Taylor Swift’s New Bangs: Yay or Nay?

With her Speak Now tour behind her, Taylor Swift has enjoyed a bit of a break, shopping in New York and creating homemade snow globes. And Thursday, she shared the results of another new project: a haircut.

The country starlet (and an unidentified pal) took to her Twitter page this morning to share a photo with fans. Though Swift kept her long layers and face-framing style, the noticeable change was feathery bangs that hang down to her eyebrows.

She’s not the only star to share photos from a haircut on Twitter this week; Tuesday, Kellan Lutz shaved his head and posted pics of the new look on WhoSay.com. Tell us: What do you think of Swift’s new look?

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry’s Glam AMA Looks: All the Details

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were two big winners last night at the American Music Awards — not to mention, two belles of the ball. The singers — and close friends — sported flawless skin and eyes and lips that totally popped. So we talked to their makeup artists to get the scoop on their clean looks — and how you can emulate them at home.

“The American Music Awards show itself was the inspiration for Taylor’s look,” makeup artist Lorrie Turk tells PEOPLE. “I wanted to reflect the youthful, fun vibe of this event. I wanted her stunning, youthful complexion to really stand out.”

Turk first used a foundation brush to smooth CoverGirl’s Natureluxe Silk Foundation onto Swift’s skin. She applied concealer on the inner corners of her eyes, and used CG TruBlend Minerals Blush in Shimmering Sands on the singer’s cheeks. (Swift is one of CoverGirl’s celebrity spokesmodels.)

Country music’s finest came out to celebrate at the CMA Awards in Nashville Wednesday night — and their outfits did not disappoint.

Entertainer of the year Taylor Swift had an ethereal red carpet moment in J. Mendel, while Miranda Lambert opted for a glimmering black Haute Hippie gown. LeAnn Rimes added some drama in a ruffled, patterned peplum gown, and Kellie Pickler picked a silver Pamella Roland dress.

Taylor Swift’s Curly Coif: Inspired by the Seasons?

Taylor Swift is known for her perfectly-coiled ringlets, but catch her at the right time and you might find her with a flatiron.

“It’s a very seasonal thing for me — I always feel the need to straighten my hair when it’s winter,” the perfumer tells PEOPLE. “In the winter months I’m like, ‘Oh, what am I going to do today? I think I’ll straighten my hair today.’”

Although it doesn’t appear that the songstress ever has a bad hair day, she says when she’s not loving the way her coif looks, she conceals it by “putting on a beanie. Or a side braid.”

But thankfully, those typical curls don’t take much effort. “A 3/4-in. curling iron and bobby pins,” she says of the essentials. “I don’t really put anything on it because if you have curly and you put too much product on it, it can get crunchy, which nobody likes.” Tell us: What do you think of Swift’s seasonal hair tactics?

“It’s a spark, a connection, a rush of something new,” Taylor Swift says in a teaser clip for her new fragrance, Wonderstruck. Due on shelves this October, the scent is sparking a lot of buzz — and the full-length commercial, which debuts Wednesday night during the X Factor at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, will likely get fans even more excited.

The clip features a mystery man, an elegant mansion and even a carousel, and of course Swift, who glides quietly around all of it in a Christian Siriano gown. “Once you’ve been struck, you’ll never be the same again,” she shares, as her song “Enchanted” plays in the background. In our exclusive behind-the-scenes photo (above), Swift gets ready for the shoot, receiving a touch-up on her ruby-red lips.

Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck Ad Revealed

It’s “the beginning of something magical,” Taylor Swift teases in the debut ad for her first-ever fragrance, Wonderstruck. It certainly appears that way — the whimsical photo features the singer in a gorgeous gown, surrounded by trees and chandeliers.

Due out in October, Swift’s scent was naturally a personal venture, inspired by her song “Enchanted.” “I wrote the lyric, ‘I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home’ … about the first time you meet someone,” she explained in a release. “A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you. It’s exciting to think that Wonderstruck will play a role in creating some of those memories.”

The fruity, floral fragrance boasts notes of raspberry, apple blossom, golden amber and sandalwood. “It was fascinating to learn that you can layer so many different scents to create a beautiful end result,” Swift told WWD of the creation process. “Coming up with ideas for this fragrance and the packaging and message of it reminded me of what it’s like to plan an album launch. It goes out into the world and becomes a part of people’s daily lives.” Tell us: Will you buy a bottle of Wonderstruck?

Taylor Swift is no stranger to finding a creative outlet for her emotions, so it’s no surprise she’s channeling some of those feelings into her own perfume. After announcing last fall she would debut her first signature fragrance in collaboration with Elizabeth Arden, now the details of her new scent, Wonderstruck, have finally been released. “Wearing perfume is such a unique way to create memories. Like songs, a scent can take you back and allow you to relive a moment in time,” Swift said in a release. And everything from the perfume’s name to the specific ingredients of the scent were drawn from the singer’s personal life experiences. “I wrote the lyric, ‘I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home,’ for the song ‘Enchanted’ about the first time you meet someone,” she said. “A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you. It’s exciting to think that Wonderstruck will play a role in creating some of those memories.” Swift will help shape those memories with a gourmand floral scent, boasting notes of vibrant fruits including raspberry and apple blossom, plus notes of golden amber and sandalwood.
