Calvin Harris Debuts New Look As He Switch to Country Music
Calvin Harris, known for electronic dance music (EDM) and dropping bangers like “This Is What You Came For” and “Summer” (and you know, being Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend), stepped out in public looking grittier.
The new look can perhaps be attributed to his major career move of switching to country music. Gone are the days of Harris looking like a boy-next-door type. Now, hello to long flowing locks, a full beard, and the kind of rugged charm that makes you think he was raised on a ranch. Now that he’s doing country music, he’s doing it in style.
The New Calvin Harris: Long Hair Don’t Care
Aside from debuting his new look, the Scottish DJ also posted a clip of him singing “Smoke the Pain Away” giving fans a glimpse of what they can expect from Calvin Harris, country music star.
The track is Harris’ first song featuring his vocals after several years. Per Music Radar (via the Daily Mail), “It’s a known fact that country music is hotter than ever and, always willing to ride a genre-mashing bucking bronco, here comes Calvin Harris, fresh out of the stocks on yet another new style.”
The track already has fans based on the positive comments on his Instagram post. One user called it “The Johnny Cash era,” while another social media user commented, “Move over Cowboy Carter. Here comes Cowboy Calvin.” Although there are still fans who miss the DJ’s clean-cut image and pleaded, “Calvin, no – please shave the beard!”
Harris recently attended the 2025 BRIT Awards with radio presenter wife, Vicki Hope. The two, who recently got married, are just putting the finishing touches to their Cotswolds dream home and are expected to move in this summer, according to The Scottish Sun. The house’s architect was reportedly a favorite of the Royal family.
A construction worker told the Daily Mail, “This is Calvin Harris’ new home. No expense has been spared, and it’s going to be incredible. The best part is he won’t have a neighbour in sight when he moves in – just a decent pub down the road.”
The worker also mentioned that Harris is aiming for the house to be finished by August, but that might not be possible because “it’s a huge project.” Although, the worker claimed that there is an “army” of them working on it and that they are doing their best “to get it done as soon as possible.”
