Taylor Swift‘s much-awaited concert film had its world premiere at The Grove in Los Angeles last week, and we’re still not over her look! The October 11th event was marked by the stunning entrance of the “Anti-Hero” singer, 33, in a strapless baby blue gown by Oscar de la Renta.
Fans of the pop star, fondly called ‘Swifties’, took to social media to discuss her chic bob hairdo, which was actually a faux bob created using pins. Devoted Swifties are already spinning conspiracy theories. Some wonder if the fake bob is a nod to her 2014 record, 1989, ahead of its rerelease.
Fans React To Taylor Swift's Chic Faux Bob From The Eras Tour Film Premiere Red Carpet
Others speculate if it's a hint at a surprise "double album drop." Fans also noted that the faux bob strongly resembled the curly shorter 'do that Swift was sporting nine years ago when the original 1989 album was released. With the announcement of 1989 (Taylor's Version) dropping on October 27th, it's not far-fetched to assume that the songwriter's hairstyling was a deliberate choice.
On X (formerly Twitter), Swifties began sharing their theories as to what the Grammy winner's faux bob might represent shortly after photos of her on the red carpet emerged online. "It's a faux bob where someone just pins their hair under for a special look," one tweeted after another asked: "where did all her hair go?" Someone else wrote: "THE FOLDED BEHIND FAKE BOB FOR 1989 PROMO SHES TAKING IT." One other chimed in: "omg i thought she cut her hair."
"The bob. so 1989 coded," another Swiftie pointed out. "HER HAIR LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ACTUAALLY CUT," another replied. Someone else joked: "i’m an english teacher so i feel that my job lined up with going insane over taylor swift’s fake 1989 era bob."
To complete her look for the Eras Tour film premiere, the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker added Giuseppe Zanotti pointed-toe stilettos that matched her frock. Swift also "bejeweled" her get-up with a diamond necklace, stud earrings, and shiny rings by Akillis, Anabela Chan, and Cathy Waterman. For her makeup look, Swift shined with the help of sky blue eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, rosy blush and her signature bold red lip.
On August 10th, Swift announced her plans to release her third re-recorded album (and the five additional never-before-heard vault tracks written during that era), and noted that it was her favorite to remake. "The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27," she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Swift added: "To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!"
So, we still wonder, what does Swift's latest red carpet ensemble really represent when it comes to 1989 (Taylor's Version)? Overall, determining the truth would require a level of expertise in identifying the subtle hints and clues within Swift's work that only a seasoned enthusiast would possess!
