Taylor Swift Wears Red Lip and Blunt Bangs on the Eve of the “Red” Rerelease — See Photos

Both looks take me back to the era of coral-colored everything, chevron patterns, and jeggings — back when Swift got bangs for the first time (which happened on the set of a Vogue cover shoot) and started wearing her hair straight more often. Swift does everything (like, every tiny detail) with intention, so knowing her, this recent return to straight-ish hair, long bangs, and perpetual red lips is an intentional nod to Red‘s legacy. 

And this all begs the question — if and when Swift records 1989 (Taylor’s Version), will she subtly recreate the beauty looks from that era, too? We wouldn’t be mad if she popped up next year in yet another shaggy shoulder-length bob. 

While we ponder on that, catch us staring out our windows dramatically, tweeting about Jake Gyllenhaal, and listening to the 10-minute version of “All Too Well” all day.
