A Swiftie in Brazil seems to have scored the single most exclusive Eras Tour souvenir
- Taylor Swift's Louboutin boot broke during the second night of the Eras Tour in Rio de Janeiro.
- One lucky Swiftie seems to have snagged the broken heel the singer tossed across the stage.
Forget concert T-shirts and friendship bracelets — it seems as if one lucky Swiftie managed to snag the single most exclusive Eras Tour souvenir possible, and it's none other than Taylor Swift's very own broken Louboutin heel.
The singer, while performing for the second night of the Eras Tour in Rio de Janeiro, experienced a wardrobe malfunction onstage when the bejeweled heel on one of her custom Louboutin boots came off.
For reference, Louboutin boots cost upward of $1,195 on the brand's website. The French fashion designer Christian Louboutin is best known for stiletto footwear.
A $5,995 pair of sparkly silver suede boots that would look right at home in Swift's Eras Tour wardrobe is the most expensive pair of boots listed on the site at the moment.
It's unclear exactly how Swift's shoe broke, though photos and videos circulating on X — formerly known as Twitter — give a glimpse at how the incident unfolded and its aftermath.
A video, viewed more than 60,000 times within a few hours of being uploaded onto X, shows the singer fumbling with her footwear onstage during a brief pause in the show.
In the 34-second clip, Swift can be seen beaming at the crowd and suddenly crouching down, appearing to adjust her boot before tossing something across the stage.
In another video clip, also uploaded onto X, the 33-year-old can be seen doing an introduction to her concert while tiptoeing on one foot.
Another photo of Swift, also posted on X, even shows the missing red sole of one of her Louboutin boots.
And where did the missing heel go?
This photo circulating among the singer's fan accounts on X appears to show that a Swiftie who was at the concert managed to snag it.
Somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, a fan with silver nails has Swift's broken heel stowed away in a mini checkered bag, the photo suggests. One-of-a-kind Eras Tour memorabilia indeed.
Business Insider was unable to independently verify the identity of the fan and whether the heel in the image was indeed from Swift's Louboutin boots at the concert.
Correction: November 22, 2023 — The story has been updated to clarify that it's a souvenir, not merchandise.
