Notably, instead of her famously sleek, brunette, super-long ponytail, Grande posed in ombré pigtails.

The 27-year-old superstar previously wore ponytails in two posts (with three different photos) on Instagram, both shared on Monday and apparently taken at a rehearsal for her VMAs performance.

Grande has rarely posed without her distinctive ponytail in the past few years - and anytime she does, the stylistic decision makes headlines.

This time is no different. Fans immediately gushed over her new look and declared that Grande "owns pigtails now."
