Taylor Swift’s Freckled Makeup at Kansas City Chiefs Game Is Under Discussion: Too ‘Mature’ ‘Fillers’
Taylor Swift’s recent makeup at a football game has caught a lot of attention. Some fans loved it, while others were more critical. The star sported a sparkling look with glittery freckles during a Kansas City Chiefs game. The freckle patches, created by beauty brand Fazit, stood out and sparked online reactions.
**Fans Have Mixed Reactions**
Swift was attending the Chiefs’ game against the New Orleans Saints in a plaid dress and black boots, but it was her unique makeup that people noticed. Some fans thought the glitter freckles were too youthful for a woman of her age. One Instagram user questioned, “Is she 15?” while another said, “You can wear that at 65. Age is just a number!” But others agreed with the critics, saying Swift might be too old for this style.
Another user on X said, “She’s in her mid-thirties. Why is she wearing face glitter?” Some also wondered if Swift had undergone cosmetic procedures like Botox or fillers.
**Some Fans Loved the Look**
Despite the criticism, many fans thought Swift looked amazing. One fan wrote, “Love her sparkle face,” while another gushed, “Taylor looks stunningly beautiful.” The co-owner of Fazit, Aliett Buttelman, also praised Swift’s makeup. She shared her excitement on Instagram, saying, “Is life real?! I just stopped sobbing!” She even posted a close-up video of Swift wearing the glitter freckles.
**Jason Kelce Comments on Swift’s Look**
Jason Kelce, the brother of Swift’s boyfriend, also noticed her appearance. During an ESPN broadcast, Kelce mentioned Swift’s makeup, saying, “Hey, look at that now. She’s got the part on right there. That looks good.”
**Not the First Time Swift Has Sparked Reactions**
This isn’t the first time Swift has sparked debate about her style. Earlier in September 2024, she wore a denim corset top with red boots to a Chiefs game, which led to a lot of online discussion. Some fans questioned whether she was pregnant, while others criticized her outfit. However, some fans defended Swift, saying she looked better with a bit of extra weight.
**Swift Enjoyed the Game**
Throughout the game, Swift seemed to have a great time. She sat in Travis Kelce’s luxury suite with his family and was seen cheering passionately for him. After the game, Swift and Kelce left the stadium together, looking happy and in love as they walked hand-in-hand.
