After the Chiefs’ first season game, Taylor Swift fans went into full detective mode to figure out what lipstick she wore while cheering on boyfriend and football tight-end Travis Kelce. TikTok videos quickly went viral, with fans speculating about the shade, especially after she wore what appeared to be the same color to the 2024 VMAs. Many believed it was the Pat McGrath Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil ($29) in the shade Nude Oasis, a neutral auburn hue. However, as confirmed by Swift’s makeup artist Lorrie Turk on Tuesday, October 1, the singer was actually wearing Nars’ The Original Lipstick ($26) in the shade Morocco (described by the brand as a “warm cinnamon” color), which Turk says the star has loved “for years.”

The speculation that Swift’s been wearing Pat McGrath lipstick wasn’t entirely off, considering Swift’s fondness for the brand. She’s also worn the LiquiLust Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick ($34) in the vivid blue-red shade called Elson and MatteTrance Lipstick ($39) in the same shade, so fans guessing her autumnal hue came from Pat McGrath made sense.
Below, we’ve listed Swift’s go-to Morocco shade from Nars, along with the Pat McGrath option fans initially speculated about. (It resembles the Nars pick closely enough that at the time of writing, Morocco is sold out nearly everywhere). We’ve also included her two favorite red shades in case you want to complete your Taylor-inspired lipstick collection. If they, too, are out of stock, be sure to set an alert for restocks before they inevitably fly off the virtual shelves again.
