We’ve spent the past 6 months carefully decoding Taylor Swift’s game day style. Whether she’s turning up in aStella McCartney teddy coat, wearingsentimental jewelryorrepping boyfriend Travis Kelce’s numberon her puffer, Swift has brought WAG dressing to the forefront of pop culture.
But in all this research, one thing has stumped us: The secret behind her smudge-proof red lip. It’s survivedswag surfin', chicken fingers (with “seemingly” ranch dip!) and several pink beverages. But on Sunday, she put it to the ultimate test.
What kind of beauty sorcery is at play here? We have our theories, which we’ve outlined below.
Theory 1: The Powder Trick
“There are tricks I’ve learned from makeup artists on shoots. They put on the red lipstick, then blot it with a tissue, then they put powder over the tissue and sort of press it onto your lips. Then re-apply,” she shared at the time. “It turns it into a stain that lasts much longer.”
Is Swift moonlighting as her own makeup artist and building the perfect, smudge proof pout? This womancaused a literal earthquake on tourso it’s possible she has unlocked the secret to everlasting lip color.

It’s likely that Swift has a number of red lipsticks in her rotation. Top of her list: Pat McGrath’s best-sellingLabs MatteTrance Lipstick in shade Elson.
According to the brand, the shade is “a creamy, smudge-proof, formula that is flexible on the lips and stays on all night long.” But does “all night long” include a makeout moment? Even the best lipsticks struggle to stay strong when faced with another set of lips.

Theory 3: She’s Superhuman
If Swift attends the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 (whichis possible despite her Tokyo concert the night before), it would be her 13th (!) Chiefs Game. For those who don’t speak Swiftie,13 is the Grammy winner’s lucky number.Besides her birthday (Dec. 13), Swift has noted how her first album went gold in 13 weeks and her first No. 1 song had a 13-second introduction. And that’s just a few examples.
More proof that stars are alining and the girl math, is mathing:
The Super Bowl is 2/11 and 2 + 11 = 13.
It also happens to be Super Bowl 58. And 5 + 8 = (all together now!) 13.
Basically, it’s Swift’s simulation and we’re all living in it.
