Red lips and Taylor Swift have become synonymous over the years, but the iconic look almost didn't come to be. During a recent appearance on 'Today,' celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman shared the story behind Swift's signature red lip.
Westman revealed that during a makeup session for an April 2009 Allure cover shoot, she noticed that Swift had never worn a red lip before. Despite her desire to try the bold hue on the singer, Westman had to seek approval from Swift's mom, Andrea Swift, who initially expressed hesitation as Taylor was not accustomed to wearing red lipstick.
