Ariana Grande Finally Tries Out A New Hairstyle, And It's Gorgeous

Don't worry, the ponytail is still intact.

On Assignment For HuffPost

When it comes to ever-changing Hollywood hair, Ariana Grande isn’t even on the radar. In fact, her signature perma-ponytail has been the subject of many an article and DIY attempt.

So when the songstress did change it up, to say people took notice is an understatement. 

Grande debuted a brand spanking new set of bangs on Saturday via a dark, blurry Instagram that sparked a “did she or didn’t she” debate among commenters. 

Grande was quick to prove her bangs’ authenticity by spending the rest of the weekend sharing photos of her new ‘do (and apparently trying to catch ‘em all in between posts).

If she intended to distract people from the revelation that she was rejected from performing at the White House over her doughnut-licking scandal, we think it’s safe to say the mission was accomplished.
