Taylor Swift Shares A Makeup-Free Video On Instagram

Over the last few weeks, Taylor Swift fans have been getting 'fed' content by the Eras Tour star, who has been celebrating the release of her song and music video, "Opalite." Although the song was a single for her latest album, Life of a Showgirl, which came out last fall, it has had a resurgence in popularity after she did a surprise music video drop.

 

The star-studded video contained a cast that included Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Graham Norton, and more, and contained lots of fun visuals, after solely releasing the music video on music streaming platforms before putting it up on YouTube, which music industry experts believe was so she could get closer to the number one spot on the Billboard Top 100 charts, as YouTube streams no longer count towards it. Well, that goal was achieved, and she shared a lengthy Instagram post to celebrate the song hitting the #1 spot.

 

As she celebrated the song's exciting moment, Taylor shared behind-the-scenes footage and photos from her writing the song and filming the video. At the start, there's a video of her in the studio, smiling with what looks like a bare face and no makeup. Her curly hair was in its natural state, and her fair, clear skin was glowing.

Fans React To Taylor's Bare-Faced Post

Because she's such a mega star who often attends glamorous events, the "Midnights" singer is often seen in full makeup, wearing fashionable looks that her styling team puts together. Therefore, seeing her new bare-faced post was a pleasant surprise for fans.

 

On Instagram, fans and other internet users expressed how great they thought she looked and how much they loved seeing her makeup-free.

 

"Beautiful," wrote several users, as another commented, "Still gorgeous as always."

 

"Natural, unapologetic, iconic," wrote a fan. "Swift knows the glow isn't just makeup."

 

One fan praised her "natural beauty," and another commented that she is a "beautiful person inside and out."

 

We'll be curious to see if Swifties will be treated to anymore footage from the billionaire's recording process, but for now, they seem to be loving what's out there, especially since they're getting to see a more natural side of her.
