'RIP to a real one': Fans accuse Taylor Swift of altering her face to match Travis Kelce's WAG aesthetic
's recent public appearance at a family wedding with boyfriend has ignited a fresh wave of internet speculation—not about their rumored engagement, but about Swift's changing appearance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The pop superstar, who has long remained silent on plastic surgery chatter, is now facing harsh criticism and curiosity from fans who claim her face 'looks weird' and 'overdone. ' Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend family wedding amid engagement buzz On June 6, 2025, Swift and Kelce were photographed at the wedding of his cousin Tanner Corum and bride Samantha Peck. The glamorous couple looked picture-perfect, but it wasn't the romantic backdrop or their matching energy that drew the most attention online. Instead, some fans zeroed in on Swift's appearance, speculating that the 14-time Grammy winner may have had recent cosmetic procedures. 'She looks really weird lately,' a Reddit user posted. 'I feel like she got more plastic surgery, right?' Others echoed similar sentiments, pointing out how her 'cheeks look strange and overdone,' suggesting cheek fillers may be the cause. Fans react harshly: from cheek filler theories to Kardashian comparisons Swifties took to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to share their concern. 'I don't remember her face ever being that full,' one fan wrote. Another speculated that her eyes looked 'a little weird' and that 'her face looks super tight like she can't make real emotions.' Some even compared her evolving look to iconic figures known for plastic surgery, saying, 'She be looking like Kris Jenner more and more every day,' and 'Yeah, she reminds me of Joan Rivers in her later years… already. ' Rather than slamming Swift entirely, a few fans offered a different take, wishing celebrities would be more transparent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'RIP to a real one,' one user wrote of Joan Rivers. 'People who get plastic surgery… should take notes… Own it.' Some observers blame Swift's look on her new 'WAG lifestyle' (wives and girlfriends of athletes), speculating that she may be altering her image to fit the glitz and aesthetic of the NFL world. 'She adapts so much to the people surrounding her and this also shows in her appearance imo,' one Redditor noted. Also Read: While Swift has yet to respond to the criticism, one thing is clear: even a wedding guest appearance alongside Kelce isn't safe from scrutiny in the social media age.

She said, 'The fact that a lot of you took that 2 minutes of time, to read namaz and pray for me means a lot. You have no idea how motivating it was for us in these tough times.' In the video, Shoaib also cleared the air around Dipika having a needle around her neck. He said, 'A lot of you showed concerns about the needle around Dipika's neck, it is actually IV. Usually, doctors put it on your hand but at times of surgery, they insert it on the neck.' The actor added, 'After she was out of ICU, the doctor suggested her to keep it as her hands had become puffy and would hurt her.' Just before getting discharged, the doctors removed the IV from her neck and stitches around her waist, which caused her a little discomfort. 'After they took out the thing from the waist, it is hurting a bit,' said Dipika. Dipika Kakar was diagnosed with the tumour in her liver in May. The actress took to her Instagram handle to share the news with her fans. She wrote, 'As you all are aware last few weeks have been quite difficult for us… walking into the hospital for a pain in the upper area of my stomach… and then finding out its a tennis ball size tumour in the liver and then finding out that the tumour is second stage malignant (cancerous)… it has been one of the most difficult time we have seen, experienced! I am all positive and determined to face this and walk out stronger InshAllah! With my entire family being by my side… and all the love and prayers pouring in from all of you I will sail through this too!'
