"Bejeweled" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). She wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff. It is a synth-laden synth-pop and bubblegum pop track with ringing synth arpeggios and elements of disco and electronica. The lyrics are about self-worth; Swift said the lyrics were also a statement of her return to pop music with Midnights after the 2020 folk-oriented albums Folklore and Evermore. The song was released for limited-time download via Swift's website on October 25, 2022.
Music critics complimented the song's upbeat production and considered the lyrics empowering. "Bejeweled" was accompanied by a music video written and directed by Swift; influenced by "Cinderella", its cast included Swift, Antonoff, the actress Laura Dern, the band Haim, the burlesque artist Dita Von Teese, and the makeup artist Pat McGrath. The song peaked at number eight on the Billboard Global 200 and within the top 10 on charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines, and the United States. It received certifications in Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Swift included "Bejeweled" in the set list of her sixth headlining concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
