Jalen Hurts Praises Taylor Swift’s Natural Beauty, Chooses 'No Makeup' Moment to Highlight Her True Elegance
Los Angeles, CA – NFL star Jalen Hurts has always been known for his on-field leadership and remarkable talent, but his recent comments about pop superstar Taylor Swift have taken fans by surprise. Hurts, who has garnered attention for his sports achievements, opened up in a recent interview about his admiration for Swift, particularly when it comes to her natural beauty.
In a candid moment, Hurts was asked about his thoughts on the multi-talented artist, and he didn’t hold back. "Taylor is just stunning. She's not just talented, but her beauty shines through in everything she does — especially when she embraces her natural look," Hurts said, referring to a viral moment where Swift shared a picture of herself without makeup. "That no-makeup moment really showcased her true elegance. It’s not often that you see someone so confident and comfortable in their own skin, and that’s what I really admire about her."
The image Hurts referenced showed Swift in a relaxed, makeup-free moment, exuding confidence and authenticity, which resonated deeply with fans and sparked a conversation about self-love and embracing natural beauty. Hurts, who has built a reputation for his grounded personality both on and off the field, found inspiration in Swift's ability to be vulnerable and real with her fans.
"It’s refreshing to see someone in the spotlight just being themselves. Taylor’s natural beauty is a testament to how powerful it is to be authentic," Hurts continued. "I think that’s something a lot of people can relate to, especially in an industry where there's so much pressure to look a certain way. She’s a true role model."
Swift’s down-to-earth approach to her public image has long been a source of admiration for fans, and Hurts’ praise only adds to her growing influence as a cultural icon. Her "no-makeup" moment highlighted not only her physical beauty but also her confidence and strength, qualities that resonate deeply with her fans, including Hurts.
With both stars navigating their high-profile careers with grace, it’s clear that Swift’s impact extends beyond her music, leaving an impression on a wide range of people, including athletes like
Buccaneers Move Quickly to Replace Suspended RB
Whatever shock the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had after learning of the NFL’s 6-game suspension for running back Josh Williams didn’t get in the way of business. In this case, that meant figuring out how to replace Williams on the 53-man roster with a quickness.
“Bucs have signed running back Owen Wright from the practice squad to the 53-man roster,” Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman wrote on his official X account on Friday, November 14. “Need depth with Josh Williams suspended for the next six games.”
The Buccaneers, who are 6-3 and in first place in the NFC South Division, face Super Bowl contenders in consecutive games with at trip east to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 then a trip west to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.
Wright Broke Into NFL as Undrafted Free Agent
While we don’t know much about how Wright, 5-foot-9 and 214 pounds, might hold up against NFL competition, we do know he’s resilient. That’s something we can say about pretty much anyone who makes it into the NFL as an undrafted free agent.
Wright started his college career at William & Mary before transferring to Monmouth, another FCS school, and was an All-CAA pick in 2022 by scoring an incredible 17 touchdowns — 16 rushing and 1 receiving — on just 74 combined touches.
In 2023, Wright made the Baltimore Ravens and played in 1 regular season game before spending 2024 on injured reserve. He signed with the Buccaneers in the offseason and made it to final roster cuts on August 26 before being brought back on the practice squad on October 7.
Wright has played in 1 regular season game for the Buccaneers — a home win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.
NFL Came Down Hard on Williams
The NFL announced it was suspending Williams, a rookie running back, on November 11. That means he’s not eligible to return until a Week 17 road game against the Miami Dolphins.
“Bucs RB Josh Williams has been suspended six games without pay for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy, the league announced,” Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud wrote on his official X account.
The problem for the Buccaneers at running back is depth. Starter Bucky Irving, who rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie in 2024, will miss his sixth consecutive game in Week 11 with a shoulder injury.
“Bucs rookie running back Josh WIlliams has been suspended for six games without pay for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy,” Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman wrote on his official X account. “He has played in three games this season, with four carries for 11 yards.”
Williams and Wright are similar running backs who have been on similar career paths.
Williams, 5-foot-9 and 210 pounds, wasn’t selected in the 2025 NFL draft out of LSU and made the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.
It wasn’t much different than college, when Williams went from a walk-on at LSU to having 2,094 career yards of total offense and 18 touchdowns for the Tigers.
“Originally a walk-on at LSU, Williams spent five years with the program,” LSU Wire’s Alexis Yoder wrote after Williams made Tampa Bay’s 53-man roster in August. “His most productive season came in 2022 when he took 97 carries for 532 yards and six touchdowns. Last year, he took 117 carries for 482 yards and six touchdowns.”
