Good morning, fellow tired people who stayed up all night to watch Taylor Swift announce TS12 in a clip from New Heights posted exactly at 12:12!

Due to not sleeping at all and spending most of the night reading into everything, we did some historical research and think we found the lipstick Taylor's wearing in her album announcement. Emphasis on "think," because Tay's makeup artist, Lorrie Turk hasn't confirmed anything just yet.

First up, this was Taylor's vibe during the podcast: a crisp while shirt, paired with a Cartier necklace (feels like we should be reading into that, but not sure how yet), and the aforementioned orange lipstick. Very on theme, since orange is the colour of her new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl'.

Kay, so about that lipstick? It looks strikingly familiar to a shade Taylor wore to a Chiefs game back in September:

Which is the same shade she wore to the 2024 VMAs:

Lorrie Turk hopped onto Instagram last October to reveal the colour and brand, sayin,g "So many people asking about this lipstick that Taylor wears all the time. It's NARS Morocco Lipstick. She's worn it for years."

While the shade is often sold out due to the Taylor Swift of it all, it happens to be available on the NARS website.

Oh, and while we're here: if you're wondering when 'The Life of a Showgirl' drops, the official date is TBD. But we do know it's likely before mid-October, since the album's shipping date is 13/10/2025.
