Grimes has given her and Elon Musk’s baby a Viking haircut.
The Canadian musician shared images of son X Æ A-Xii’s hairstyling process on her Instagram story on Thursday and wrote: “Not sure this went well, but he’s Viking now.” She then continued: “Haircut inspired by The Last Kingdom on Netflix, which is a masterpiece.”
The Last Kingdom is a historical fiction TV series based on Bernard Cornwell’s ‘The Saxon Stories’ that was first released by the BBC in 2015 and chronicled the Vikings’ arrival in Britain in 866 BC.
The haircut has caused mixed reactions across social media.

Grimes and Musk had their first child together on May 4, 2020. While he was initially called X Æ A-12, the couple were forced to change the numbers to roman numerals to comply with Californian law, which does not allow special characters and numbers in names.
Grimes previously tweeted the explanation for the unique name.
