"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 an upbeat synth-pop, hyperpop, and bubblegum pop track with ringing synth arpeggios and elements of disco and electronica. The lyrics see a narrator affirming her self-worth upon being unappreciated by her partner; Swift said they were also a metaphorical 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. Swift wrote and directed the music video for "Bejeweled", influenced by "Cinderella". It stars Swift, Antonoff, Laura Dern, Haim, Dita Von Teese, and 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 platinum or higher certifications in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and New Zealand. Swift included "Bejeweled" in the set list of her sixth headlining concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
