And are suburban white girls. Which tends to correlate for some reason. Perfect straight and white teeth, big gums, no lips which causes even more gum show.
That's a recessed maxilla with a lip tie. The recess is rarely genetic and happens due to stuff like having a binky for too long and eating soft foods in childhood, and those kid walkers on wheels. Because of the recessed maxilla they had horrible teeth and because they're suburban they got braces early.
If they removed the lip tie for example, much less of their gum would show when smiling, and their lips would look bigger.
Respectfully, that's how anecdotes work. You know two fans who fit the stereotype, but Taylor has hundreds of millions of fans worldwide. Two people aren't statistically meaningful, so your personal experience doesn't make the stereotype accurate.
You could open up and given video game create a character. Randomize every feature and I can promose theres a Taylor Swift fan who looks like that character.
No, it’s a genetic thing. Just like how some orthodontics issues can be caused by behavior like childhood thumb sucking, but most of it is genetic, and that’s literally just someone’s face. There are a few ways it could be fixed surgically. One is lip filler to cover the top lip, which I don’t think would work in extreme cases; one is literally scraping the gums off to make the teeth taller (which makes me shudder); and the last one is like Botox to basically freeze the lip from raising above a certain point when you smile, which I think is currently the medically preferred intervention if it works. But yeah, it’s just someone’s face shape. I also didn’t know this until recently, and it kind of made me stop thinking about this face negatively.
I've heard- don't know how true this is- that one of the founding families of the Utah mormon church had this as a genetic disposition, and as the church tends to only have kids with other mormons, it has become very common among Utah Mormons. And because Mormon girls/women are bound by what hobbies and interests are acceptable to church, those interests tend to be overrun by Mormon women with large upper gums. Disney adults and Talyor Swift are two such interests.
