Swift's short hairdo was planned

Taylor Swift's decision to cut her hair short seemed spontaneous, but the singer says she had been planning it for six months.

The 25-year-old got her long locks chopped last year in the presence of her friends.

"I actually cut my hair here (in London), in the O2 arena backstage. All my friends watched, including Ellie Goulding. I was planning it for six months.

"I was like 'I'm doing it. I'm cutting my hair. I'm changing my hair for the first time ever'," peoplestylewatch.com quoted Swift as saying.
