Taylor Swift‘s new look has been sparking debates among fans. When The Life of a Showgirl singer appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote her album, she was allegedly not looking quite herself. No, it wasn’t the new, short, side-swept fringe hairstyle that bothered her fans. They noticed that her face was visibly different from the last time we saw her on Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast.
During the show, she addressed everything from the songs in her new album to purchasing her masters and her engagement to Kelce. She was even joined by some esteemed guests on the couch, including Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi.
However, even the interesting chat on the show wasn’t quite as popular as these debates about her “new face”. Some fans made the wild claims that she had undergone some kind of cosmetic procedure and had fillers on her face. Fan discussion on the r/TaylorSwift subreddit had several such comments.
One fan wrote, “Is it the fillers or the bang looking sooo different.” Another said, “Someone please keep the fillers away from her.” A third fan shared, “Girl, what are you doing to your beautiful face.” Another commenter said, “How does she look so different from when we saw her on New Heights just a few months ago??”
However, other fans came to defend her, saying it might have been a problem with the photographic angles. Others further shared that her new hairstyle looked great. Some even claimed that she didn’t look that different when she was smiling in the stills from the show.
Sources close to the singer told the Daily Mail that she had not undergone any cosmetic procedures on her face. However, expert opinions suggested that she may have done something to her face.
Experts on Taylor Swift’s Alleged Fillers and Cosmetic Surgeries
Experts on the matter addressed Taylor Swift’s alleged cosmetic procedure on her face. While none of the plastic surgeons who commented on Daily Mail consulted Swift personally, they offered their opinions based on Swift’s photos from The Graham Norton Show.
Now, all of the experts who shared their opinion believed that Swift had undergone some procedure on her face. They suspected that she had gotten fillers or possibly used Botox treatment. In the latter, certain facial muscles are paralyzed using injections to attain desirable features.
One of the experts, Dr. Smita Ramanadham, shared that most celebrities “get fillers or facial treatments or Botox” to get ready for some of the major events. She felt that Swift was “no exception” as she prepared for her massive album launch event.
Dr. Ramanadham shared that Swift’s procedures might’ve been very subtle. She shared, “This is one of those things that is so subtle, I would think that if I didn’t have trained eyes, maybe I would not have caught it right away.” She shared that her photos from Graham Norton’s show her face “looking very full, especially in the cheek area.” She shared:
She has always had a youthful, rounder face, but compared to older pictures as an adult, [her face] is looking very full, and that to me just looks like she has had filler. Her eyes look a bit smaller too, it is very subtle, not as dramatic, but you get a sense her eyes are not as bright and as open, which can also be because of filler into the cheeks.
Dr. Ramanadham also rejected the possibility that the changes on her face were caused by weight gain. She shared that the “fullness” around her cheeks looked different from older photos, while the other parts of her face still looked the same. The doctor also added, “She is also slim and in shape.”
One of her facial features got Dr. Ramanadham’s attention, which made her reach the conclusion that the star might have used Botox. She shared, “The Botox is less obvious, but her eyebrows do appear a little more angular, which can be caused by these injections.” She shared that Swift’s eyebrows previously had “a beautiful arch,” but they now looked “a little less soft and a little more angular.”
Another expert on the topic, Dr. Gary Linkov, also agreed with Dr. Ramanadham and shared that Swift appeared to have used fillers and Botox. He shared that he noticed two things mainly, adding that it was “not as dramatic as people make out.” Dr. Linkov shared:
Her upper cheeks have a little more volume, it’s just a subtle enhancement, [which would indicate filler] and her eyebrows look like they are a bit more arched than usual, [suggesting Botox].
He also added that he didn’t find any changes in her upper lip area, as some fans suggested. But he shared, “I think she just kind of overlined the upper lip with her makeup.” Dr. Linkov also suggested that the changes in her face had nothing to do with her weight fluctuations.
He also addressed Swift’s puffier-looking cheeks, sharing that the fillers might not have settled in yet. He shared that after getting a filler, it might take up to a month for the swelling to go away.
A third expert, plastic surgeon Dr. Barry DiBernardo, shared with Daily Mail, “It definitely looks like there is filler going on, her cheeks look a bit bigger, fuller, and her face looks a little wider.” He also shared that Swift might’ve gotten fillers into her jawline, which made it look more pronounced than usual.
It’s Not the First Time Taylor Swift Faced Allegations of Cosmetic Procedure
In 2023, Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie had suggested that Taylor Swift may have undergone an upper blepharoplasty and a possible nose job. He shared with Daily Mail that he was “almost 100 percent certain” that she had done “maintenance” behind the scenes. He shared, “Taylor has really not done too much, but there are some subtle things I’ve noticed.”
The blepharoplasty procedure is done on the eyelids. The doctor shared, “Her eyes have always been very heavy since she’s been younger, but now they are a little more open.” He shared that she might’ve done the procedure on the upper eyelid to open up her eyes more. He also shared that the singer might’ve gotten a nose job. He shared:
And then I think her nose may have changed just a bit in its width. It’s a little bit more contoured and narrower now, maybe slightly. So either a finesse was done or a kind of rhinoplasty.
The doctor also suspected that Swift had had work done on her lips. He shared that she might have done “a little bit of lip filler” and “the maintenance Botox.” A spokesperson for the singer denied the allegations at the time, deeming them “completely false.”
Last year, London-based aesthetic doctor, Dr. Jonny Betteridge, took to Instagram to compare before and after transformation photos of the singer. His opinion also aligned with the others as he shared that the singer had made subtle changes to her appearance.
He also suggested that Swift underwent blepharoplasty, sharing, “This is to help with hooding of the eyes and under eye bags.” Swift’s team didn’t comment on these allegations.
