Taylor Swift shows off her natural beauty as she goes make-up free.

Taylor Swift proves A-listers don't need a second skin of fake tan and enough bling to set off the airport metal detector.

Instead, the country singer looked effortlessly striking without a hint of make-up as she boarded a plane as Los Angeles airport LAX.

She also abandoned any potential diva behaviour by carrying her own guitar case, rather than relying on her entourage to wheel it on a trolley.

Natural beauty: Taylor Swift boards a flight without any make-up

The 22-year-old looked cute as a button as she opted for a casual outfit to travel in, wearing a maroon and cream striped sweater.

She teamed the jumper with brown cropped trousers and tied her blonde hair into a loose plait that swept around her neck to rest on her shoulder.

The Love Story songbird appeared on The Ellen Degeneres show with Zac Efron, sparking speculation of a romance following their natural chemistry.

Taylor revealed she taught the High School Musical star how to play guitar, before embarking on a duet of Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People.

The cheeky duo changed the lyrics, with Swift singing: 'She (Ellen) always asks me who I'm dating when I'm on the show... and I don't know why.

'But it gets five million hits on YouTube.'

Csual: Taylor opted for a cream and maroon striped sweater

But Taylor has overlooked Vanessa Hudgens' former beau for her date to the American Music Awards, by picking an unknown date.

Cancer suffered Kevin McGuire was asked to attend after his sister set up a Facebook campaign trying to find him a celebrity date to his prom.

Taylor replied to the appeal, saying: 'Kevin I'm so sorry but I won't be able to make it to your prom.

'But I was wondering, the ACM Awards are coming up. Would you be my date?'
