Unveiling the truth of Taylor Swift’s “secret weapon”
Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour is not only a musical event, but also a top-notch performance that combines sound, light, and fashion. In particular, one of the things that impressed the audience was the way Taylor Swift moved non-stop for three hours while still maintaining her elegance.
The secret behind this feat is the shoes designed specifically by Christian Louboutin, the legendary designer behind the red sole icon.
Christian Louboutin is no stranger to Taylor Swift. The two began collaborating in the 2010s, in music videos, the red carpet and especially the Reputation Tour 2018. With The Eras Tour, the scale and expectations of fans are raised to a new level, requiring shoes that are not only beautiful but also really perfect in terms of functionality.
“This time it was a lot more stressful. Taylor performed two years in a row around the world. She needs shoes that fit her gorgeous style and provide optimal support for her performance,” Louboutin shared.
The highlight of Taylor Swift’s shoe collection at The Eras Tour is the white boots created by Louboutin specifically for the release of the album The Tortured Poets Department in the middle of the tour. The sketch of these boots, now featured in Taylor Swift’s book – The Eras Tour, is a testament to meticulousness and relentless creativity.
Christian Louboutin shared that the shoe design for Taylor Swift was a close collaboration effort with stylist Joseph Cassell and the singer. “The whole team relied on elements from Taylor’s style through the eras to create shoes that combine sparkle and durability,” he said.
Not only inspired by Taylor Swift, Christian Louboutin also recalled the early days of his career when designing shoes for cabaret dancers. “The costumes performed at The Eras Tour are really inspiring. I thought about how the shoes would come to life on stage and highlight the performance.”
Taylor Swift’s shoe collection is skillfully and meticulously crafted from the fashion house Christian Louboutin.
To support Taylor Swift and the dancers, the shoes are not only beautiful, but also must meet the harsh practical requirements. Each pair is crafted to be easily changed in a short period of time, capable of withstanding hours of continuous dancing and ensuring comfort. “Each shoe is made from a characteristic red rubber sole to prevent slipping, even in bad weather,” Louboutin explains. The combination of durability, safety, and beauty is what makes this collection so successful.
