Taylor Swift Gives Courtside Heels a Buckled Twist in Stella McCartney

Taylor Swift brought Stella McCartney’s Elsa heeled sandals courtside on Saturday, wearing the British designer head-to-toe while attending the Knicks-Cavaliers playoff game with Travis Kelce at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.

The singer wore McCartney’s Elsa Patent Buckle Heeled Sandals in black. The high-gloss pair has a squared open toe and three slim patent straps, each fastened with small gold-tone hardware. The shoe features one strap low across the toes, another higher over the instep and a third acting as an ankle strap, giving the Elsa a more secured fit than the mules and barely-there sandals Swift has worn as of late.

McCartney’s design also uses a sculpted patent heel that flares outward through the upper portion before narrowing at the center and widening again toward the base. From the back, the shoe’s slim ankle strap loops through a keeper and fastens with matching gold-tone hardware, while the glossy black footbed keeps the sandal in one continuous finish from the square toe to the heel.

Swift paired the sandals with a denim-heavy Stella McCartney look, wearing faded wide-leg high-rise jeans with a black tank from the designer’s H&M collaboration and a black patchwork denim bomber jacket. She carried Dior’s black Cigale bag, which kept the styling close to the same dark palette as the sandals rather than pushing the courtside look into full fan-gear mode. Kelce also opted for a denim look, but nodded to who he was rooting for in a pair of Nike LeBron 7 “MVP” sneakers in Cavs colors.

Swift has been moving through open-toe heels all month, but the Stella McCartney pair is the most hardware-forward of the group. Just a week earlier, for another night out with Kelce, she wore Aquazzura’s Tequila sandals, a light brass metallic style with crystal-trimmed straps and a slim stiletto heel. Two days before that, she opted for The Row’s black Awar sandals, a minimalist block-heel style she wore with beige trousers and a white Stella McCartney peplum shirt. For another date night earlier in the month, she stayed closer to the clean-girl boho lane in Aquazzura’s beige Twist sandals, pairing the style with a floral Dôen dress and a woven bag.

As Swift continues her May pap-walk era, the singer has shown off several shoe styles, with open-toe silhouettes leading much of the run. Ahead, take a look at Swift’s best shoe looks from 2026 so far.
