NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A video has surfaced of model Gabbriette Bechtel, Matty Healy's fiancee, where she is seemingly shading Taylor Swift’s iconic makeup style. Since then speculations have been swirling among fans.

The buzz began after Bechtel, 26, shared her makeup preferences in a recent clip, where she specifically mentioned her dislike for a red lip—a bold look that Swift, 34, is famously known for.

Gabbriette Bechtel criticizes old beauty trends like winged eyeliner and red lip

In the clip, which was highlighted by the 'Pop Apologists' podcast, Gabbriette Bechtel discusses her evolving makeup routine for Vogue France, as per Daily Mail

Reflecting on past beauty trends she used to follow, she expressed distaste for certain looks, including the "winged eyeliner" and "red lip"—both signature elements of Taylor Swift's style.

“I wore a red lip every day. I would never do that anymore,” Bechtel said, adding, “I think a red lip is my least favorite makeup look. It’s just not for me anymore.”

Lauren and Chan, hosts of 'Pop Apologists', took notice of Bechtel’s remarks and speculated that the model’s comments were a thinly veiled jab at Swift, who briefly dated Healy in 2023 but split one month later.

“I think to Swiftie Nation, this is a cold-blooded dig,” Chan said, while her co-host and sister Lauren added, “[She may as well have said] ‘I don’t do my makeup like Taylor Swift who’s so cheugy.’”

“It’s so stupid and petty if she did,” Chan remarked.

Lauren even suggested that Bechtel’s comment could be linked to Swift’s song 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,' from 'The Tortured Poets Department' album, which allegedly targets Healy.

Lauren explained, “She said, ‘he does not measure up to any measure of a man'. This was a dig at his manhood. 100 percent.”

Internet divided over Gabbriette Bechtel's alleged dig at Taylor Swift 

Fans were quick to respond to the clip. Some believed that Gabbriette Bechtel's remarks were indeed a subtle swipe at Taylor Swift while others had a different view.

A user expressed, "And she like quietly grins while she’s saying it….def a dig at TS. But let’s step back and look at the whole picture. TS has Travis now and no-eye-brow girl has MH. Who’s the real winner? 😂"

In a similar fashion, another observer added, "One theory I read was that Matty Healy is very sensitive to how short he is compared to his 6'1" band mates. I think the title alone is another dig, calling him the smallest man who ever lived, which is funny to me. And I definitely think the red lip thing was a dig. If you watch it again, she slightly smirks as she says it."

Furthermore, a viewer pointed out, "It’s the way she smirks and mentions both the wing and the red lip and I believe she says it more than once that makes me think it was totally deliberate."



 

Joining the discussion, a follower shared, "Absolutely a dig, but she’s got a point. Taylor has the worst style and has been doing the red lip and winged eyeliner forever. We get it."

A remark underscored, "News flash not everything is about Taylor Swift except to those who only love and breathe her!"

Similarly, another comment echoed, "Taylor didn’t invent a red lip and winged liner it’s like the two most common makeup looks in the history of time 😂"

Delving deeper into the topic, an individual elaborated, "Y'all...Cmon. She's just talking about her personal makeup style. If she had something to say about TS she seems like the type that would just say it direct."

Despite the mixed reactions, the context of Swift’s previous relationship with Healy adds fuel to the fire.

Healy, 35, proposed to Bechtel in June after a nine-month whirlwind romance, and some fans believe Swift may have taken aim at Healy in her music.

According to insiders, Healy was “completely blindsided” by Swift’s references to him in 'The Tortured Poets Department', which includes tracks like 'Fortnight' and 'Guilty As Sin.'
