Taylor Swift soared in sky-high heels to celebrate season 49 of “Saturday Night Live.”
While stepping out in New York City with boyfriend Travis Kelce, Swift wore a pair of sharp platform sandals. Her black leather style featured uppers with smooth toe and buckled ankle straps, complete with thick soles for a balanced height boost.
Swift’s sleekest statement, however, came from her shoes’ 5-inch block heels. The towering base featured a transparent texture with a golden amber tint, giving a glossy, shiny finish to the “Eras Tour” star’s footwear.

The style also added a gleaming edge to Swift’s outfit for the occasion: pleated black trousers and Versace’s $1,795 Medusa ’95 crop top, which featured a corseted satin silhouette with medallion-accented straps. The set was smoothly layered beneath a gray and black houndstooth-printed coat, which Swift accentuated with Aupen’s black vegan leather $340 Nirvana handbag — bringing her look a chic flair with its braided strap and gold hardware.

Gleaming gold jewelry — including a diamond-studded chain necklace, layered huggie earrings, bejeweled rings and a beaded hand chain — completed Swift’s attire for the occasion with a gilded finish.

When it comes to footwear, Swift often sticks to aesthetic-focused pairs based on her current album cycle. The “Mean” singer regularly wears ankle boots from Christy Dawn, Hunter and Ugg, as well as Nike and Golden Goose sneakers, while off-duty. For red carpets and onstage performances, she can also be spotted in pumps, sandals and tall boots from brands like Christian Louboutin, Chloe Gosselin, Sophia Webster, Aquazzura and more.
