It appears that one fortunate Swiftie was able to obtain the unique Eras Tour memorabilia—that is, none other than Taylor Swift’s very own shattered Louboutin heel. Forget concert T-shirts and friendship bracelets.
The singer’s custom Louboutin boots broke off on stage during her performance on the second night of the Eras Tour in Rio de Janeiro due to a malfunctioning wardrobe.
On the Louboutin website, boots may cost up to $1,195. Christian Louboutin, a French fashion designer, is well-recognized for his high-heeled shoes.
Now, the most expensive pair of boots advertised on the site is a $5,995 pair of glittering silver suede boots that Swift would have worn on her Eras Tour.
Although the specific cause of Swift’s shoe breaking is unknown, images and videos that have been making the rounds on X, the former Twitter, provide some insight into the events leading up to and following the occurrence.
A short break in the performance features the singer fumbling onstage with her shoes in a video that went viral on X, receiving over 60,000 views in a few hours after it was posted.
Swift is seen grinning at the audience in the 34-second video before abruptly stooping down and seeming to adjust her boot before flinging something over the stage.
The 33-year-old is seen tiptoeing on one foot while performing an introduction to her concert in another video clip that was also posted to X.
Even the missing red sole of one of Swift’s Louboutin boots is visible in another image of her that was also uploaded on X.
And what became of the missing heel?
A Swiftie who attended the concert appears to have managed to take this shot, which is making the rounds on the singer’s X fan accounts.
A fan with silver nails appears to have Swift’s broken heel hidden in a small checkered bag somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, based on the image—truly unique pieces of Eras Tour souvenirs.
