At 5'11, Taylor Swift already towers above many of us, but despite that, all of her favorite shoe trends are heels. She looks great in heels, so it makes sense. Much to the delight of all the Swifties out there, she's been out and about a lot this year, with photographers following her every outfit. As an editor who covers lots of celebrity style, I don't think I've missed a Taylor Swift outfit yet this year, and I've been looking for themes.
Swift has changed her personal style off and on over the years, but when she's in an "era", she really stays true to that aesthetic. I don't personally know Swift (unfortunately), but I do think that she's really stayed true to herself this year, and worn what she loves and feels comfortable in. On that note, I've noticed that for the most part, she sticks to a handful of shoe trends when she's out in the world, and I'm here to do my due diligence and talk about them.
With that, scroll on for the five shoe trends Swift wears constantly, and shop the best pairs if she's inspired you to dress like her.
Platforms
Swift wore platforms to her recent birthday party, and it certainly wasn't the first time. It's one of her preferred shoe trends, with everything from miniskirts to gowns.

High-Heel Loafers
Although Swift rarely wears flat loafers, she's been photographed in loafers with chunky heels on several occasions this year. Just this week, she paired them with a pleated miniskirt and sheer tights.

When it comes to red carpets and other special occasions, Swift most often wears stiletto sandals—no matter the season. (It's one of the perks of having a driver).

When Swift wears ankle boots, they pretty much always have a chunky heel (and sometimes a platform to go along with it).
