Ugly Beauty
{
Ugly Beauty is the fourteenth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released on December 26, 2018, by Sony. The album was co-produced by Starr Chen, Razor Chiang, Howe Chen, Øzi, and Tsai herself. Musically, it blends elements of pop, reggae, electronic, and hip-hop, and thematically explores the breaking of conventional beauty standards and the duality of human emotions. Tsai expressed her intent to "unveil the ugliness hidden beneath the surface of perfection and uncover the emotions that we struggle to bury".
The album was released in physical format in Taiwan, where it became the best-selling album of 2019. In Mainland China, it was released digitally and, as of April 15, 2025, has sold over 950,000 digital copies, making it the highest-selling digital album by a Hong Kong or Taiwanese female artist in the region.
Ugly Beauty received eight nominations at the Golden Melody Awards and ultimately won Album of the Year, while the track "Womxnly" was awarded Song of the Year. Following the album's release, Tsai launched her fifth concert tour, the Ugly Beauty World Tour, starting in Taipei on December 30, 2019, and concluding in Xiamen on August 18, 2024.
