“The Bejeweled beauty is all about exaggeration, elegance, and extravagance,” says McGrath, who relied on shadows from the Mothership X: Moonlit Seduction Palette and the Mothership IV: Decadence Palette, as well as her line’s sumptuous onyx eyeliners, to create the assemblage of eye adornments. McGrath notes that she’s already seen fans and followers trying their hand at the aesthetic and sharing on social media. “All of Taylor’s looks are perfect for holiday,” she says. “It really was about a celebration. A celebration in all things Taylor, but also a celebration in beauty, of being daring, having fun, being bejeweled, shimmer, and glitter. It really was an explosion of all the joy.”

As for taking a turn behind the camera, under Swift’s directorial eye? “Taylor managed everything with pure grace, and she was kind, thoughtful, and a joy to work with—really a creative force,” says McGrath. “I mean it’s something else to watch. She’s a legend.” Mid-call, McGrath pauses to confer with a team member—they’re in the process of recreating one of Swift’s looks. “It’s going to be amazing,” Queen Pat assures. Then, as a final note: “And lots of sparkle!”
