- Taylor Swift Fans Ask Her To Part Ways With Her ‘Crazy’ Thick Bangs After Latest Red Carpet Appearance: ‘Hair Never Slays’ (shefinds.com)
Taylor Swift’s Grammys 2025 appearance sparked a social media debate about her signature bangs. The 35-year-old singer wore a dazzling red Vivienne Westwood gown to the Los Angeles event, but her hairstyle stole the show, for better or worse.
Some fans criticized Swift’s “thick” bangs on platforms like TikTok, with some saying they were “confusingly thick” and others suggesting they were bordering on “mullet territory.” One TikTok user even posted a video analyzing Swift’s look, declaring her hair “diabolical.” While the user complimented her makeup, they ultimately deemed the overall look a “miss.”
Many others joined the online conversation, some agreeing with the critique of the bangs, while others defended Swift’s style. Some questioned who advises Swift on her hairstyle choices, while her supporters simply found her “gorgeous.”
Swift has sported bangs for well over a decade, first debuting them during a photoshoot back in 2011. At the time, she shared her new look on social media, explaining it as a spontaneous decision.
In a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, Swift explained her decision to get bangs, stating it felt like the right time to try something new. She expressed her excitement about departing from her usual look while still maintaining a recognizable appearance.
Over the years, Swift has experimented with a variety of hairstyles, including her bleached bob at the 2016 Met Gala and a faux curly bob for the 2023 premiere of her Eras Tour film. Her bangs, however, remain a constant, continuing to both delight and divide her fanbase.
