As far as celebrity hairstyles go, the look Taylor Swift debuted at the 2010 American Music Awards is most definitely one of the best.

The country cutie was almost unrecognizable when she hit the red carpet with her mature new look, and for once, in the land of Hollywood, it wasn't because she looked a mess, wore the wrong outfit or sported a shockingly bad hairstyle. In fact her hairstyle was good. Very good.

This is a fantastic sleek 'do which flows over the shoulder to show off the jagged cut ends as well as the jagged layers cut through the front to add texture and shape. Her long blonde hair, usually twisted into her trademark curls, was styled long and straight with a healthy hair shine. And she had added bangs to her look. The kind of full, blunt cut bangs that create a fabulous frame around the face (ones we'd all secretly love to be brave enough to try) and completed the over-all style beautifully!

The look was different, stunning and really showed a great new side to the young star - adding another success to what has already been a very successful year for her.
