2012:  Change the old image step by step with “Red”

In October 2014, Taylor released a 1989 album, selling 1.28 million copies in its first week in the US, becoming one of the most successful commercial albums in music history since 2002. The album also helped Taylor become the first female artist to have three albums that sold more than 1 million copies in the first week, and proved that the shift from country music Pop music was totally not wrong, and precluded the worry of the famous female singer and her boss.

1989 was well received by contemporary music critics, as they embraced her ability to transform her musical style, and the experimental production of the album. This continues to be a music product with great commercial success for Taylor Swift.

With this comeback, Taylor chose the Lob hairstyle as her “partner”. This short hairstyle made her look more mature and stunning.

2017: “Reputation” – “The old Taylor was dead”

This album marked a complete change in image, from an innocent girl in the early days of singing to an attractive mature girl and now an image of a “snake”, ” insidious” and formidable. This album is considered Taylor’s response to unfounded criticism from colleagues and journalists. This is not only a strong response but also an important milestone marking the turning point in Taylor’s image. Like Taylor’s famous quote in the MV of the theme song: “Sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now/ Why?/ Oh, Cause she’s dead”.

As she molded her image, sometimes she looked chic and mysterious with the slick side-parted straight hairstyle like the pic on the left. Sometimes she looked wild and sexy with a messy curly texture like the right one. Taylor Swift hairstyles are so versatile, right?

2019: The seventh album “Me!”

Taking pink as the main color throughout all album and theme song’s MV, Taylor decided to dye hair in blonde-pink ombre. We see a “girly” Taylor has come back. Her hair color makes her look beautiful and brilliant like butterflies.
