Key Takeaways
Taylor Swift chose a simple, bridal-coded French manicure to promote her new, glitzy, and far from simply stylized album.
To be fair, though: nothing beats a classic when you're showing off an engagement ring.
The life of a showgirl is glamorous and arduous. It involves lots of primping and ensuring you're constantly glammed up because you will be photographed. Ideally, there’s a little bit of glitter involved. Luckily, it seems Taylor Swift embraces this lifestyle. She leans in, at least.
A Shift in Style
When it comes to her manicure, however, Swift has made a surprising choice. Despite the glitz and pizazz of her new era, she opted for a demure nail art style while promoting it. On Friday, October 3, she embarked on a media tour, appearing on various online shows. Fans got a good look at her engagement ring and her nails. The chunky glitter polishes we associate with her were absent. Instead, she showcased a simple French manicure, perfect for a classic bride.
Taylor Swift's Bridal French Manicure
This manicure exuded an aura of glamour. French tips are inherently chic, and the look was perfectly chosen to highlight Swift's new jewelry. The showgirl knew interviewers would be asking about her ring.
Her nails were medium in length and filed into a soft squoval shape. They featured a nude base with plain white tips. This wasn't a micro French or a deep French; it was simply a classic French for a super normal bride. (Just kidding, she is far from normal.) Each nail was finished with a glossy top coat that only just rivaled her stunning diamond.
The Engagement Photoshoot
We should have anticipated a blend of aesthetics when Swift announced her engagement alongside her new album. The dreamy garden photoshoot she shared in August contrasts with the feather-and-rhinestone vibe of her record. Yet, she allowed this mix to flourish, demonstrating her keen foresight in curating her Instagram feed.
One thing those engagement photos did feature? Another simple manicure! For that special moment, she wore soap nails—another far cry from the orange sparkles she used to announce her album to the world.
Embracing Duality
It's possible to contain multitudes. Bridal Taylor and Showgirl Taylor coexist beautifully, and it's delightful to see both sides share the spotlight.
