Taylor Swift's mom, Andrea Swift, had to be convinced to let her then-teenage daughter wear red lipstick when Gucci Westman did her makeup for an Allure cover.

Taylor Swift didn't wear red lipstick until an Allure photo shoot in March 2009. Her makeup artist told Elle Australia she had to ask Swift's mom permission to use red lipstick.

Taylor Swift's signature red lipstick might not have been born. Celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman shares that the singer's mom, Andrea, was hesitant for her daughter to wear the shade.
