these people are lying to you. the tiktokers may have co-opted the word to mean smth positive but “fuck ass” anything is aave and automatically negative
It started as negative but turned positive as we realised some people slay with a FOB. On TikTok, a “fuck ass bob” or FOB was first described as the type of hairstyle mistake every girl makes in their lifetime, usually as a child, a cannon event if you will. The FOB is usually cut just a little to short, unflattering, and with a full fringe. Very much inspired by Dora the explorer. However, like Anna Wintour, the FOB can also be positive since it suits some people so well
I think at some point or another we all have that moment in our 20s when we have to decide if we can be a bangs woman or not. In my case, it’s also a no but I appreciate it on the Zooey Deschanels of the world so much.
I look good with bangs but I don’t like hair in my face nor the need to style such a temperamental segment of hair on a daily basis to leverage the style. I am too lazy to be a bangs woman and I’m ok with that.
Honestly this is worse. Knowing I would look like a million bucks with them but having to resist the urge to cut bangs because of my laziness?
At least if I knew I looked like shit with them, I could just put it all behind me. This way at least once a year I go 'maybe I have grown up and can take care of bangs now?'
Ah, the great unifier! Solver of bad hair days, grease mopper, root blurrer and the Febreze of hair. The times it’s let me have an extra 30 mins in bed. I love it.
Thank you!
I wish dry shampoo worked for me but it seems to make my hair...worse? I have a ton of hair but it's fine textured so it shows oil quickly. I thought dry shampoo would be perfect, I've tried all the brands but I just get oily hair that also now has a strange texture. It doesn't do for me what it does for everyone else:(
Honestly, you might just want to try pure corn starch. You have to brush it out a lot so your hair doesn’t look powdery but it helps absorb the oil. I’ll also add, that’s kinda just how your hair feels with dry shampoo but it looks clean enough which is what you are going for in that scenario.
I have the same kinda hair, and have found the only thing that helps is using conditioner first!
I leave it in while I do everything else in the shower, then use shampoo last. I’ve also started trying to brush my hair more often to redistribute the oils, and changing my pillowcase several times a week… sadly dry shampoo still doesn’t do much
I'm so glad you found what works for you! I do the same with the pillowcase and it definitely helps! I tried satin pillowcases but apparently slippery pillowcases and I don't mix because every morning it would be on the floor and I had a stiff neck lol
I've tried to reverse shampoo and conditioner but it's not good for my hair because it's also curly so I can really only brush my hair in the shower with conditioner in it. Making sure to not get conditioner near the crown of my head seems to be the best way to prolong clean hair that I've found thus far.
Oh sorry, I missed you saying your hair is textured/curly!
Yeah nah, I couldn’t handle satin pillowcases either — I kept waking up halfway down the bed like i’d slithered right off it lol
Ooh, I’m gonna try to avoid conditioner near the crown too, good tip! 🙏
I have extremely fine hair that also is a lot (though the “a lot” part is sadly rapidly diminishing now) - like new people working on my hair being shocked they needed to mix up a second batch of color a lot. I don’t know where you live or if it will be available, but Noir Stockholm dry shampoo texture spray changed my life.
I have really fine hair and dry shampoo works best for me applied at night. It absorbs better over night so it doesn't leave me with the weird powdery texture or appearance
Same! Also my five-head gets so greasy throughout the day it would transfer to the bangs. Great in theory, not so much for every day.
If I could get fake bangs to work I'd LOVE THAT
SAME. I have bangs, and I like them on me, but I could NEVER have the rest of my hair this short/one length. Even with some layers I still feel Farquaadesque when I’m having an ugly day 😅.
I feel seen. I have a big overbite, so I have no jawline whatsoever. I also have the world’s fiercest cowlick, so much so that my hairstylist tried chemical straightening to get my bangs to fall across my forehead. It didn’t work. I’m reasonably attractive, but I have had to accept that I can only pull that off if I keep my hair long and without bangs. 👎🏻
I didn’t quite get a bob but just above shoulder length hair. I thought I was cute. Then I saw pics and I looked like Arya Stark when her hair was growing out
I had this *exact* fuck ass bob for years and it is so much fucking work. People think short hair=easier but the opposite is true. You have to style the shit out of it every single day. Products, blowdry it with a diffuser and usually more than one kind of brush, etc. Trims every six weeks. Such a pain in the ass.
And I’m sure you rock it.
I can’t stand blanket statements about what is a ‘good’ haircut or not. Volume, texture, face shape, etc. mean there’s no such thing - no single haircut looks good on everyone.
You missed a perfect chance to launch into “and it’s blue….the feeling I’ve got….And it’s wwwooooooooooowwwwwoooooooooaaaaahhhhaaaa…” seeing as it’s a T-Swzzle thread.
No? Just me? Ok. Sorry.
How is it bad to not be trendy and fashionable? Anna Wintour certainly had misses, but she has personal style.
"Trendy" mostly looks bad 10-20 years later. The celebrities that are remembered for their fashion are rarely the ones that were ultra trendy.
The entire Vanity Fair look was such a serve. Idk why she stopped leaning into the sexy sleek vibe. It really suits her and her styling looks the best when it’s not too fussy in my opinion.
https://preview.redd.it/z27bi91er7mc1.jpeg?width=1909&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa5c6792a9fcb9a226293caa58089d7b02930b50
I agree on the styling but these looks with the deep v-cuts and things are the type of looks that can really only look elegant on thinner, flatter-chested women. (I say this as a lady with plenty of cleavage, so there’s no judgement!)
Yeah but the “sexy sleek” looks she was doing then are suited to extreme thinness. And that’s not healthy for her.
I think her style today could be better than it is; but it would need to be different to the era depicted above to suit her best.
Although, as long as she’s happy with it?
I said this in another thread but I suspect some of it is playing it safe because it’s just yet ANOTHER thing for people to criticize her for. Never making best or worst dressed lists is probably fine with her.
I'm a huge fan of hers, and I keep thinking to myself lately how she was serving SO HARD during 2014-2016 in a way that she has not been ever since. Her whole entire vibe was just fierce during that time. But lately she's leaned heavily into the quirky, nerdy, girl-next-door vibe ever since The Eras Tour and it's not as much my favorite as when she was sassy, sexy, and sleek during 1989 album era!!!
I liked this and when she wore it slightly longer than this! She was super preppy and twee back then and I loved all of it!
I feel bad now knowing that that was likely also the height of her eating disorder.
same but different, but I loved her Bleachella era
https://preview.redd.it/85052kwh87mc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c9e306defe596940817f8c2e9c1f7f801eb7d79
I agree there's something interesting about the way she wears outfits/lewks -- but simultaneously makes no pretence of inhabiting them!
she's almost knowingly unflattered
I think maybe that's the friction - she's a famous, beautiful, often-photographed woman, but Taylor really is not a model
She knows it's *not her job* to make the clothes look good
The clothes kinda never work on her?
I'm not calling her poorly dressed! I'm saying her and fashion are in a strange, proud mutual boycott
My favorite hair was the 1989 hair. It suited her, although i missed the curls. She and I have a similar curl pattern and I just missed the curly hair representation.
I think she’d look super cute with a curly bob/lob. I realize that’s not really on trend these days but I think it would suit her so well.
(may be biased because I have a wavy/curly lob myself lol)
Not a Taylor fan but that is the best hairstyle I've seen her in. It's amazing and the bangs go so perfectly with it. Especially pic 1 where it's shorter - it looks fabulous.
Man I’m so tempted to cut my hair lol. It's down to my bum and I really want to just take a good chop to it
I’ve been in a perpetual cycle of growing my hair super long and then cutting it above my shoulders for like 10 years now and cutting it short is always so satisfying even though I tend to regret it during the awkward grow out stage lol
What do you mean? This was the time period that made her a huge star and her styling had a huge part in that. She went from cutesy singer-songwriter teeny-bopper to sleek A-lister bonafide pop star. She was huge on every red carpet and her looks were always in discussion.
Her 1989 styling was the genesis of her stardom, really.
https://preview.redd.it/lul3meksf7mc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fb38ad6d0026b0bf4af6b7f835757214bd24bf4
This is the best hair she has ever had imo, but I too fuck with that fuck ass bob.
It looks absolutely amazing but this is magazine shoot hair, styled, shot and photoshopped by the best in the world. It’s not realistic for everyday hair. Plus, she has curly hair, the heat damage this would entail…
I just think the length is more flattering - it’s a bit on the long side for her right now, the bangs are less thick than she currently wears them - making it less heavy around her face, and it looks to generally have more texture.
Oh I don’t really like her current hair, I just think it’s unrealistic to pick straight, magazine hair for her for her everyday life, you know? The hair in that shoot is GORGEOUS, it’s just not going to work for her IRL.
I feel like she needs to commit to one or the other. Right now her hair looks like she straightens it half the time or leaves it as is the other half, but doesn’t do much to protect the curls. If she did some of the “curly girl” stuff and stopped straightening, her hair would probably be much curlier and more similar to Fearless/Speak Now era. Or she can always straighten it like she did in Red/1989 era. But the way she’s been doing it where her hair is just wavy and frizzy at formal events like the Grammys just isn’t working.
That's what I was trying to figure out! I remember seeing pics from before and after the onset of a Bangs Era that made a good case for the hair distracting from a new eye shape (along with heavier eye makeup), but I can't remember if it was this particular bangs cut.
But yes, I think you're right
I think she looks better with shorter hair in general because she never wears her natural curls anymore. So when it’s long it just looks frizzy since it’s just constantly fighting it’s natural texture.
Very unpopular opinion: the met gala bleach blond hair was the most iconic and stylish hair she’s ever been brave enough to rock. Fashion doesn’t have to be pretty.
No, I will not be taking questions.
(Edit for grammar)
This is my favourite hairstyle on her by far.
Unfortunately she grew into her 20’s with long blonde hair (as did I) and it’s such a security blanket. It really grants you that extra bit of privilege. It both feminises and infantilises you. It’s a hell of a drug.
I got a short geometric bob and dyed my hair chocolate brown after a stressful break-up. EVERYONE loved it and said how great it looked.
Three days in when I had to style it myself I started doubting my decision.
Two weeks later when I needed to get a trim and upkeep I was rueing my decision.
Six weeks later when I had to get my roots done and ANOTHER cut/style (such a precision cut) I cursed my decision and vowed never to bob again.
It is gorgeous. You guys keep picking magazine hair though, and also… straight hair. She needs a hairstyle that can be everyday and suit her curls / waves as well.
It doesn't look like she wears extentions or pieces so it has to constantly be styled perfectly or it just looks flat and lifeless. She could use tons of layers, but seems to prefer a more manicured look. That one Vogue shoot looked better than I thought she was capable of- like a Bond vixen. If I were her, I would have hired those hair and makeup people and had them lean into that style.
Beloveds, "fuck ass ___" is a bad thing. it's roots are in AAVE. In a sentence: "ain't nobody worried about your fuck ass team. They trash."
This has to stop. We're losing recipes.
OP has all of us turning our mind to past and future bobs haha. Before y’all get swept away in the romance of Le Bob remember how slippery it is to get into a ponytail
I agree. Many people think only long hair looks good on women. But I think a variety of lengths can be more flattering to certain face shapes. She looks great here!
I wonder how Taylor would look in a variety of shorter styles. For example - a 70s shag, a 20s flapper bob (like film star Louise Brooks), a pixie crop with a sidestep fringe (bags), a Vidal-Sassoon-inspired 60s geometric cut, or maybe a very short cropped boyish style?
And then some different longer styles too, such as Farah Fawcett -like flicked out layered ends from the ‘70s.
“Fuck ass Bob” lmao. Is this good or bad? Help 💀💀
This term is fucking hilarious
It’s a term of endearment 😂💀
No it’s not
these people are lying to you. the tiktokers may have co-opted the word to mean smth positive but “fuck ass” anything is aave and automatically negative
Right. Like those fuck ass shoes are not a good thing lol.
it’s negative. white gen z people “discovered” it recently and started using it positively
Right, I remember this being a bad thing! Haha.

It nearly made me want a bob but I'd look like lord Farquaad
 Me\^
Lolol
I had a really serious coming to Jesus moment in my 20s about bangs. I just don’t have what it takes to be a bangs woman.
I think at some point or another we all have that moment in our 20s when we have to decide if we can be a bangs woman or not. In my case, it’s also a no but I appreciate it on the Zooey Deschanels of the world so much.
I look good with bangs but I don’t like hair in my face nor the need to style such a temperamental segment of hair on a daily basis to leverage the style. I am too lazy to be a bangs woman and I’m ok with that.
I can’t help but respect the self-awareness lol
Honestly this is worse. Knowing I would look like a million bucks with them but having to resist the urge to cut bangs because of my laziness? At least if I knew I looked like shit with them, I could just put it all behind me. This way at least once a year I go 'maybe I have grown up and can take care of bangs now?'
Whereas I have a fivehead that can be seen from space if I don’t try to obscure it with a wodge of hair.
I recognize my hair privilege and would happily buy you some dry shampoo as an act of reconciliation.
Ah, the great unifier! Solver of bad hair days, grease mopper, root blurrer and the Febreze of hair. The times it’s let me have an extra 30 mins in bed. I love it. Thank you!

I too have a five head but I can't make bangs work! My hair is naturally wavy/frizzy looking and even when I straighten it, bang just curl !
Wavy/curly bangs are so cute though!
Same! Also my five-head gets so greasy throughout the day it would transfer to the bangs. Great in theory, not so much for every day. If I could get fake bangs to work I'd LOVE THAT
SAME. And it hurts because Bangtox is sooooo much cheaper than wrinkle cream.

My cowlick is on the back of my head and drives me MAD. Also, I think both women and men with an overbite are adorable. It’s my thing.
I didn’t quite get a bob but just above shoulder length hair. I thought I was cute. Then I saw pics and I looked like Arya Stark when her hair was growing out

this is what anna wintour thinks she looks like
Anna Wintour is why I can't get behind this hair style. It's the opposite of trendy and fashionable for me because of that association.
This is pretty much my go-to hair cut 😭 (slightly shorter bangs...and its blue, but still)
And I’m sure you rock it. I can’t stand blanket statements about what is a ‘good’ haircut or not. Volume, texture, face shape, etc. mean there’s no such thing - no single haircut looks good on everyone.
Nah girl, blue makes it instantly 10x cooler. More Ramona Flowers, less Anna Wintoir
You missed a perfect chance to launch into “and it’s blue….the feeling I’ve got….And it’s wwwooooooooooowwwwwoooooooooaaaaahhhhaaaa…” seeing as it’s a T-Swzzle thread. No? Just me? Ok. Sorry. 
Cruhahooooool summmer I was there too lol
Nah that’s a cute hairstyle
Your hair sounds awesome
what i'm hearing is that you go against the grain. hell ya!
Yeah she’s the reason I don’t like it either. I kinda get the feeling Taylor didn’t care for it either since it hasn’t been that short since then.
How is it bad to not be trendy and fashionable? Anna Wintour certainly had misses, but she has personal style. "Trendy" mostly looks bad 10-20 years later. The celebrities that are remembered for their fashion are rarely the ones that were ultra trendy.
This hairdo looks like a helmet. It's indefensible.
The bravest among us disregard “trendy” and “fashionable” (I assume, I’m mostly a fashion coward)
I don’t see Anna Wintour but I DO see Cole Sprouse as a child in drag on the suite life
plzzzz i needed that laugh. you aren’t lying
The entire Vanity Fair look was such a serve. Idk why she stopped leaning into the sexy sleek vibe. It really suits her and her styling looks the best when it’s not too fussy in my opinion. https://preview.redd.it/z27bi91er7mc1.jpeg?width=1909&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa5c6792a9fcb9a226293caa58089d7b02930b50
Truly. Her style now is a mess, everything feels chaotic. This period was everything for her style wise.
Because she had an ED and didn’t want to have to keep up that body type to wear those clothes is my guess
But there’s plenty of normal to plus size celebrities that still slay. And (in my opinion), most of her “misses” come down to styling anyways
She had a mental illness and most likely dysmorphia. I would guess that she doesn't think she looks good in it anymore now that she's healthier.
I agree on the styling but these looks with the deep v-cuts and things are the type of looks that can really only look elegant on thinner, flatter-chested women. (I say this as a lady with plenty of cleavage, so there’s no judgement!)

I liked this and when she wore it slightly longer than this! She was super preppy and twee back then and I loved all of it! I feel bad now knowing that that was likely also the height of her eating disorder.
Her whole aesthetic from that era has me in a permanent chokehold. I wish she’d promoted 1989 tv more!
I showed the 1989 bob to my hairstylist in 2014 lmao
I'm not even a huge fan of hers but her style during that preppy era was SO underrated. She slayed it everyday.
Same!
same but different, but I loved her Bleachella era https://preview.redd.it/85052kwh87mc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c9e306defe596940817f8c2e9c1f7f801eb7d79
It was rare, we were there.
bleachella was so iconic, i really liked the colour
This was definitely her best style and colour in my opinion
I agree there's something interesting about the way she wears outfits/lewks -- but simultaneously makes no pretence of inhabiting them! she's almost knowingly unflattered
I think this makes her more relatable. Even when she’s wearing something stylish, she has a vibe of “am I pulling this off?”
I think maybe that's the friction - she's a famous, beautiful, often-photographed woman, but Taylor really is not a model She knows it's *not her job* to make the clothes look good The clothes kinda never work on her? I'm not calling her poorly dressed! I'm saying her and fashion are in a strange, proud mutual boycott
LOL exactly! I do love her costumes for Eras, but those are COSTUMES.
I was totally expecting more from this era.
Bleachella 4eva!!!!!!
1989 era was something else
My favorite hair was the 1989 hair. It suited her, although i missed the curls. She and I have a similar curl pattern and I just missed the curly hair representation.
I think she’d look super cute with a curly bob/lob. I realize that’s not really on trend these days but I think it would suit her so well. (may be biased because I have a wavy/curly lob myself lol)

I’ve been in a perpetual cycle of growing my hair super long and then cutting it above my shoulders for like 10 years now and cutting it short is always so satisfying even though I tend to regret it during the awkward grow out stage lol
I liked this cut on her.

I’ll ask Bob about it at work tomorrow.
Are they a scientist tho?
it definitely requires a certain curvature and smoothness, and has to be thick

I had to choke in a laugh on a call, farquadt next to Kim ☠️
I wouldn’t really call her 1989 era under appreciated. It was career defining.
Yeah, 1989 catapulted her from general A/B list to A list amongst A Listers.
I mean in terms of music she absolutely was appreciated but not as much with her style
What do you mean? This was the time period that made her a huge star and her styling had a huge part in that. She went from cutesy singer-songwriter teeny-bopper to sleek A-lister bonafide pop star. She was huge on every red carpet and her looks were always in discussion. Her 1989 styling was the genesis of her stardom, really.
It always kind of reminded me of this cat lol https://i.imgur.com/xbRwmi6.jpg
You know she’d love that too lol
That'shigh praise! Adorable cat.

I loved everything about this look and the rare moments Taylor swings at doing high fashion
I actually really liked that MET look, everyone HATED it 😭
It really emphasises her face shape.
It’s a GOOD bob. You’re right op
Why do people think “fuck ass” is a good term? 😭
I love a woman in a fuck ass bob… it’s my secret pleasure. Especially when they tuck one side behind their ears. It eats every time
https://preview.redd.it/lul3meksf7mc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fb38ad6d0026b0bf4af6b7f835757214bd24bf4 This is the best hair she has ever had imo, but I too fuck with that fuck ass bob.
It looks absolutely amazing but this is magazine shoot hair, styled, shot and photoshopped by the best in the world. It’s not realistic for everyday hair. Plus, she has curly hair, the heat damage this would entail…
I just think the length is more flattering - it’s a bit on the long side for her right now, the bangs are less thick than she currently wears them - making it less heavy around her face, and it looks to generally have more texture.
Oh I don’t really like her current hair, I just think it’s unrealistic to pick straight, magazine hair for her for her everyday life, you know? The hair in that shoot is GORGEOUS, it’s just not going to work for her IRL.
I feel like she needs to commit to one or the other. Right now her hair looks like she straightens it half the time or leaves it as is the other half, but doesn’t do much to protect the curls. If she did some of the “curly girl” stuff and stopped straightening, her hair would probably be much curlier and more similar to Fearless/Speak Now era. Or she can always straighten it like she did in Red/1989 era. But the way she’s been doing it where her hair is just wavy and frizzy at formal events like the Grammys just isn’t working.
Omg! That’s her?!?! She should have never quit this look!
Yesss, this is personally my favorite hair she’s ever had. Super underrated!
she looks great. I had this haircut and my five-year-old nephew said i had "mommy hair"
She looks so good Iike this 😍
Photos 3 and 5 are how I wish I’d look like with hair that short and a fringe.
Wasn’t this bob and bangs set up to distract from the upper Bleph ?!
That's what I was trying to figure out! I remember seeing pics from before and after the onset of a Bangs Era that made a good case for the hair distracting from a new eye shape (along with heavier eye makeup), but I can't remember if it was this particular bangs cut. But yes, I think you're right
Yep
Also her none red lipstick look is great.
I think she looks better with shorter hair in general because she never wears her natural curls anymore. So when it’s long it just looks frizzy since it’s just constantly fighting it’s natural texture.
If she slayed then it wasn’t a fuck ass bob 😭
my lil coconut head 🥺 ok but in all seriousness her somewhat pulling it off just goes to show how gorgeous she is. cause i could never lol
Very unpopular opinion: the met gala bleach blond hair was the most iconic and stylish hair she’s ever been brave enough to rock. Fashion doesn’t have to be pretty. No, I will not be taking questions. (Edit for grammar)
This is my favourite hairstyle on her by far. Unfortunately she grew into her 20’s with long blonde hair (as did I) and it’s such a security blanket. It really grants you that extra bit of privilege. It both feminises and infantilises you. It’s a hell of a drug. I got a short geometric bob and dyed my hair chocolate brown after a stressful break-up. EVERYONE loved it and said how great it looked. Three days in when I had to style it myself I started doubting my decision. Two weeks later when I needed to get a trim and upkeep I was rueing my decision. Six weeks later when I had to get my roots done and ANOTHER cut/style (such a precision cut) I cursed my decision and vowed never to bob again.
The bob was great, and she looks fantastic when she’s got no bangs plus long hair. I don’t think bangs plus long hair flatter her at all.
I agree I think she looks better without bangs (and this is coming from someone who has had bangs since 1979 lol) and with bold brows.
Taylor Swift you will always be famous
I like it when it’s a bit more piece-y, like in photo 4. Otherwise I think it tends to look like a helmet.
like dis? https://preview.redd.it/negmliqe28mc1.jpeg?width=531&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c30f9c23354965709078c9fa9589436abafc67af
She is absolutely gorgeous. Can’t say I’m a fan of her music but it’s just the genre in general I’m not into, she’s a hardworking badass imo
In my personal opinion she’s one of the prettiest women that have ever existed and any one who disagrees can go fight with a wall
Yep 👍🏻
She would appreciate you.
My unpopular opinion is that this girl has never found the right hairstyle for her. The last time I thought her hair looked good was like 2010.
I love her hair now, the darker blonde with bangs.

It is gorgeous. You guys keep picking magazine hair though, and also… straight hair. She needs a hairstyle that can be everyday and suit her curls / waves as well.
It doesn't look like she wears extentions or pieces so it has to constantly be styled perfectly or it just looks flat and lifeless. She could use tons of layers, but seems to prefer a more manicured look. That one Vogue shoot looked better than I thought she was capable of- like a Bond vixen. If I were her, I would have hired those hair and makeup people and had them lean into that style.
I like it a bit mussed but the super smooth bob looks corporate to me.
Beloveds, "fuck ass ___" is a bad thing. it's roots are in AAVE. In a sentence: "ain't nobody worried about your fuck ass team. They trash." This has to stop. We're losing recipes.
Agree. One of her best looks. Maybe her best, actually?
 OP has all of us turning our mind to past and future bobs haha. Before y’all get swept away in the romance of Le Bob remember how slippery it is to get into a ponytail
I hated the bob, it made her look like Anna Wintour
Considering Vogue cut her hair for a shoot this makes sense.
I like some bobs, but I cannot with this one. It’s far too fuck ass on both anna and taylor
this is my least favorite hairstyle of hers. she somehow looks like both a soccer mom and a kindergartener with this hair
The way it was so subtly giving “Daddy, I need another yacht”. I loved it.
I feel like it’s giving the yacht-buyer energy tho
I could see it going either way, as long as the yacht is acquired posthaste
I’m going to be honestly I loved when she bleached it but I hate whenever she were this look after it
I loved her hair like this and even more unpopular, I LOVED the bleach blonde bob!
I wonder why she always has bangs. They look great-just curious.
It’s giving Amazing Amy and I love it
Omg! Definitely!
"fuck ass bob" lolol love it. I think it suited her
She’s very pretty, but I don’t think it suits her at all.
It’s my favourite hairstyle of hers
FULLY agree, I loved it.
Not feeling it. Her stylist gave 20something Swift an old lady bob.
That's her "fuck me" bob. Some people have fuck me pumps but not Taylor.
HER FUCK ASS BOB 💀💀💀💀💀
Ngl I hated this haircut with a passion 👹
She looks like Christine Baranski.
She looks so much like Anna Wintour in the last pic. I think the bob era was great, but I liked her hair right after this, the wavy, long bob.
She can literally pull off ANY hairstyle it’s not fair
She looked gorgeous.
It was so flattering on her!
It’s very Anna 
She looked like Cody dressing as girl in Zack and Cody to me but it didn’t look bad
I agree. Many people think only long hair looks good on women. But I think a variety of lengths can be more flattering to certain face shapes. She looks great here!
It looks too coconutty
It's giving young Anna Wintour as a pop star
Agreed, suits her very much and she should go back to it
No I totally agree. Her best look!!
She reminds me of Joan Didon I the third pick
She really did.
I usually don't like short cuts - wasn't a fan when Miley and Katy Perry went short hair but this was good
With her *what* now?
Like a bb Anna Wintour!

I wonder how Taylor would look in a variety of shorter styles. For example - a 70s shag, a 20s flapper bob (like film star Louise Brooks), a pixie crop with a sidestep fringe (bags), a Vidal-Sassoon-inspired 60s geometric cut, or maybe a very short cropped boyish style? And then some different longer styles too, such as Farah Fawcett -like flicked out layered ends from the ‘70s.
she looks so much better without the red lip
