In the video, Gwen, 53, used audio from the Barbie movie, in which Barbie is shown the process of ageing.
Alongside the emotional words and song, Gwen added a montage of photos and videos of herself from childhood to the present day.
In one image, Blake Shelton’s wife appeared unrecognizable as a young woman.
The throwback shot showed Gwen sitting back in a modest summer dress and smiling shyly at the camera.
The pop singer sported her natural brunette hair, which fell in voluminous waves in comparison to her current bleached blond, pin-straight look.
Other shots from a similar age showed Gwen all grown up, but retaining her dark hair, thinner lips, less defined nose, and rounder eyes.
GONE TOO FAR?
In 2004, Gwen told People: “I’m hoping my children will save me from my vanity. If it doesn’t, plastic surgery is an option … It sucks to have to grow older. We all have to accept it.”
However, one doctor shared his beliefs that Gwen was already deep in plastic surgery, and wasn’t “accepting” the ageing process.
Dr. Richard Westreich – a top New York-based facial plastic surgeon – told The U.S. Sun: “Gwen looks to have spent around $100,000 on cosmetic procedures and tweakments, which means she won’t need a facelift in ten years’ time.
“But she’s at that inflection point where the motivation should be to look fabulous and age-appropriate, and while she looks good right now, I hope she doesn’t over-pursue and end up looking bizarre rather than great for her age.
“She’s at that cusp and shouldn’t be wanting to look 40 forever and right now she already looks a decade younger than she is.
“Gwen also has these moments where she looks oddly swollen and that’s probably indicative of her having facial tightening treatments done like FaceTite.”
He explained: “Skin tightening is a procedure which tightens the face and where a little probe goes underneath the skin through a little puncture and it heats up the area under the skin to create tightening.
“You get swollen for a couple of weeks, which is why Gwen might look oddly swollen at certain points.
“If she has had skin tightening then it can create an extra snatched jawline, but there are no incisions for these tightening procedures, and you get everything tightened up.
WHO’S THAT GIRL?
In the past, critics suggested that Gwen took her rumored plastic surgery too far.
After the No Doubt alum took the stage at the CMT Awards, this year, fans again accused her of going under the knife.
One commenter wrote: “I’m getting to where I don’t recognize her anymore.”
Another speculated: “Wow..that is an extreme face lift.”
A third critic commented: “The plastic slanted brows are giving me 2023 Madonna vibes. It’s a nope for me.”
Someone else chimed in: “I almost didn’t recognize you.”
A fifth hater commented: “Scary plastic look.”
