TikToker @thejackieaccount used photos of Taylor Swift alongside Travis Kelce, Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas, Gigi Hadid, and Karlie Kloss to make the case that Swift is actually 5-foot-8. But in response to the video, some commenters argued that the math used to reach this conclusion was wrong because five inches was subtracted from Swift’s height due to the singer wearing five-inch heels in one photo. However, five-inch heels don’t actually add a full five inches to the wearer’s height. Each photo’s angle and the positioning of their subjects also made it difficult to determine the actual height differences of the celebs pictured.
@thejackieaccount Replying to @Quintavius Johnson it is SO hard to find pics of this woman in flats
Whether Swift is actually 5-foot-11 or not, we do know her height used to make her feel insecure. “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 told Girl’s Life. But long before she began dating a tall football player, she learned to embrace her height. “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,” she said. It also made it possible for her to look like she belonged on the runway when she performed at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and now that she counts so many models as friends, she doesn’t always have to look down when gabbing with her gal pals.
