Musical hair: Taylor Swift shows off a sleek new 'do while Nicki Minaj channels her inner Rapunzel



Taylor Swift and NIcki Minaj both debuted striking new hairdos at Billboard's Woman of the Year ceremony today.

While the 21-year-old Love Story singer showed off her sleek new hairdo and darling bangs, 28-year-old Minaj wore a wig that made her look like Rapunzel.

For Swift, at least, her sexy new look is a way of proving she's finally leaving her girlhood behind. She tweeted a photo of her new 'do yesterday, writing simply: 'Got a haircut.' According to E!Online, the decision behind her snip was utterly spontaneous.

'She got it cut on a shoot. She just decided to go for it! Very fun!' the site says.

A mature new style couldn't have come at a better time, given that the blonde stunner was honoured at the ceremony n New York City.

She looked sophisticated and willowy in a red chiffon dress and nude heels that served to elongate her already gazelle-like gams.

She couldn't keep the gigantic grin off her ruby red lips, either, as well she shouldn't have: she became the youngest artist ever to receive this particular honour.

The annual award celebrates achievements of trailblazing female recording artists.

Beyonce, Fergie and Reba McEntire have all accepted the award in the past.

Although she was virtually snubbed by the Grammys this year, only pulling in three nods for Best Country Album, Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance, she has won several other accolades this year.

She was deemed Entertainer of the Year from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.

She has also won Billboard Music Awards for top country album, top Billboard 200 artist and top country artist.

According to Big Machine Records, she has also sold more than 20 million albums and 40 million digital track downloads.

The ingenue is also reportedly going head-to-head with Hollywood starlets Lea MIchele, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood to score the part of Eponine in Tom Hooper's big-screen adaptation of Les Miserables.
