Taylor Swift is well known for her signature, curly blonde hair, but one of the most recent ways she styled it has fans reeling.
The pop star recently attended the iHeart Radio Music Awards, where she had her blonde bangs on full display. Though some fans loved how she wore her hair that night, others thought the way she styled her bangs was unflattering, and even wrote about how “ridiculous” they thought they looked on social media platforms.

Taylor Swift Arrives At The iHeart Radio Music Awards With A Half-Up-Half-Down Hairstyle
The Eras Tour star had the internet reeling last week when she attended the iHeart Radio Music Awards on March 26th.
She hadn't attended the award show since 2023, and for a while, fans were unsure whether or not she'd show up, especially since she was the most nominated artist of the evening. Sure enough, she showed up and quickly started making headlines with her outfit for the show. Taylor wore a mint green corset dress with gold detailing.
For her hair, she had her long, blonde hair worn in a half-up-half-down style, with long pieces hanging down the front and lots of volume in the back. While the rest of her hair strands had a soft curl, her bangs were straightened and slightly swooped to one side.

Fans Slam Taylor's 'Ridiculous' Bangs On Social Media
In the eyes of Swifties, the Grammy award-winning musician can do no wrong. However, when it comes to her bangs, they've given her a lot of backlash for them.
Taylor has experimented with bangs over the years, once rocking straight, choppy bangs that she often complements with straight hair, but over the last five years, she's been embracing her natural hair texture. Therefore, she'll wear her bangs with little to no styling.
The bangs she wore at the iHeart Radio awards, however, didn't sit well with people, especially the way they appeared straighter than the rest of her hair and were swooped.
"Enough with the bangs, please," commented a fan on Instagram.
"Her hairstylist should be fired," added another.
"I like her toupee," joked a user.
"How does she not realize how ridiculous it looks?" asked a user on X, as others noted that the "swoop" made her look like younger Justin Bieber.
"She's beautiful, but should fire whoever is in charge of the bangs," added another.
