At Cottesloe Beach in Perth, Australia, the 22-year-old enjoyed playing in the waves with friends.

Taylor Swift was spotted having fun and sunning on the beach in Perth, Australia.

Taylor was wearing clothes that would have made a Barbie doll from the 1950s pleased. Her monochromatic black-and-white bikini gave off a nostalgic, retro vibe.

Tortoiseshell sunglasses and a striking crimson lipstick completed Taylor’s look as accessories.

Australia is the nation that the well-known individual traveled through on her tour. Later that day, she entertained her admirers with a show.

After basking in the sun, Taylor cooled off in the ocean with a nice swim.

Under a brilliant sun, Taylor and her friends enjoyed a wonderful day of relaxation on the sandy beach.

On her recent trip, Taylor had become an expert at striking a balance between work and leisure. Making the most of everything the place has to offer, she made sure to visit the beach before her concert.
