Someone got a little bored of wavy blonde locks and went for straight hair and a new set of bangs!
Do you like Taylor’s new look?
Taylor Swift’s New Hair – Makeover or Makeunder?
Let’s hear it!









wow, she’s barely recognizable. gorgeous
I LIKED THE WAVED MUCH MORE… with straight hair she looks like everyone else;
its amazing what a new cut can do-she looks like a whole different person.
Oh my GOD I’m your biggest fan Taylor but please put your hair back.Look in the mirror and you’ll see you look horrible ( no efence). Your most prittiest girl in the would but not any more. Please for the fans.change your hair I didn’t even reconized you wheni saw a picture of you. PLEASE!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡
why is it that celebrities always straighten their hair when their popularity surges? it drives me nuts. .. it sends such a negative message to those of us who have naturally curly hair and don’t have the means to straighten it every day.
Really! The girl straigtens her hair and thats a negative message. Shes 19…girls in general love to experiment with their hair. Maybe you need to look at yourself and be comfortable.
Totally agree with Casey.
shes been big for a while now, & shes had that same hairstyle for 2 years, i think the change was a good thing. plus it flatters her face
No no no!
She still looks pretty but she looks so much older and not mature, older and her natural curly waves made her stand out. Now she looks a lot more common.
I 100% agree. Now it’s like she’s a clone of how every other girl looks.. the curls were like her signature.. :[
its temporary for a photoshoot. chill everyone. besides, even if it werent, maybe the girl wants a change, jeez.
Big improvement.
She looks grown up
I agree w/ Amy, she does look like everyone else, but i still prefer this to the previous, i don’t think she looked all that “special” with the curls either. She’s just a beautiful but quite regular looking girl, not everyone needs to look so different, she’s still unique in spirit
Only thing bothering me is that hair looks a bit like a wig.
gorgeous. adolescence is over ! this is a pretty young lady.
and it’s just a hair style. it doesn’t mean she’ll wear it like this daily.
so many celebs curl it, straighten it, pony tail it, etc.
cut her some slack.
Her look has totally been cheapened.
She looks gorgeous but her previous hairstyle was so beautiful!
BIG improvement. Straight hair compliments her face much better.
she looks so much better…i love it!
this looks more sophisitcated and suits her face shape better. And anyway, it’s just hair people. Relax! She looks so cute.
Imo, i like her curly hair more, mainly because her hair is naturally curly and it will probably very damaging for her to straighten her hair 24/7 to keep this look up. I still think the bangs are a cute look though, and i can see why she want a change.
becuse she whants to look like a rap star but she is not i whant my old talor back please
Is it just me or does she look a lot like a blonde Adriana Lima in the second picture?
uhhh
its just you i think
It makes her look A LOT older. She looks prettier with straight hair though.
but why? She is so cute and unique with waves now she looks like everyone else..
I’d say makeover because she looks gorgeous but I love her wavy hair
i think it’s a wig, it doesn’t look natural at all
however i remember seeing her in a brown wig with the same exact style in the video of “you belong to me” and i istantly thought how beautiful she looked, more grown up and not really her style, not “cute” in any way, more sexy, but she looked really gorgeous..
GOSH, THANK YOU, Sara. No one else mentioned that it looks like a wig. It’s so obviously a wig!!!
2 ways you can tell: you can’t see her scalp (that weird center “part” point up there on top) and, despite the fact that her hair is flatter/straighter, the crown of her head is higher up…i.e. there’s a wig on top of her head. see how her head looks bigger with straight hair? yeah, makes no sense…bc it’s a wig.
So? Who cares if it’s a wig. People wear wigs.
It’s not some huge secret discovery.
Next Ashlee Simpson will be “outed” for wearing super secret colored contacts.
It’s kind of a big deal when this whole post is based on the idea that she has REALLY changed her hair.
Seconded.
It’s not this huge change as everyone is acting that is. She straightened her hair. Or bought a straight wig, whatever. It’s not as if she pulled a Rihanna and shaved her head or dyed her hair blue or became some 60 year-old man named Todd overnight.
It’s not as big of a change as everyone is making it out to be.
Some people are acting as if they’ve never straightened or curled their own hair.
i think michele gave a good answer. wearing a wig it’s no big deal at all, where did megan read we thought that?
i said that just because there are 70 other people on this board(judging by the comments) who think it’s her real hair and are mostly complaining about it..
I agree Juliette. I’ve noticed one person in particular has commented that “it’s a wig” about four or five times in different comments on here. Apparently it is a “big deal” to some people here…
I also agree with juliette and megan. There are several comments here going “it’s a wig! it’s a wig!”
I don’t get what the deal is either. It’s not as if she’s the first or last person to wear a wig.Even if it werent a wig, I dont see her hairstyle as anything to get in a frenzy about either. I was surprised at the comments here. Her hair (or wig…) is the exact same color and length it was before. So she didn’t spend fifteen minutes curling it that day. And?
I would like to point out something that nobody has acknowledged, she changed her hair for a photoshoot initially.
ahah you’re welcome!
and yes those reasons are the same that convinced me in the first time that she’ wearing a wig, i was lazy to write them down!
and i saw a better picture of her and it’s DEFINITELY a wig, it’s for a new video.
with straight hair, she looks a bit like that girl that played Donna on the 70′s show…
yup she has the exact same nose.
lol i didn’t notice at first, but now that you’re saying i can totally see the resamblance…great sight!
you’re right, she does look like her!!!
i mean “October road”.
I don’t know – she looks gorgeous but she doesn’t look like herself. I like the style, it’s edgy and sexy. But at the same time, she seems to look more girl next door who could be hot if she tried – rather than really cute and pretty, which she was with the old hair. I don’t think it’s a bad look on her, I quite like it, but I’m not sure it suits her. I know that makes no sense, I’m massively failing at explaining stuff today!
omg i like it she looks so much more mature. her image with curly hair makes her very innocent and natural but with straight hair she looks to mature and edgy. i like it both ways.
better
oh no, take it back! Now we can all see that she’s actually not that pretty.
Her new hair looks like plastic. Blah.
because it’s a wig ;p
I don’t even think that looks like her face . . .
And I think we’re all forgetting that straightened hair is not permanent. (Well, you know, not usually.) She’s had straightened hair before – anyone see the ‘Our Song’ video?
I’m actually having a really, really hard time believing that this is Taylor…
I think it’s a wig too
and she looks older…and not as cute
D: Makeunder. I like her waves.
makeunder!! or thats just a bad picture.
I like them both.. gotta switch it up.. same curly hair style all the time might get a little old!
I like curly hair more.But thats not saying this is a make under because she looks great with both.
looks like a wig
She looks great with the new style. I prefer it actually.
she looks a bit tranny here. i think it’s just the picture, i mean, i hope it’s just the picture.
this girl is ugly she looks like a guy with straight hair she should stick with it curly atleast then she looks like a girl
I hate it how people are saying that straight hair makes her look “sophisticated and grown up”. Uhh.. hello? So people with curly hair are unsophisticated and immature? ehh.. I think she looks great with both. It’s fun to switch it up, but don’t be putting stereotypes on straight hair vs curly hair people.
Well people also said that straight hair makes her look superficial and cheap. People have their stereotypes/opinions, no big deal.
she has something of Amanda Sprout (in Kyle XY) with flat hair … but it’s a total makeunder imo, her former hairdo made her look special, she had this special Taylor thing, but now she just looks like all the other blond superficial Barbies … too bad
She looooks soooo much betteeeer!!!! those curls should gave been gone a long time ago!! she looked too much like a naive little precious princess. much better now.
I love straight hair, but on her it doesn’t look so great ..to me:) She looks so much better with curly hair:)
It’s about time she got rid of the Southern Belle Prom hair.
she looks way better now…I guess she got bored with being ” cute and pretty ” all the time…she is now ( beautiful and sexy )…I love her new hair look
Her curls were so gorgeous. They made her look angelic. I guess she has the right of experimentation.
(& what is the big deal about a person appearing more mature?)
I see complaints about it everyday and I never really see the big deal about it.
With straight hair she looks less annoying.
Her look with the wavy hair was very unique, and I think she loses it with the straight hair. Still beautiful but she looks a lot more generic and less interesting. It does make her look more mature, though.
hair is nice but i think its the makeup more than anything!
She kind of looks like a tranny. I think it’s the bangs
i actually saif DAAAAAMN SHES HOT before i ever realised it. lol. there u have it. HOT!
i actually said
DAAAAAMN SHES HOT before i ever realised it. lol. there u have it. HOT!
Wow, definitely makeover. I find her rather plain in the first pic and in the second one – just wow. Hair can change a person so much.
i totally think makeunder…like the wavy hair suited her…
Amazing!
It looks very refined and sophisticated. I also like that she got rid of the black eyeliner as it cheapened her look and made her eyes look smaller.
i think the comments about her hair previously being natural are hilarious! helllooo her hair doesn’t look the way it does with curls right out of the shower or any thing!
lol that’s so true! how is she no longer natural?
I think its a wig. She’s had this hair before and it turned out to be a wig.
I think it looks worse than before, either way though.
EDIT – I actually keep looking and maybe it’s not… because it seems like it would be hard for her to hide all that hair under a wig….
-_-
I like it! True – could be a wig. Did she tone down the eye-liner, too? Nice.
p.s. These ads that automatically play are so annoying
I don’t think she toned down the eyeliner specifically, I think she just doesn’t have fake lashes on. The first picture is her at an event where she would be all done up, the other is her shopping – so she’s not wearing fake lashes and eyeshadow and such.
I think she has a pig look to her either way.
the straight hair does not suit her. she looks way harsh
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
OH MY GOD SHE LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER she actually looks pretty
i like her in both BUT i think with straight hair and this fresh make up, she looks more her age : )
she reminds me of delta goodrem..
but i think she loooks great although the straight her looks kinda like a wig.
she looks beautiful though
I don’t get what all the hooplah is about over straight hair. i could understand if it were a more drastic change but this isn’t a drastic change. i feel bad for taylor, she can’t blink without everyone having an opinion. she straightens her hair and everyone jumps all over it. that must suck.
i usually think she’s adorable, but the straight her makes her look a little like a man. it is def makeunder.
Wow, now she looks like every other blonde chick. She looked so pretty and unique with her curly locks… =( Hopefully this look is just temporary.
I don’t know… I say makeunder.
love it!!
makes her look older and more mature. i like it both ways tho
makeunder
such a pretty girl…love the bangs.
hard to say if its a makover tho
Yuck curly hair all the way
She still has a nice face and good skin either way.
Anyone else notice the eyebrows? They frame her face better nwhen they’re thicker.
i usually cant stand her face. at all. but she looks cute here! with the straight
thank you thank you thank you
She looked so much better with the wavy hair!
She’s still pretty though
I don’t know if it’s a wig or not but it sure does look different (not necessarily in a bad way). Taylor is really pretty in my opinion, and I love her curls. The straight hair makes her look almost unrecognizable. She looks so much more mature, and less… Taylor Swift-y. She has a pretty face, and is it just me or does anyone else think her eyebrows (their color, more specifically) look different? She looks good any way, but not as cute as the Taylor we all know and love. But personally, I prefer the curls, because they stood out.
She always looks pretty – but now she looks heaps like adrienne palicki. I never even thought that before seeing these photos hahah
She looks like lili in tekken to me . . Does she?
This is so shocking,i’m 100% juge fan of taylor swift,after thathorrible picture of her it dropped to 60%. her curls kinda describes her, everyone knows taylor swift for her beautiful blonde curls. I tought that taylor swift would be a one of a kind celebrity that she would always try to be herself and not like someone else. in describing her new look,please no ofence to what i’m going to say but, her straight hair makes her nose look large, it looks as if she has bad teeth in her mouth, she looks skinner. Someone have to tell that girl something, take her infront the mirror and explain it to her.Taylor swift is a very beautiful girl but i think i’m gonna loose my role model and my inspiration.It don’t look like a wig.
I wrote a hot story about two lesbians. With straight hair, she looks like the sexy blonde I envisioned. She’s beautiful both ways.
Idk..I think she can pull both off. I think people are overwhelmed simply because the two styles are so different.
Uh, it’s not a wig. There are many pictures of T-Swift with straight hair, and this is one of them. She’s beautiful either way.
ahhh when i first saw that straight haired picture in Seventeen i didnt even realize it was her
i think she looks sweeter with wavy hair
shes prettier with the new hair but i think its a wig
Gross. You must all be ugly if you think the straight hair is better.
NOW she looks like a woman. Not a little girl!
