When Taylor Swift performed at Kiss FM’s Wango Tango in Carson, California, on June 2, 2019, she embraced a vibrant rainbow-inspired look from head to toe.
Her colorful outfit was matched by equally eye-catching footwear, including a pair of Stella McCartney “Eclypse” sneakers that echoed the event’s playful palette.

Crafted in Italy from Stella McCartney’s signature vegan leather alternative, the chunky Eclypse sneakers feature a soft rainbow gradient that perfectly complements Taylor Swift’s colorful stage look.
The oversized silhouette is finished with sculpted ridged rubber soles, a lace-up front, a pull tab at the heel, and a classic round toe, blending bold color with the sneaker’s distinctive athletic-inspired design.

The same colorful aesthetic carried into the music video for “You Need to Calm Down”, where Taylor wore a series of standout designer shoes ranging from towering Giuseppe Zanotti platforms to Christian Louboutin rainbow sandals and whimsical Irregular Choice boots.
Below, we take a closer look at the memorable footwear featured on stage and throughout the video.
1. Sophia Webster Rosalind Sandals With a Pink Satin Robe
At the beginning of the video, Taylor wakes in a pink satin Agent Provocateur robe paired with pink tri-strap Sophia Webster Rosalind sandals.

The metallic sandals feature a subtle rainbow finish, substantial 2-inch platforms, and dramatic 5.5-inch block heels. Taylor wears them while reclining in a swimming pool, making the elaborate footwear an intentionally impractical part of the scene.
