Did Taylor Swift Just Go Brunette

Taylor Swift is back in London—and possibly a brunette now.

The singer-songwriter was spotted celebrating in the British capitol on August 13, sporting noticeably darker hair than her trademark creamy blonde.

While it’s tough to tell if it’s the lighting or an actual brown dye job, Swift’s plaid two-piece skirt suit was certainly paying homage to another beloved blonde: Cher Horowitz. The ’90s-inspired ensemble, which is from Vivienne Westwood’s fall/winter 2024 collection, looks so much like something Cher would have worn in Clueless. If you said Swift was en route to a costume party, I would’ve believed you. You can see photos of her hair and ’fit here.

If Swift did indeed change up her hair, she’d be right on trend. According to Jennifer Korab, celebrity hairstylist and colorist and founder of Renaissance Salon & Spa, muted takes on blonde are trending for fall. These shades can look brown in certain lighting, and just might be the case for Swift.

“Muted blonde hair color is a sophisticated and subtle shade that blends warm and cool tones to create a natural, understated look,” Korab told Glamour. “This shade often features a sun-kissed appearance with hints of beige, taupe, or honey, making the hair look effortlessly chic and low maintenance. Its versatility allows it to be adapted to various skin tones by adjusting the balance of undertones, adding warmth with golden hues or cooling it down with ashier tones.”

Upon further investigation, it’s possible Taylor Swift has gone without highlights while on tour this summer. On June 11, 2024, she was seen in London with hair that looked darker than usual, too. Is it just something about London? Only time will tell….

While Swift wasn’t en route to a costume party, she was going to a party of sorts, according to celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi. Per Deuxmoi, Swift had planned her Eras Tour staff a celebration ahead of her upcoming shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, which is where she was spotted with maybe-brown hair.
