For the past 152 nights we've played on the Eras tour, Taylor Swift's outfits each come with gleaming, shimmering, custom Christian Louboutin shoes — more than 250 pairs in total, to be precise. Every night, she sails her nearly four-hour set without missing a step. Swift's own talent and willpower are mostly what makes these perfect routines possible, but the right shoes helped her hit her mark even during the fan's favorite (and slippery) rain show. Now, Mr. Louboutin himself explains how in the end.

In short, it's down to their signature red bottom soles.

The heel is also deliberately low and sturdy."I've been dancing for more than 3 hours, so comfort is also very important. So we incorporated a sturdy block heel and flat.

Diversity and nostalgia are equal parts of the excitement of tour shows in each era. Taylor Swift wore the same clothes on each album made in several different colors. Fans love to guess which one she'll wear before she wears it; Swift told the crowd she loves when the audience watches her clothes change. Louboutin's team knew that making extra shoes would keep them engaged quickly throughout each stop of the record-breaking tour. "She had to shine and stand out because she was on stage for two years around the world," Louboutin says. So, for each date, there were new fittings and shoes to surprise her fans.

Christian Louboutin opened about Taylor Swift's shoe wardrobe on the eve of her last performance in Vancouver, Canada. 29. The book includes an original sketch of Louboutin for boots from the tortured poet's time, based on a completely new design, and hundreds of photos that have never been seen before. And from what I can say, further insight into making each magic costume from Swift herself. The shoe collection of Eras Tour is alive for a long time.
