Taylor Swift's Bold New Haircut Has Fans Talking

Taylor Swift cut a few more inches off her hair.

Swift, 36, debuted an even shorter mane on Friday, October 2, via her official Taylor Nation’s Instagram Story. In the pic, the singer’s honey blonde hair was cut to her shoulders, seemingly with more layers than she had at the 2026 MTV VMAs on Sunday, September 27. Her hair was styled in loose curls with her bangs blown out over her forehead.

For glam, Swift donned soft makeup including glowy skin, winged eyeliner, long lashes and pink lips. She wore a maroon sweater with a button-up neck and soft collar. The “Patient Zero” singer styled her top with tan pleated pants and a black leather belt with gold hardware.
