Taylor Swift’s Hair Evolution

Taylor Swift’s Hair Evolution — When Taylor Swift started in the music industry in 2006, she was easily recognizable due to her tight, curly locks that fit perfectly with her sweet, country girl image. While she rocked the curly look for a number of years, Taylor then began to slowly change her hairstyles as the years went on. For one era, she went with a completely straight look, and then, she eventually chopped it all off for a shorter and sleeker style. Of course, fans of Taylor will also always remember the ‘Bleachella’ era, where she dyed her hair platinum blonde for several months in 2016. Eventually, she went back to a curly look again, albeit much tamer than what we saw when she made her mark on the industry so many years ago. Needless to say, Taylor has rocked so many different hairstyles over the years, and we’ve rounded up all of them right here! Keep scrolling through the gallery to check out a timeline of her hair looks.
