Taylor Swift, who measures 5ft 9 ¼ (175.9 cm), boosted her already impressive height in a pair of high Christian Louboutin “Lady Peep” pumps while running errands in New York City.

“I’m 5’11”, so when I wear heels, it’s definitely a really good view that I have. I’m like 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot,” she told EW in 2007 about her height.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average height for adult women in the United States is approximately 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm).

This means that Taylor Swift, who measures 5 feet 9 and 1/4 inches (175.9 cm), is taller than the average American woman by about 5 inches (12.9 cm). She wears a shoe size 9 (US).

“I grew an inch [in the past year], which means I’m the latest developing human in the world,” Swift told People in 2015.

Taylor Swift wasn’t always confident, especially when it came to her height. The singer revealed to Girl’s Life in 2008 that she felt uncomfortable being taller than most girls in a group.

“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 revealed.

“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,” the 5ft 9 ¼ (175.9 cm) star added and confirmed she’d be happy to date someone shorter.

“I don’t have any height limits. Like, if a guy is shorter than me, that’s cool, if he sweeps me off my feet, you know? If a guy’s taller than me, that is cool too.”

In July 2014, the successful songstress used the sidewalk as her personal runway, showing off her long legs in the berry-colored pumps coupled with a flirty green-and-white sundress.

She completed the look with Ray-Bans, a chic Tod’s handbag, and her signature red lipstick.
