Ariana Grande is known for her signature ponytail, so when the singer decides to change up her look, it’s always news.
During the Hamburg, Germany stop on her Sweetener World Tour on Saturday, Sept. 28, Grande shocked fans when she performed with her hair down, ditching her usual sky-high mane for sleek, straight hair. The singer wore her brown hair down around her face with a center part, a pair of bedazzled hair clips accessorizing the look.

The 26-year-old has worn her hair down in public just a handful of times since adopting the ponytail as her signature style, though she did let the tight ‘do take a break during another tour stop in June. Grande began her tour in March and is currently on the European leg of the trek. She will return to North America for another series of shows starting in November.
Grande has been open about the mental struggles she has experienced during her Sweetener Tour, canceling the remainder of her European meet and greets and Soundcheck Parties in September after initially canceling a meet and greet ahead of her show in Antwerp, Belgium.
“Hi my loves. Time for some honesty,” she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. “My depression and anxiety have been at an all-time high lately. I have been giving you all I’ve got and trying to push through as hard as I can and mask it.”
“Today has been an extra rough one. After a handful of panic attacks, I feel like the wisest decision would be to not do soundcheck party or [meet-and-greet] today and preserve my energy for the show,” she continued. “I wish I had control over these attacks but as anybody with anxiety or depression understands, sometimes you can only operate on its terms and not your own.”
Grande had previously discussed the toll touring was taking on her while responding to a fan on Twitter who told her that music is the star’s “therapy.”
“Making it is healing,” the Florida native revealed. “Performing it is like reliving it all over again and it is hell.”
“I have so much on my mind and it’s so heavy and no energy to process or work thru any of it but I’m trying hard,” she continued.
