Taylor Swift is giving a whole new meaning to the fake freckle trend as she switched the traditional freckle pen for a glitter patch. Paired with her classic red lip, the 34-year-old showed off glitter freckles while making an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs game against New Orleans Saints on Monday (Oct. 7) to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

The source behind the $16 glitter freckles is Fazit, a female-founded small business run by Nina LaBruna and Swiftie Aliett Buttelman, who has gone viral for her heartwarming response to the “Fortnight” singer wearing her fake freckles. In a TikTok that has gained more than 6 million views, Buttelman can be seen crying after discovering that the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper was wearing her beauty product.

Coupled with the newfound viral fame, the small business’ sales have skyrocketed as fans clamor to get their hands on the exact glitter freckles worn by Swift. According to another TikTok from Buttelman, sales for Fazit’s glitter freckles grew 2,500% in 13 hours after the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer sported the makeup — and they’re still in stock (for now).
“Grateful to @Taylor Swift amplifying small female founded businesses and the @Fazit team 🫶✨” the caption reads.

Fazit Makeup Patches
Unsurprisingly, the popularity thanks to Swift has resulted in Fazit’s Makeup Patches to become a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon for body glitters. More than 9,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased the product in the past month — and the number is only expected to continue rising. While the artist was seen wearing the gold version, there are seven shades and style to choose from, including a strawberry design.
Applying the fake freckles is similar to how you would put on a temporary tattoo: Peel the backing off the glitter freckles then place the sticky side onto your face. You’ll want to take a damp towel and apply slight pressure for at least 60 seconds, then peel off the strip and you’re done.
Once on, they’re water- and sweatproof, and can easily be taken off with makeup remover, according to the brand.

Selena Gomez‘s Only Murders in the Building is always full of clues for murder-mystery lovers, but in a new episode, the show may have also had an Easter egg for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans.
Viewers were quick to spot a possible reference to the “Anti-Hero” singer in the Tuesday (Oct. 8) episode of the Emmy-winning Hulu show, which finds the Rare Beauty founder and costars Martin Short and Steve Martin visiting an eclectic doll-filled house owned by guest star Melissa McCarthy, who plays the sister of Martin’s character. At one point, Gomez’s Mabel sits down next to a life-size doll that bears a striking resemblance to Swift, complete with blonde hair and trim bangs.
Plus, the doll in question sports a jersey with the digits “87” on it, which also happens to be the “Karma” artist’s boyfriend’s Kansas City Chiefs number. Swift herself has also sported a number of “87” accessories in real life, too, with the 14-time Grammy winner often representing Kelce’s call sign on jackets, hats and cups when attending games at Arrowhead Stadium.

“wait guys taylor cameo in the new ep of only murders in the building??? and she’s wearing an 87 shirt omg help 😭😭” one fan wrote on X after the episode aired, sharing a clip of the scene.
Another viewer tweeted alongside a snapshot of the scene, “i was watching the new episode of only murders in the building and..IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE TAYLOR?😭”
The new episode comes a little over a month after Gomez addressed the possibility of a Swift cameo in Only Murders in an interview with E! News, during which the “Calm Down” artist said of her longtime bestie, “She’s a little busy, you guys.”
When the reporter suggested that Swift simply walk by on the street in an episode, Gomez said, “I love that.”
“Here’s how I unite Taylor Swift and Selena,” Martin jumped in at the time. “Taylor Swift handles everything perfectly and so does Selena. In the situations I’ve seen — politically, trolls, everything — she just seems to have a wisdom about how to do something quietly, effortlessly. And I know that you have to think about these things.”
See some of the fan reactions to the possible Swift-Kelce tribute in Only Murders below.

The Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred expansion pack for Xbox Series X and Xbox One is available now starting at $39.99 for the standard edition at Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers. The DLC (downloadable content) is also available for PC at G2A.
Pop fans were brought into the world of Diablo IV in 2023 when Halsey teamed up with BTS member Suga for a revamp of her song “Lilith.” Speaking to Billboard about their collaboration on the track, Halsey praised Suga’s work, saying the song would’ve been impossible to release without his help. “We were able to infuse the anthem with intricate narratives that encompass a wider range of emotions I wouldn’t have been able to tell without him. He added a whole new perspective to the song,” she said. “Plus, it was just honestly really cool to do something so bada– with my friend.”

Keep in mind, Vessel of Hatred is an add-on for the game Diablo IV, so you need to own a copy of the game to download and play the expansion pack. Additionally, if you have access to Diablo IV with Xbox Game Pass, you’ll still have to buy the DLC to play.
You can order now and Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred will be delivered to you via “You Games and Software Library” on Amazon.
