Taylor Swift may be a confident country star NOW but she wasn’t always that way. She faced normal insecurities that all teen and tween girls go through. “In school I hated my hair,” she shared with Sugar, “My first boyfriend would make subtle suggestions, like, ‘I love your hair straight – you should do that more often.’ So I’d straighten it all the time.” Eventually though, Taylor realized she didn’t WANT to change for a boy! “It hit me that I didn’t want to be the version of myself that he approved of, so I had to end it.” Way to go, Taylor! That’s just ONE of the reasons you’re such an amazing role model!

  1. Clearly that boy is blind….. BY Her UTTER BEAUTY! If he doesn’t like her when she have curly hair then he is not worth it. I think that she is beautiful no matter how her hair looks!

    Don’t ever change Taylor!
