In a move we never saw coming, Camila Cabello has ditched her iconic long locks. The Señorita singer shared a snap of her fresh choppy, textured bob to Instagram, explaining the picture was taken behind-the-scenes while shooting her new music video.

hello!!!! usually when I take these breaks from social media, it's cause I need some space or time away from it - I think it's healthy to know when you need time for yourself- that's been my biggest thing I've worked on this year so far is to listen to my intuition and what my mind and body need!!!! When I feel overwhelmed or overstimulated I'm like.... ok I need to give myself a little room to slow down. but I miss and love you guys!!!! I'm in London right now working on Cinderella and I'm having the time of my life TBH 🥺 here's a picture behind the scenes of a music video that's coming out very very soon... how are you guys doing?! How's life!! How are your hearts! I'll read some of the comments and reply 💕💕💕💕💕💕

Gorgeous, right?!

To complete the look, Camila styled her hair with a hint of a wave and a very on-trend pearl and rhinestone embellished clip.

Due to the photo having been taken during a shoot, there has been some speculation the look may have been achieved with a wig. Considering Camila hasn't really deviated from her signature long, dark tresses over the years (other than that time she went red for her Liar music clip), we wouldn't be surprised.

Whenever I make a music video I try to think of what message I want to tell, I think what do I wanna communicate to someone who's watching 🧐🧐 The video is pretty crazy and ridiculous and a story we had fun making up, but the messages are what make me most proud of it- I told Dave I wanted one of the themes in the video to be true love over materialism- I feel like nowadays people value money, power, luxury, and even the "appearance" of how something looks more than looking at the real thing - the talk show is making fun of that by showing how people take a human situation and take the humans out of it by just focusing on the superficial, you know? the other message I love in it is about living your truth. The first time I try to lie, life immediately punishes me by making me choke to death, then I try to avoid it by telling little truths, but not the actual BIG truth,which is that I'm unhappy with this luxurious, grandiose, seemingly perfect fiancé - so every time I try to ignore it the messages become louder and louder, so I relive the same day and die every time I don't say the real truth. When I finally admit to my fiancé that I'm in love with the bus boy at my restaurant, the groundhogs loop is broken and I finally am not reliving the same day!!! Moral of the story: live your truth and choose LOVE over all the other BS that doesn't really matter. I LOVE YOU GUYS I HOPE YOU LOVED THIS VIDEO!!

But, only time will tell whether Camila has indeed gone for a permanent chop!

Last year, Camila stunned us all when she stepped out with a new perm and showed us how-to nail a curly braid. Check out her look here.

Do you think Camila has really cut her hair? Let us know in the comments.
