Taylor Swift’s Sky-High Heels Add Inches to Her Model-Like Figure

Taylor Swift wasn’t always confident, especially about her height. In 2008, the singer revealed to Girl’s Life that she felt uncomfortable being taller than most girls in a group.
“I didn’t like being tall when I would walk up to a group of girls, and they were all a head shorter than me,” she revealed.

“When I can put on a pair of four inch heels and walk into a room and be taller than everybody else, now I look at it as a good thing,” the 5ft 9 ¼ (175.9 cm) star added and confirmed she’d be happy to date someone shorter.
“I don’t have any height limits. Like, if a guy is shorter than me, that’s cool, if he sweeps me off my feet, you know? If a guy’s taller than me, that is cool too.”
