Fans react to Tori Kelly’s new look as she announces new single: ‘Who is dis?’
“New era,” new look.
On Tuesday, Tori Kelly shared the cover art for her forthcoming song, “Missin U.”
“missin u,” the 30-year-old “I Was Made for Loving You” singer tweeted, adding, “new single. new era.”
In the picture, Kelly — who’s famous for her blond curls — debuted a much darker ‘do, her jet-black locks twisted up into two buns with face-framing tendrils.
The two-time Grammy winner also wore an all-black outfit comprised of a cutout tank top, wide-leg pants and arm warmers.
While Kelly has been out of the spotlight for the last few years, fans were shocked to see her bid her blond locks goodbye.
“she done changed the wig color y’all! this is HUGE. new wig. new lace. NEW ERA,” tweeted one surprised fan.
“Tori Kelly said it’s time to leave the Christian music behind and blacken it up a lil bit. She’s giving racially ambiguous,” added another of the singer (whose father is biracial), referring to her darker tan.
“I know this ain’t the same blonde Tori Kelly that was singing gospel songs, she looks good af 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” wrote a third.
“She put the bible down and is letting the Afro Latina jump out,” quipped a social media user.
“Who is dis??” another fan tweeted alongside a meme of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Mary Crosby’s eyes widening.
Kelly has not released a new album since October 2020’s “A Tori Kelly Christmas.”

“i see your comments👀 & i get frustrated too bc i just wanna put this music out & tour again but unfortunately its not as simple as just releasing songs whenever i want,” she tweeted at the time.
“i wish the business side of things didn’t sometimes slow down the process… but.”
Kelly continued, “that being said.. it’s led to a better situation & im so grateful for the team around me. so yes it’s taken longer than i would’ve liked & im so grateful for yalls patience.
