While most celebs have already slipped into minimal sandal mode, Taylor Swift has recently discovered a love for fat heels, and I don’t fault her; a good chunky-heeled shoe is far easier to walk in than a designer stiletto. And, while T-Swift is no stranger to designer stilettos, I have never gotten the sense that she loves then with quite the same ardor as some of her A-list peers. (Honestly, I admire, but in no way understand women who live in heels 24/7.) Yet, she does have those long (and extremely well-insured) legs to flaunt. Enter: the chunky-heeled short boot or sandal. Specifically, the black, chunky-heeled short boot or sandal. Because color is too predictable for April.

Taylor wore an imposing pair of glossy, patent leather Giuseppe Zanotti Lavinia Platform Boots to last weekend’s “I Heart Music” Awards. And in case you were wondering, that’s a six-inch chunky heel. All the better to stomp on Justin Bieber’s face with, my dear.

Here’s Taylor leaving Lady Gaga‘s 30th b-day party with squad member Lorde (not pictured here) in a black suede pair of chunky-heeled Miu Miu Peep Toe Pumps. This post will only continue to provide ample proof that T-Swift is a huge fan of Miuccia Prada.

Taylor recently donned these tan suede Saint Laurent Candy Platform Sandals to a dinner date at Madeo in LA, where she enjoyed a casual dinner with unexpected squad member Reese Witherspoon. You can barely see it here, but Taylor is also carrying a navy blue Jimmy Choo Alara Bag.
Stuart Weitzman Slits Sandals

Here she is at LAX in a pair of black suede Stuart Weitzman Slits Sandals, which are a great summer sandal for under $500. (Pro tip: you can find select sizes and colors of this style online for less than half of that.)
Vetements Platform Booties

Finally, here’s Taylor shopping at Isabel Marant in LA with one of her many supermodel friends, Lily Aldridge. She’s wearing a pair of towering platform booties from the French label Vetements.
