"Taylor Swift has admitted that some people didn&amp;#039;t recognise her backstage at the AMA Awards because she had straight hair.  The &amp;#039;Back To December&amp;#039; star switched her trademark curls for a sleek ponytail at this weekend&amp;#039;s ceremony where she performed and also picked up the gong for &amp;#039;Favorite Female Artist - Country&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;They straightened it and it was interesting because my hair is naturally &amp;#039;froed out; it&amp;#039;s always curly so that&amp;#039;s why I always do it curly - it&amp;#039;s a little easier,&amp;quot; she explained during an appearance on yesterday&amp;#039;s Tonight Show With Jay Leno. &amp;quot;[They] straightened my hair and I&amp;#039;m walking through the halls of this awards show and I&amp;#039;m passing by people I know and I&amp;#039;ve known for years - these other musicians - and I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;Hey!&amp;#039; And they&amp;#039;re, like, walking by!&amp;quot; She joked: &amp;quot;[I thought], &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m back in junior high right now! This is weird, this is what this used to be like.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Swift, who turns 21 next month, was on the late night show to promote her upcoming NBC Thanksgiving special, which follows her as she promotes her record-breaking album Speak Now and features behind-the-scenes and recording studio footage. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really excited about it,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;The cameras were following me for the entire release week of this really important record that I&amp;#039;m really proud of and it&amp;#039;s exciting to me that it is documented.&amp;quot; The Taylor Swift: Speak Now special airs on November 25 at 8pm ET on NBC. The Tonight Show With Jay Leno airs weeknights at 11.35/10.35c on NBC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
