance.
In the special pre-season episode, Taylor recounted her and Travis’s origin story, which blossomed into their current romance. She also discussed finally buying back her masters and how emotional the entire experience was, and revealed the cover of her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” set for release in October.
While the conversation was lively and packed with insights into her life and love, fans couldn’t help but zero in on her face, pointing out changes. One critic didn’t hold back, declaring, “Taylor Swift ruined her face with all the plastic surgery and looks. She looks older than her age with all the fillers.”
Another commenter speculated, “We can all agree that Taylor has new filler or something, right? I’m watching these New Heights promos and she looks different??” More people wondered, “Is Taylor gonna address her filler.”
Another netizen questioned, “Is Taylor Swift going TOO far with her face and the botox? I’m just remembering how she used to have the perfect in the Red/1989 era, where you could recognise her just with her lips alone. And now she’s swollen asf at scaring points 😭 [sic].”
Someone else felt certain about the changes, writing, “Yes. She’s pushing that filler too much! Ruined her upper bleph so much so that her eyes are gonna be missing by time she’s 40. Yeah this botch queen is closer to 40 than 30.” Another follower, perhaps with a touch of humor, admitted, “I need to know Taylor’s lip filler lady.”
One observer noted, “Yeah I think she’s doing more filler lately cause I noticed her looking just different (still good!) during some of the football games last year/VMAs.”
Not all reactions were critical — one fan praised her, “Ya know taylor really is one of the 1% of women who looks BETTER with age❗ she seems like an all natural kinda gal but i still wonder if she’s had one or two plastic touchups 🙂 [sic].”
And to cap it off, a supporter gushed, “Her face card in the album cover is actually lethal. like unreal how unbelievably beautiful taylor is. models got so lucky she chose music [sic].”
