Sheryl Crow’s authenticity shines through her music and actions, as evidenced by her recent hair transformation. The renowned rockstar decided to chop off multiple inches of her hair, marking a significant occasion for her debut with short hair. This decision coincided with her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November, a momentous event that she had initially planned to precede with the haircut. However, overcome by fear, she postponed the “chop” until the day after the ceremony.
In a candid discussion on Episode 29 of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Crow disclosed her hesitation, expressing concern about whether the change would turn out as expected or if she would end up disliking it. Despite her reservations, she eventually took the plunge, unveiling her chic new look on the show.
The 62-year-old singer’s cautious approach is understandable given the significance of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in her career. After years of musical success, she was mindful of not letting an impulsive decision detract from this moment of honor.
“I wanted to do it before the Rock Hall but was like, ‘What if I hate it?’ So I kept my rock hair until the ceremony was over, and then I went and was like, ‘Chop it,'” Crow shared with hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.
Following through on her decision, the nine-time Grammy winner wasted no time and visited the salon the day after her induction. She humorously recounted her busy schedule, going from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the “ballfield” as a parent, before finally heading to the salon to trim off eight inches of her hair.
Reflecting on her new hairstyle, Crow expressed contentment, remarking, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had short hair!”
In addition to her musical endeavors, Crow also recently joined TikTok, further engaging with her audience and embracing new platforms. She remains committed to relaying messages through her music and actions, including supporting fellow female artists like Olivia Rodrigo, whom she praised for her authenticity and songwriting talent.
As someone who looked up to icons like Stevie Nicks as a young artist, Crow now sees herself as a role model for the next generation of female rock artists. She appreciates the opportunity to pass the baton and support emerging talents, recognizing the wealth of young artists who are fearlessly speaking their truth through music.
