Fans suspect there's some Bad Blood between model Gabbriette Bechtel and Taylor Swift, after a video shows her seemingly shading the singer's makeup look.
In a recent video of Bechtel, 26, who is engaged to Swift's ex, singer Matty Healy, the model is seen talking through her makeup looks and preferences, including her particular distaste for a red lip.
The clip of the reported slight at Swift was posted by Lauren and Chan of the Pop Apologists podcast.
'I used to follow the trends in like, Seventeen Magazine,' Bechtel says in the clip for Vogue France, as she talks through how she creates her signature '90s makeup look.
The musician then talks disparagingly about the makeup trends she used to wear, which include 'winged eyeliner' and a 'red lip' - two bold looks the Eras Tour hitmaker is known for.

'I wore a red lip every day,' she said. 'I would never do that anymore.'
'I think a red lip is my least favorite makeup look,' she continued. 'It's just not for me anymore.'
Her comments were heavily scrutinized by the podcast hosts, who believe it was a direct dig at Swift, 34, - who dated Healy briefly in 2023.
'I think to Swifite Nation, this is a cold blooded dig,' Chan declared. 'And if Gabbriette, if she's plugged in, she knows what she's doing.'
Chan's co-host and sister, Lauren, agreed, describing it as 'calculated.'
'"[She may as well have said] "I don't do my makeup like Taylor Swift who's so cheugy,"' she said.
'It's so stupid and petty if she did,' Chan chimed in.
However Lauren shared her theory that there may be a deeper reason for the dig, claiming the singer belittled Healy's 'manhood' in her song The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived from The Tortured Poets Department album.
'She said, "he does not measure up to any measure of a man,"' she explained. 'This was a dig at his manhood. 100 percent.'
'I feel like that's a very intense thing to say - it's pretty icy,' she quipped.
Viewers were divided over their theory, with some sure it wasn't a hidden slight but instead just a regular makeup tutorial.

Viewers were divided over their theory, some sure it wasn't a hidden slight but instead just a regular makeup tutorial.
'Why do swifties make everything about Taylor swift no one cares about her that much I promise (besides her fans) she’s just saying she doesn’t like that makeup anymore,' one user argued.
'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,' another theorized.
They continued: 'And I definitely think the red lip thing was a dig. If you watch it again, she slightly smirks as she says it.'
'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,' another agreed.
'Definitely a dig but it makes her look cringey. On the other hand Taylor’s lyrics about Matt were gross,' one neutral fan said.
'Or maybe she doesn’t like red lipstick?' laughed another.
Healy, 35, proposed to Bechtel in June this year, after a whirlwind nine month romance, and presented her with a large dark rock.
According to sources, Healy was 'completely blindsided' by ex Swift's references to him in the The Tortured Poets Department, after she targeted him in some tracks on the record-breaking 11th studio album.
The songstress seemingly also took aim at Healy in songs such as Fortnight and Guilty As Sin.
