Taylor Swift marked the success of her song “Opalite” hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 23rd by posting a look behind the scenes on Instagram. She shared studio clips, including a casual video of herself without makeup, wearing a large green sweater and letting her blonde curls flow freely.
The singer shared a post celebrating the song’s rise to the top of the Hot 100 chart, writing, “Here are a few Opalite memories to mark this amazing achievement! This is the first time I’ve had two songs from the same album reach #1 since 1989 was released in 2014.”
Some fans loved the natural look of the woman in the video, but others questioned if it was actually Taylor Swift. Many social media users zoomed in on her face, with one Instagram commenter writing, “Is that really her? Her nose looks completely different.” Another user added, “That doesn’t look like her nose at all! It’s not her.”

Several people commenting pointed out that makeup couldn’t fully account for the change in appearance. One person specifically noted, “Makeup can’t possibly make that much of a difference—her nose and eyes look completely different.”
People noticed a change in her appearance, with one user commenting, “She looks completely different! Her cheeks are fuller, her nose is wider, and her chin isn’t as defined.” Some speculated she’d had cosmetic surgery, with one person saying, “She looked better before her nose job,” and another exaggerating that she’d had “more work done than all the Kardashians combined.”
In other parts of the Instagram post, Swift showed off a new look with a brunette wig and clothes inspired by 1980s workout fashion. She shared that she’d never felt more like herself, saying, “This is actually who I was meant to be.”
Even though some people criticized her, many Taylor Swift fans came to her defense. One fan wrote, “It’s her talent, how hard she works, and her kindness that make her someone to look up to – what she looks like doesn’t matter.”
One person commented that she looks beautiful with or without makeup, adding, “Hurt people hurt people,” seemingly in response to negative comments. Another fan simply stated that they believe she’s beautiful even without makeup.
Many people were amazed by how different someone can look with makeup and hairstyling. One viewer commented, “She looks completely different without makeup and curls – you probably wouldn’t even recognize her!”
People playfully compared her to Ed Sheeran, with one commenter writing, “I thought it was Ed Sheeran!” Another joked that she resembled him so much they might be the same person, adding, “They are both incredibly talented.”
Released on February 7th, “Opalite” is the second single from Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Swift’s fourteenth chart-topping song, and marked the first time since 1989 that she’d had two songs from one album reach the top of the charts.
