Ariana Grande is recognized for her gravity-defying ponytail almost as often as her Grammy-winning bops and cloud-colored Instagram. So when she decides to take her hair down from its usual pedestal, we notice.

Well, it looks like the singer is making a concerted effort to let her hair down more often this summer. On the Sweetener World Tour, Grande has ditched her signature high ponytail for pin-straight, loose hair several nights in a row. It’s the first time she’s been seen with this hairstyle since 2018, when she wore it down for the MTV VMAs. Naturally, fans have a lot to say about it.

The new-old look kicked off on the Chicago stop of her tour on Friday night (June 7). There, she posted a backstage snapshot from the tour on Instagram, where she’s seen in a plaid tour costume and waist-length, straight hair. The caption was about her pre-show snack of choice (blueberries, FYI), but the comments largely focused on her surprising hairstyle. “This hair is EVERYTHING,” user ponyy_boyy wrote.

Next, ahead of her performance in Nashville, Grande shared another snap with her hair down. This time, she wrote about fellow singer Miley Cyrus‘ performance on Black Mirror season 5 before acknowledging her out-of-the-ordinary hairstyle. “also my hair is down again,” she said.

And she’s not putting it back up anytime soon: On Saturday night’s stop in Atlanta, Grande’s ponytail was nowhere to be found.

With such a large spotlight trained on her hair—a silhouette of her ponytail has its own Givenchy campaign, for goodness’ sake—fans couldn’t contain their excitement at seeing Grande try something different.
