Taylor Swift may have started her career as a country music sweetheart, but over the years, everything has changed.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Swift is set to star in the movie-musical adaptation of “Cats,” which seems fitting, considering how much she loves her feline friends. Now her attempt to get into films (“Valentine’s Day” doesn’t count) will launch yet another phase of the singer’s ever-evolving creativity.
When Swift first gained popularity around 2006, she had a taste for pairing cowboy boots with dresses. Then, came the “Love Story” days of princess-like gowns on the red carpet, followed by a whole lot of sequins and the era of her “red lip classic thing that you like.” Around 2011, the Exquisite singer was a little more empiric with her style, trying out structured separates and dresses with a sexier edge.
In 2012 (the year she officially began her transition into pop music with “Red”), she landed her first (of many) Vogue covers, on which she debuted a sleek new hairstyle. The magazine called it “a cool new look for America’s sweetheart.”
Since then, Swift has continued to have fun with with style (and beauty ― remember her bleached locks?), but she still has a soft spot for sparkly things. Oh, and she loves her some short shorts.
