Taylor Swift Shoes

Taylor Swift’s shoes get as much attention as her dresses. In the past two years the headlines have covered a Dior ballet pump with a bow, a mid-awards swap into crystal sandals, brown Burberry boots on a Saturday Night Live night and a pair of Louboutins with a very practical secret under the sole.

Here are 7 Taylor Swift shoes moments, what each outlet reported, and simple ways to copy the idea. If you want more of her style, see our guides to her casual outfits, necklaces and hair color.

Quick Facts

• Newest pair on this list: Burberry Pillar boots, reported on October 4, 2026.
• Priciest pair with a listed price: Christian Louboutin “Miss Z Strass” pumps, listed at $2,995.
• Most talked-about habit: changing shoes during an event, as at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
• Practical detail: her Eras Tour Louboutins had rubber soles, according to the designer.
• Best budget route: a ballet-style pump, a dark leather loafer or a plain black cowboy boot.

1. The Dior Ballet Pumps on a Date Night

Marie Claire, in an article dated May 23, 2026, says Swift wore Dior Muse Pumps in black crocodile-printed calfskin to a date night with Travis Kelce on May 22, after leaving Sartiano’s, an Italian restaurant in Manhattan. The outlet calls the shoe a hybrid ballet style with a tied bow that is part Mary Jane. It lists them at $1,150 and says they are sold out.

The rest of the look was a little black dress, a Dior Médaillon Envelope Pouch ($2,900) and a Cartier Santos Demoiselle watch, which the outlet values at $18,330. The couple had just returned from a trip to Greece for a teammate’s wedding.

What makes it work: a small bow softens a plain black dress.

2. The Mid-Awards Shoe Swap

Marie Claire, in an article dated March 27, 2026, reports that Swift changed shoes at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. She began the night in mint green satin open-toe stilettos by Jimmy Choo, worn with a custom mint green Wiederhoft corset and mini skirt from the Life of a Showgirl era. Her stylist, Joseph Cassell Falconer, helped her switch into Aquazzura “Tell Me” 85mm sandals between the red carpet and the first of her seven wins.

The second pair is a crystal-embellished satin sandal in a champagne shade the brand calls “Warm Beige.” The outlet lists it at $1,255 and describes four straps with baguette crystals, a pointed toe and a 3.5-inch stiletto heel. The same article recalls an earlier swap at the 2023 MTV VMAs, from Jimmy Choo to Aquazzura, and says she also swaps heeled thigh-high boots for sturdier platform boots at Chiefs games.

What makes it work: a soft color for arrival and a sparkling pair for the long night.

3. The Burberry Boots on SNL

Marie Claire, in an article dated October 4, 2026, names Burberry Leather Pillar Boots in dark brown, listed at $1,995. She wore them with a Simkhai Wells plaid off-the-shoulder mini dress ($595) and a Saint Laurent chain belt ($1,500). The outlet says the appearance came one week after the surprise release of The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, and that Dakota Johnson was hosting. It does not give an exact date.

What makes it work: a dark brown boot grounds a short plaid dress.

4. The Louboutin “Miss Z Strass” Pumps

Marie Claire, in an article dated September 24, 2025, says Swift posted an Instagram photo dump that day, nine days before The Life of a Showgirl was released. In it she wore Christian Louboutin’s Miss Z Strass pumps in vintage rose with rose gold rhinestones, listed at $2,995. The outlet says the heels reach the same height as Zendaya’s “So Kate” pumps, and that Zendaya was Louboutin’s muse for the design. It was not a public event.

The outfit was a pale pink strapless velvet bustier from The Blonds’ Fall 2023 line, black micro-mini shorts and a Bob Mackie headpiece with a rhinestone crown and white feathers.

What makes it work: a pale shoe in the same color family as the outfit looks deliberate.

5. The Two Pairs of Boots at a Chiefs Game

Marie Claire, in an article dated October 8, 2024, reports that on October 7, 2024, at the Chiefs’ game against the Saints, Swift wore a Vivienne Westwood plaid set from the Fall 2024 collection. The first boots were knee-high Vivienne Westwood Grace Boots ($1,270 at Farfetch). She later changed into ankle-high Stella McCartney Skyla Boots, which have a gold chain, a lower heel and a sturdy platform sole ($970 at Farfetch). The outlet says she wore the second pair at the after-party.

What makes it work: the second boot has a lower heel and a thick sole for a long night.

6. The Black Cowboy Boots at Arrowhead

PureWow, in an article dated November 6, 2024, describes black leather knee-high cowboy boots at Arrowhead Stadium, worn with a classic tank, high-waisted denim shorts and a vintage Chiefs letterman jacket. The outlet does not name a brand or give a price, and it says only that the game was “this week.”

Our earlier version of this article called the boots burgundy. PureWow describes them as black, so we have corrected it.

What makes it work: an all-black outfit lets one boot silhouette stand out.

7. The Gucci Loafers in the “Fortnight” Video

Marie Claire, on April 22, 2024, says Swift wore black leather Gucci Jordaan loafers in the “Fortnight” music video, listed at $990. The outlet adds that Katie Holmes often wears the same loafers around Manhattan with jeans and trench coats, and that Holmes wore them days before The Tortured Poets Department was released.

What makes it work: a flat, dark loafer is the easiest pair on this list to wear every day.

What Her Eras Tour Shoes Had Under the Sole

Marie Claire, in an article dated November 28, 2024, reports that Christian Louboutin told InStyle the custom Eras Tour shoes had rubber soles instead of his signature painted leather soles. This kept Swift from slipping, including at rainy shows. The article does not name a specific model. It lists custom pieces such as knee-high boots for Lover, a Fearless pair, combat boots for Reputation and cabaret-style heels with a sturdy block heel for The Tortured Poets Department.

Not every pair is a heel. Marie Claire, on November 13, 2025, said a trailer for the The End of an Era docuseries showed her in Adidas Superstar Kith Classics “White Mango” sneakers during tour rehearsals. The outlet says the colorway debuted in a 2022 Kith collaboration at $120 and now sells for upwards of $330.

Her Shoes at a Glance

• April 2024: Gucci loafers in the “Fortnight” video.

She moves between very dressy heels and very practical boots, often within one night. That is our reading, not a claim from the outlets.

How to Copy Her Shoe Style

You do not need her brands. These ideas follow the shapes in the reports. We have no verified prices for lookalikes, so check them yourself.

• For the ballet pump look: a soft ballet-style pump with a small bow, worn with a plain black dress.
• For the swap look: pack a sparkling sandal for the evening and wear a soft pair on arrival.
• For the boot look: a dark brown or black leather boot with a plaid mini or denim shorts.
• For the loafer look: a black leather loafer with jeans or a trench coat.
• For the stadium look: a boot with a lower heel and a thick platform sole.

A simple rule: pick one standout pair and keep the rest of the outfit simple.

Where the Sources Disagree

• The cowboy boot color. PureWow describes black boots at Arrowhead. Our earlier version said burgundy, so we corrected it.
• The iHeartRadio date. Marie Claire’s article, dated March 27, 2026, calls it “last night’s” show, but the page does not name the event date.
• The SNL date. Marie Claire does not give an exact date, only that it followed the release of The Encore by a week.
• The Eras Tour shoes. The outlet does not name a model for the custom Louboutins.
• The Louboutin photos. They were from an Instagram photo dump, not a public event.
• Prices. We list only prices that an outlet gave, and prices may have changed.
• What we removed. Our earlier version included claims we could not source, such as a TV-show inspiration for her oxfords, wedding speculation, sales spikes for small brands and sustainable-brand sightings. They are not repeated here.
