Fans are used to Demi Lovato's ever-evolving beauty looks. After successfully hosting the People's Choice Awards just a few days ago, Lovato debuted a shocking new hairstyle on Wednesday.

In a far cry from her dark waist-length hair, she now sports a pixie cut with a shaved undercut. It's the first time anyone has seen her with hair this short. Her first Instagram post with this new hairdo garnered more than 1.2 million likes with thousands of compliments from her fans and celebrity pals.

Let's look back at some of Demi's most memorable hair transformations over the years.

Early this year, Lovato sang the National Anthem before the Super Bowl LIV match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. She appeared in a stunning bright white pantsuit, bronzed skin, strong eye makeup, and very long crimped black hair.

That brings us back to this week's latest transformation. Could this be Demi's version of a "breakup haircut?" As many women (and their hairstylists) would agree, dramatic hairstyle changes mark a significant event in their lives. "Changing our appearance is a proactive measure when other aspects of our life feel beyond our control," Vivian Diller, Ph.D., explains to Byrdie.

She adds that new hairstyles or changing hair colors are associated with new beginnings and starting fresh. Perhaps this is Lovato's way of saying goodbye to a broken engagement that garnered much publicity back in September. Or maybe just like all of us, she's over this state of uncertainty with Covid-19 still hovering around like a dark cloud and just wants to shake things up in any way she can. Well played, Demi. And as always, you slay.
