Taylor Swift is many things. A mega star, style icon, tortured poet, Travis Kelce's girlfriend, the Madonna of our time, and a beauty influencer. If there's one burning question that is always top of everyone's mind, it is what red lipstick does Taylor Swift wear? Yep, Swift can rock a red lip like nobody's business. Fun Fact: Google searches for the exact shade of red Swift wears were up 669 percent since the star was spotted at the first Kansas City Chiefs game.

With the singer now embarking on the European leg of her Eras Tour, we decided to do a little digging in an effort to unpack the Taylor Swift lipstick theory. And, we can confirm while Swift's long been a fan of MAC Ruby Woo, the singer has a few red lip shades on rotation in her beauty bag. Discover how to rock a red lip like Taylor Swift here.
