Highlights

Taylor Swift has switched up the style and color of her luminous locks throughout her impressive career, but what is the A-lister's actual hair color? Swift originally started with her natural look, a curly blonde hairstyle. As her career has evolved, so has her style.

Although Swift has been known to primarily appear as a blonde, with varying shades and cuts, she's also been known to deviate from her usual lighter color.

When Taylor Swift first started out, few could have predicted she would shoot to the level of stardom she's reached today. Her parents' separation deeply affected her music and career. Currently, the singer is worth a massive amount, and is continuing to add to her current $1.1 billion net worth. Swift has written numerous songs beloved by fans.

The Blank Space singer's ability to connect with her audiences, and her lyrics - which include themes many can relate to - along with her talent and star power have earned Swift the adoration and respect of fans across the world. Swift has also been known to give back to fans, and some had the best reaction to being surprised by Swift when they were buying her album.

Taylor Swift Has Always Been A Natural Blonde

Many "Swifties" (as Swift's loyal fans are called) are interested in learning about their favorite celebrity. Along with wanting to know about her romances, favorite hobbies and her workout and skincare plan, some are interested in the actual color of Swift's gorgeous (usually) golden locks, her multiple hairstyle changes over the years, and how her ever-evolving looks might relate to her growth as a person and artist.

Like other natural blondes, as Swift has gotten older, the natural shade of her hair has darkened. Mainly sticking with her natural blonde look, the singer has explored and tried out several different colors.

A natural blonde, and true performer, Swift enjoys exploring new looks for appearances on-stage, in music videos, and attending other events, including awards shows, etc.

It has also been said that Swift's natural blonde hair has darkened over the years.

Taylor Swift's Hairstyles Have Evolved Over Her Career

Taylor Swift has changed her hair color dramatically for performances on-stage and music videos. She can surprise with style, nearly unrecognizable with a dark hair color. Other times she stuns with a much brighter look than her usual sunshine shade. At times, the star has made bold moves with her own hair color.

As Swift transitioned to a pop star, her style began to change. Around 2010, she appeared with a darker shade of blonde, and her coils had straightened. The Cruel Summer singer could often be seen wearing bright red lipstick, now one of her signature looks. After her copper color, in 2017 she made a switch to platinum blonde, but it seems Swift thought the color was a miss, according to ShowBizCheatSheet.

"We very much wanted to give Taylor a new look. And make her into a sort of rock n' roll chick," Anna Wintour, who reportedly suggested the hairstyle, told Today. Swift paired her bleached hair with incredibly dark lipstick for the 2016 Met Gala, and stayed platinum blonde for Coachella.

The Shake It Off singer told Elle how she felt about the color. "Fashion is all about playful experimentation. If you don't look back at pictures of some of your old looks and cringe, you're doing it wrong. See: Bleachella."

Her blonde hair has been golden, copper, ash blonde, platinum and Swift has reportedly highlighted and layered her blonde hair to provide depth and texture to her luscious locks. She's also experimented with pastel colors, including pink and blue at different times amid her golden waves. Swift has gone back to her lengthy golden locks in recent years, and still impresses many with changes she makes for videos and performances.
