There are plenty of iconic things about Taylor Swift, including the fact that she just became the only artist in Grammy history to win Album of the Year four times. Right now, however, I’m here to discuss Taylor Swift’s red lipstick — a signature look that will go down in history. Honestly, the singer has been wearing a deep red hue for so long that I might believe it if you told me those were her natural lips.
Just like Taylor has grown (and racked up those Grammys), her go-to red lipsticks have grown with her. Since this is arguably one of the greatest style love affairs in the history of pop culture, I decided to put my journalism degree to use and ferret out the singer’s favorite lip enhancers through the years.
Scroll below to shop Taylor Swift’s red lipstick, from the now-viral Pat McGrath Labs LiquiLust to the forever-iconic MAC Ruby Woo. Feel free to blast “Style” (or “The Moment I Knew,” “Wildest Dreams,” “Blank Space,” “End Game,” “I Did Something Bad” or any other song where she mentions red lipstick) while you peruse.
Pat McGrath Labs
Our girl enlisted the legendary Dame Pat McGrath herself to lend her artistry to the “Bejeweled” music video in 2022. In an interview with Allure, McGrath confirmed that Blondie is wearing LiquiLust liquid lip in Elson 4 in the video.
Taylor also allegedly wears the product while onstage during the Eras Tour. And if you’ve opened social media at all this year, you know that her onstage makeup does not budge — even in a thunderstorm.
Pat McGrath Labs
If a classic lipstick formula is more your thing, you can grab the same blue-red Elson shade in this more traditional product. And for those who love warmer red lip tones, there are a ton of different Elson shades, like the orangey-red Elson 2.

No red lipstick is more iconic than MAC’s Ruby Woo. Taylor told People in 2015 that the universally flattering red lipstick was her go-to at the time. (I mean, there’s a reason why this one has been a cult favorite forever.)

Once upon a time, Taylor was the face of CoverGirl — and used the CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Hot for her signature red lips. Unfortunately, CoverGirl discontinued Lip Perfection. Don’t worry — you can grab the shade in the brand’s Exhibitionist Lipstick, which is basically the same thing.
Nordstrom
Taylor wore this perfectly luxurious blueish-red lipstick from Chanel on the cover of InStyle back in November 2013. Yes, this was technically during the Red era, but everything about this cover is so 1989-coded.
Sephora
OK, so there’s no proof that Taylor has actually worn this Rare Beauty lipstick. However, she has been besties with Selena Gomez since they both dated a Jonas brother, so I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that this shade is in her arsenal.
