Taylor Swift has switched up her signature look once again, stepping out with an even shorter haircut that puts her natural curls front and center.
While the singer has rocked shorter styles before, including a similar cut earlier this year, some fans are specifically loving her latest transformation, with her thick, side-swept bangs no longer there, or drawing harsh reactions online. Now, fans are curious to see if this cut is here to stay, or if she’ll go back to longer locks soon. Read more about her hair transformation below.
Taylor Swift Debuted Her New Curly Lob On Instagram
The “Fate of Ophelia” singer debuted her latest haircut in a new Instagram post on October 2nd while celebrating a major career milestone. The singer showed off the look as she celebrated her fifth Official Chart Double, with “Patient Zero” and The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore charting simultaneously in the U.K.
For the new look, Taylor’s honey-blonde hair was cut to about shoulder length and styled in loose, bouncy curls, making it noticeably shorter than the style she wore at the MTV VMAs just days earlier. She kept her signature bangs, which were styled thick and swept across her forehead and toward the side, giving the lob a distinctly retro feel.
Fans React To Taylor’s Latest Haircut On Social Media
Although the pop star has experimented with shorter hair several times throughout her career, including her iconic bob during the 1989 and Reputation eras, some fans were especially excited by this latest version.
The haircut is already receiving a lot more positive reception than some of her latest styles, with her thick bangs drawing extra attention, as fans and other internet users labeled them as “horrendous.”
“This hair is the cutest,” commented an Instagram user.
“We’re slowly getting closer to the Reputation hairstyle,” wrote another, referencing how she still has yet to re-record her popular sixth studio album.
“I’m loving the hair,” commented a user.
“This hair is gorgeous,” added a fan.
