Today is Taylor Swift’s 21st birthday and we wanted to take the time to look back at her (and definitely those curls”> over the years. Many women all over the world have found comfort in Taylor’s songs and admire her for saying what she wants to in her songs.
Imagining Taylor as an outcast who got teased in middle school seems impossible, especially since most of the ridicule happened because of her frizzy, curly hair.
Taylor admitted two years ago that she “used to hate [her] hair.” Taylor said she wanted to fit in so she “used to spend all that pain and time, getting up two hours earlier before [she] started school just because [she] wanted to look like everyone else.”
We love Taylor’s curls, and know many of you do as well, so here’s to those curls that she’s finally embraced!
