Remember when Taylor Swift was just a little girl with a big head of curls?
Since her days as a curly-haired country star, Swift has graduated to major pop stardom and more than a few sleeker, edgier haircuts. If there’s anything we know about it Swift, it’s that every album cycle has different hair. With Fearless, it was her long natural curls; with Red, it was straight long hair and bangs that she later cropped into a super cute lob. When the starlet launched 1989, she adopted a choppy, short bob which she later bleached to an uber-edgy platinum.
Swift is constantly reinventing her look based on her music, which is why fans were speculating like crazy when she was spotted rocking her natural curls for the first time in years.
Of course, once the starlet was seen with her throwback hairstyle, #TaylorsCurlsAreBack started trending on Twitter.

But Taylor’s curls are not just any curls. While Taylor Swift the person might rock some curls on a lazy day in her apartment, Taylor Swift the artist is a carefully calculated machine. Taylor Swift the artist does not go out knowing she’ll be seen with a new haircut unless it means something. Taylor Swift’s hair is full of secrets.
This is exactly why fans are speculating that Taylor Swift’s curly hair signifies a new era — one that sees Swift go back to her country roots.
Fans are buzzing!

And the evidence is pretty strong.

And here she is rocking curls again while guesting on a Nelly song.

It makes so much sense. The singer has a new boyfriend, some new drama, a new haircut, and she hasn’t released music in a very long time. It’s happening. TS6 is coming, we just aren’t sure if it’s going to be country or not.
