“It was a pretty interesting morning because they were like ‘We’re thinking we’re gonna do maybe bangs, maybe some extensions,’ " she says in the video. “And I’m like ‘You know what? Just cut it. this isVogue, why not.’ So I have bangs now.”

Although 13 years have passed, Swift continues to own the bangs, while making subtle changes to them.
Recently, on the second night of her final U.S. tour stop on Nov. 2, she took the stage in a bright orange Versace bodysuit, her blonde hair down and straight. While nothing seemed unusual at first, fans quickly noticed that herhair looked different.
However, others X users were not convinced about the bang trim and wrote that they believed Swift simply “swooped” her bangs to the side.
