When she was just 16, Taylor Swift famously released her self-titled debut album, with the artwork showing her with ringlets of thick blonde curly hair.

Then a country pop star, she was as famed for her luscious curly locks as much as her angsty self-written tunes.

But as she transitioned into pop, the singer started to appear with straighter hair – first showing off a straightened look at the Country Music Awards in 2010, then appearing on various magazine covers – including Vogue – with a sleek ‘do.

By the time she released her fourth album, fan favourite Red in 2012, Taylor appeared with straight locks more often than not. Years of straightening her hair left it short and choppy and when she debuted her seventh album Lover in 2019, Taylor appeared with a thin bob.

Now, five years on, her hair looks thicker and healthier than ever – which celebrity stylists have revealed is down to a combination of clever colouring and styling tricks – as well as high-end, tape in extensions.

Fans have shared photos of the star playing at iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango ball in 2019.

Sporting highwaisted multi-coloured shorts and a frilly jacket, the singer had a shoulder length locks – which are significantly thinner than what she sports today.
