okay 5'3" is short, but it does'nt make you unattractive, just small
i'm 5'8'1/2 and i love my height, a little hard to find guys but they'll grow; i can wait. i think height is beautiful so for every tall girl don't slouch, show off your height: you're more like a model than any of the rest of them!
lora said on 7/Feb/09
jamie, your way to young lol you are saying 5'4 isn't short? it is. you need to get over it. 5'5-5'7 is average height for a girls. 5'10 is not tall for guys at all. your comment made me laugh
Anonymous said on 6/Feb/09
Oh, so are you ALL saying now that people who are short AREN'T gorgeous? =/ If that IS what you mean, that's really rude too... girls come in all sizes and we're ALL beautiful. Plus, being too tall makes you look kinda gangly and awkward... no offence. Being a little bit taller than average (for ex. 5'5"-5'7") will be enough for me. 5'8" is a little too tall for a woman...

Kay well being 5'10 at 16 really sucks. I absolutely hate being tall its awkward and annoying, guys are always shorter and no offense but that is a definite turn off. I obviously wouldnt want to be short 5'8 is as short as i would ever want to be.. sorry to all you who are like 5'3 kay that is SHORT get over it. Anywho going to a school where the majority of people are under 5'9 really sucks, people always say that they're jelous of my height, but being tall is nothing special I would EASILY give away a few inches if I could (so that I could wear heels more often). And shopping for jeans and shoes oh dear don't even get me started on that! overall I guess it's not that big of a deal but being with someone shorter I just would find awkward and unnatural.

I don't think Grant is being rude really, that's just the way he feels. My brother is like 6'1 or a little bit more, and he doesn't like short girls because he said it feels like he is dating a little kid, it feels wrong to him.. well I understand, I don't think they mean to be rude, because I understand when short guys don't want to date a girl too tall for them.

Bob, if you've grown from 5'4 1/2-5'6" in 5 months then you are definitely in one of your growth spurts. My growth spurt is over (I got my period 3 years ago), so I might only be 5'5" or 5'6" when I stop growing. I've only grown from 5'3 1/2-5'4" in 5 months, so I'm definitely not in a growth spurt anymore...
Jamie said on 26/Jan/09
Grant, that was kinda rude. 5'6" isn't be considered short at all. It's a little above average (5'4" is average). And it's like you just said girls under 5'6" are bad. That was really rude, because I'm 5'4" (but I am 13, so I'm sure I'll grow a little more). There are even some girls who are under 5'!
Plus, no one can help our heights. We are how tall we are... and Thea? 5'7" is actually pretty tall. 5'4" is average, and 5'7" is 3 inches taller than that. So 5'7" really isn't "average" at all... plus, 5'3" ISN'T short. I just want to get that straight. 5'3" is 3 inches taller than 5', so 5'3" isn't short.
Nora said on 24/Jan/09
So Grant, every girl that's shorter than 5'6" isn't good? Come on. There are al lot of girls with that height or even shorter! I am 5'3" :) And i don't have problems with that! I can wear heels and boys likes shorter girls. =)
Grant said on 24/Jan/09
Being a guy that is 6'4", 5'11" is the perfect height. I can't tell you how awkward it is to kiss a girl that is under 5'6". It's almost not worth it...
Jamie said on 23/Jan/09
Ahh... well, NO ONE thought I was going to be tall because of my parent's heights (my mom is 5'6", a little on the tall side, but my dad is only 5'8", which can't be considered tall at all). I'm pretty sure a doctor said I was going to be average-heighted, because of my dad's height and everything (plus EVERYONE on my dad's side of the family is short, but most relatives on my mom's side of the family are a little tall)... I think I'll be 5'5" or 5'6" when I stop growing...
Jamie said on 22/Jan/09
How tall is Carrie Underwood? 5'3" (that's what I've heard)? 5'3" (160 cm) isn't considered short... it's considered average.
Anonymous said on 22/Jan/09
she wasn't very much taller than carrie underwood at the country music awards. look on getty images. she appears closer to 5'7". i know, she looks super tall but 5'11 would tower over little carrie underwood.
Jamie said on 19/Jan/09
I'd compare 5'8" for guys to 5'4" for girls... both are average. So therefore, 5'7" for guys would be compared to 5'3" for girls, which is just slightly shorter than average but not short at all!!
Bryan Ashford said on 19/Jan/09
I don't think Taylor stands 5'11", I think she stands more like 5'8 or 5'9", she just wears freaking high heels!!! As for me I'm 5'7" ft tall, my mom's 5'3" and my dad's 5'9". I screwed my development up by not having breakfast when I was 10 until I turned 16, and on top of that my bedtime was always 6 am, so sleep issues and not eating properly made me 5'7", cuz according to the doctor I was meant to be a tall person from short parents. Now I'm 17 and a half and I'm still going to bed at 6am and I'm still not eating the proper way, I weigh 107 pounds and I'm 5'7", I don't know if I'm growing any taller!
Suomynona said on 15/Jan/09
I don't know why you girls who are 12 and 13 years old care at all about your height. Guys don't really care; some are a little self-conscious and may feel weird dating a chick who's taller then them or going to a dance with someone who's taller then them, but most get over it. For example, one of my buddies is going to our winter formal this weekend with a chick who's about half a foot taller than him!
Also, for you short chicks, don't worry about that either. A lot of girls I go to school with are pretty short, and they're still really cute. Also, remember Shawn Johnson from the Olympics? She's 4'9, and I think she's one of the cutest girls in the world!
Anyway, this is coming from a dude who's about 5 years older than you (if you're 12 or 13), so when you get to really dating guys, they're not gonna care. Trust me.
Btw, anyone who gets the joke in my name, shout it out on a post. You're pretty clever if you get it :)
Take care,
Suomynona

Not sure how much genes has to do with it, I am 6'2 and my brother is 6'1 while both my parents are 5'6. Btw I have grown about 4 inches since HS and i am now a senior in college. Point is even if you are short now, doesnt mean you'll always be short

To every tall girl that want a taller guy. Come on, it's not that bad to date a smaller guy. I'm like 6'1" - 6'2" and 16 years old. I use to think it mattered if my boyfriend would be smaller. But my boyfriend is 1 or 2 inches smaller. I wouldn't go for anything smaller, but it doesn't bother my boyfriend that I'm taller, he think I should be proud and love my height, so I do. It hasn't always been that way, but know I'm in a school with so many tall people I just kind of blend in :)

A lot of the tall girls on here thinks 5'6" is "short". I don't think so at all! I think it's a bit tall actually (it's two inches taller than average). lol I guess I think 5'6" is tall because I'm still two inches shorter than that *sigh* lol I guess a lot of you will think I'm a shortie since you're all like 5'8"+. I'm actually one of the tallest in my class (and always has been)...

I'm turning 19 in April. I used to HATE my height. I was awkward and gangly until it all came together. Now I love it. I love the fact that I have long legs and sometimes intimidate people. I'm 6'1 now/
Sandie said on 10/Jan/09
I am 37 and a nurse. I was 6 feet tall when I was in the 9th grade and then grew one more inch when I was 18 and just out of high school. It is genetics that determin your high.Poor nutrition and different types of abuse (mental physical and drug abuse) can stunt your growth. I don't think that you are going to make yourself any taller than you are entended to be by eating healthy or exercising. You need to eat healthy and exercise to maintain healthy organs, mind, body, and soul, the good figure may come along with it but it is what you can't see on the inside that is going to matter in the long run ladies. Keep a possitive attitude, love who you are and know what you stand for and you will stand out above the rest no matter how tall you are. Take care and God bless!

She can't be 5'11. I am 5'10, and when i wear heels like Taylor's(link below) i am higher than she is in her heels. So, she is definetely 5'9-5'9.5!

5'11 claims are crazy!!!, standing next to a 6ft 1" LL Cool J @ the grammy nomination show, she looks 5'11.5-6ft in this photo with 3" heels on.

i'm like 5'9 & im turning 15 in April. i used to hate being this tall 'cause all the boys were shorter than me, but i go into highschool & there's a lotta tall boys. now i embrace my height & say "yeah, im tall." boys notice me more than my friends, my friends are like 5'6 or soo. but being tall is good, even though i don't wear heals, there's a lot of cute flats out there!
julie said on 6/Jan/09
Being tall is awesome! I'm seventeen and 6'2" & i love it. I feel like when your tall you kind of accomplished something that some people cannot lol. I play basketball so of course I'm proud of my height, but people don't have to play a sport to be proud of their height, they should be confident with any height because it's who they are and no one can change that. When people make fun of your height, like if your tall, I feel like their just jelious, becuase they are not that tall.

theOne said on 3/Jan/09
FelicityM... do you know how hypocritical you sound. First you try telling everyone that being a tall girl is good and a way to seek out confident guys, then you say dont date shorter guys. Your entire comment means nothing now because you have just proven you are a narrow minded, ignorant fool.
Don't date shorter guys, but guys who like women who are shorter than them are insecure? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING DUMBASS?
If guys who like shorter girls are ignorant and too insecure, then what does that make you not liking shorter guys???
theman said on 3/Jan/09
Caught her on New Year Rockin eve. Funny how her and Joe stayed away from each other. Anyways she happens to be a very cute girl at her height. But 5'11" is probably a bit high, she looked 5'10" to 5'10.5". I was suprised she was that tall, as alone she appears like a 5'5" girl. Shows how good porportions can look good at any height. The right shape can make a short girl look avg and a tall girl look avg in height.
Barbara said on 2/Jan/09
everyones comments make me so happy!!!!! I'm 5'11 and i use to hate it! But ever since i got to college a few years ago i realized how AWESOME being tall is. Guys NOTICE me now, rather than turn me down. All you young ladies just wait.....don't waste your time on little boys. And don't be insecure if your boyfriend is a few inches shorter..if it bothered him, he wouldn't be with you!!!
FelicityM said on 1/Jan/09
I am 16, 6 feet tall, and I love it...honestly, who else gets to have supermodel comments everyday...as long as you are confident, and keep up a good image, people just associate you with being beautiful and tall. Also posture is really important...tall girls who slouch are just screaming their insecurities. I think you just have to get past a point of caring and then realize its out of your control and learn to love it...people will envy you. And as for guys who like shorter women...whatever...that just means they're too insecure to be with a tall beautiful girl, and who wants a guy like that??? Its actually an excellent way of discovering the confident guys.
Although in my opinion, don't date someone shorter than you...its just weird.
Katie said on 1/Jan/09
I'm like 5'6-5'7, and I'm pretty comfortable with my height.. Occasionally I'll wish I was a little shorter, but whatever.. Oh and Soaps, you think size 9 is a big shoe? Ha! I wear a size 11 or 12, and almost never have anyone make big feet jokes. You should be happy with your feet!

I'm short-(5'0'' at age 18) but I don't really mind. I know evryone has something they'd like to change about themselves. There are girls in my classes that are like a foot taller than me, but I embrace my height. It's just something that makes me uniquely me. Plus, I love heels!
theman said on 29/Dec/08
Rob, based on what I read on this site (I enjoy reading this stuff) you could have a potential market by connecting these insecure individuals with counselors or therapist. Every kid wants to be shorter or taller, it really does not matter. Young girls wishing to be over 6'... What is this world coming to. The fact is your height is not worth wishing for, save it for something better and within your control. You can look good and accomplish many things at any height. Dang watch Little People Big World and learn something.

i actually do wonder why girls are getting taller now and days. Do they mature faster at age 10 or so than guys do around 16 ?
kayleigh said on 23/Dec/08
I met Taylor in Pittsburgh just over two years ago. I think she was 16 then and she was pretty tall. I'd say she was around 5'10" She had on cowboy boots so did my mom who is 5'9" and Taylor was a little taller than Mom.
As far as being tall goes, I love it. I turned 13 in Sept and I'm 5'11" right now. My sister turned 12 in Sept and she's 5'9" now. Not sure how tall either of us will get as Mom is 5'9" and Dad is 5'8". But I love it. I wear heels a lot along with skirts, dresses and capris. Because of where we live tho, there's no clothes for tall thin girls like us so Mom orders our dress pants and jeans online for us.
Anonymous said on 22/Dec/08
Im a guy around 20 but still 5'4, so to all the tall girls, u should be glad that u're tall. im sure u definitely wouldn't want to be at my height. wt makes it worse is that im a guy :) hearing u gals say that you hate being tall makes me feel better. but wt's true is that u should feel happy about your tall statures. u're the lucky ones
Tom said on 21/Dec/08
C'mon Richard whats with the negativity? There are ALOT of little ladies out there.
Thats how come some people are so shocked when there's a tall girl around like Taylor. I'm above average myself but it helps if you also have some good shoes yourself, if you're ever with a tall girl w/high heels.
RICHARD said on 21/Dec/08
Girls are definetly getting taller now and days. I go to college and see these tall,long-legged girls walking around,though some are over 6'1 and have some chubby stomachs,but wow I'm not the tallest guy ever so I feel like a dwarf next to them but it makes me feel good since I like like a child next to them and I get turned on by seeing those long legs;I however don't talk to any. I also saw this really tall girl at the store and man she had some large,plump tanned legs

Bun, don't be silly, girl!! 5'7" is a GREAT height! You are not too tall, and you can still wear high heels or flats and look great. Be happy with what you have and make the most of it. Remember, it really is about how you feel about yourself that makes somebody attractive. As to the weight, don't despair..you CAN do something about it. I know it's tough and it's hard work, but most goals are. Stick through it and you will reap the benefits of feeling better and being healthy!
bun said on 8/Dec/08
Im 5"7.5 and i despise it. I looove pretty tall girls though, just not for me. Ive always wanted to be 5"3 max. I think theres something feminine and adoreable about being petite. And whenever i felt like being tall, id just wear heels. I hate being the same height and or taller than most guys. I feel like an awkward manly loser all the time. I know that a lot of tall girls enjoy it because of the attention and blah blah blah, but thats just not me at all. The only way ill be happy with my height is if i lose like 20 pounds, and thats not working so im pretty much screwed.
Nik said on 3/Dec/08
I used to hate being tall when I was younger but now and during college I loved it!! I'm 6 feet tall and I'm so happy I am because I wouldn't be where I am in my career if I wasn't. Plus it's awesome to hear "are you a model?" every day :)

there is no way that she is 5'11 she is definitely more like 5'9.5

Tall girls are always the most Beautiful and most envied. You may get teased but its only because they're jealous.No matter how hard they try, they'll never be like you. Wear heels. Be happy.

Being tall is beautiful and you will learn to love it as you get older, I know I did!!

Hey Chloe, I'm a guy and I'm 17 and I'm 6'0 tall. Don't worry about being tall. There are plenty of guys out there that are as tall or even TALLER than me. I am cosidered above average height for my age. But don't worry, taller guys like me find a tall woman attractive. Sure heels can be a problem sometimes. (If you wore heels next to me you would be as tall as me.) But, aside from that love who you are! There are plenty of tall guys like me out there. Just make sure that anyone you date is about as tall as me or taller.

I am 13 years old and I'm 5'9. I still kind of don't like it, but I'm definitely learning to appreciate it. But it still gets really annoying when you get weird looks for being so tall or when people are constantly telling you," your sooo tall," or "you need to stop growing," or my personal favorite, "i feel so short when i stand next to you" every single day. Seriously, I know how tall I am, and I think they do too so do they really need to go over that every day. For the people that do this, don't do it any more, the tall person in your life will appreciate it, trust me. If your tall, try reversing, ask the people, "whay are you so short?" When people ask you how's the weather you can do one of two things. a) If you have a water bottle handy, dump it on them and say it's pouring OR b)if you don't have a water bottle, spit on them and tell them it's raining. But besides the comments, being tall is great!

I have always been tall and love it. I have a 3 year old daughter now who is 3'6 and they say she will be tall too. The only disadvantage to her being tall now is everyone assumes she is 2-3 years older than she is and thinks she is very immature. I think it has forced her to grow up faster than she needs to, but I am going to teach her to love her height as she gets old enough to understand!

When I was 12, I was 5'6. Now I am 22 and 6'. I have learned that it really is not a big deal. When I was in high school I felt very akward, but now I don't feel any different than anyone else. Just love the height, don't hate it. =)
Hannah said on 15/Nov/08
Oh cool, we're exactly the same height! Most of the time, I love being 5'11, since it's really tall but not so tall that you're the tallest person in the room. However, if I wear heels, like Taylor says, I'm a couple inches taller than six feet, and that's sort of annoying since people have to crane their necks to look at you when they talk. My best friend is 4'11 so we make quite a pair.
Brita said on 14/Nov/08
I am fifteen and six foot tall. I used to hate hate hate hate HATE it, but now I'm starting to realize that I am noticed, and I like that. High school boys are short, and usually not worth your time, but I've heard by college, it's a WHOLE different ball game. Love being tall, and be proud of it.
Tracy said on 12/Nov/08
She's always wearing super-high heels which surprises me. I'm almost 6ft and I never wear heels. I mean, what's the point? I HAVE found a lot of great clothing in longer lengths (unlike years ago when you couldn't find ANY tall sizes!)

Wow I always complain about beign tall but this girls wins I am only 5'9 or 5'10 and I always complain but this coment that hilary did on 12 NOV 2008 made me realise that is no bad being tall by the way I love the jonas brothers but tall rocks yeah yaya
And I am only 14 years old but the good part ias that when your tall you can wear whatever you want and you look elegant you don't look horrible like a umpalumpa that are less than 5 '4 those girls are super little tall rocks once agin well by the record some times I get pivk on but something that saves me is thata I loooked super prwetty so almost all tall girls looked like models I amm scared jajaj
Hillary said on 12/Nov/08
I'm 6 feet tall and frankly have share time listening to girls who are under 5'10'' whining about being too tall. If you can fit into regular pants consider yourself lucky.
Also, any guy who won't date you because you're tall than them is either very superficial or very insecure. In either case probably a waste of your time. My boyfriend of many years is only 5'10'' and if I want to wear heels he encourages me to. He never makes me feel like I should be I secure a out my height.
Nonetheless, I'm not a fan of being the centre of attention so making myself 6'4'' isn't really that appealing. :P
amy l said on 11/Nov/08
she's no way 5'11. prob about 5'7. i saw pictures with her and the jo bros and she was their height with heels
Lizzie Duncan said on 11/Nov/08
Yeah, I'm 6 feet tall and I'm 18, slightly taller than Taylor Swift. The only downside are the shorter guys I think, they're intimidated. Also, finding pants that are long enough. But I found this great magazine that sells pants with up to a 37 inch inseam, they drag on the floor for me and thats a first! =D
Oh, and Ky, dont worry about guys not liking you cuz you're not tall. Wait til college, then you can hang out with the basketball team, haha. I know some volleyball girls where I'm at and one of friends is 6'5, she's awesome. So no worries, you dont need to bother yourself with guys until college anyway.
George said on 11/Nov/08
Caitlin...
Let me give you some advice as a tall guy(I am 6'6")
Hit on the tall guys, we love tall girls.
You might have to go out of your way, but I can promise you that most guys near my height cannot tell the difference between 5'7" and 6'1". We like dating tall girls for several reasons.
It helps that a lot of tall guys are also athletes.
I know from my tall female friends that it can be rough, but I would strongly recommend flirting with tall guys. We typically like tall girls more than short girls, but tall girls and short girls are both interested in us...so we may not always notice the cute tall girl
tall said on 11/Nov/08
im a guy (6'7) and there is not one girl at my school that is over 5'10 so a taller girl would be nice...because most people look really short to me....i mean 5'10 girls are almost a foot shorter than me so it kinda sucks with no one even close to you so i say dont be ashamed all tall girls because theres always someone out there taller than you (well unless you are that 7ft 6 woman who would be a foot taller than me even!)
ky said on 10/Nov/08
Woah, it's great to see so many people proud of their height! I'm 5'8 and some days I love it, others I don't. But I have scoliosis, so when i get surgery I'll be like 5'10! I'm just scared that i end up really liking a guy but he won't like me 'cause I'm too tall..
Caitlin said on 10/Nov/08
btw on my last comment... in 6th grade i was 5'3 ,in 7th grade was 5'6, in 8th grade i was 5'9, now i'm 6ft... i dont want to be any taller and i dont think i will be... i'm clumsy enough so i dont care to be the center og attention and since im tall ppl look at me more and when i fall it's a long way down... lol
Caitlin said on 10/Nov/08
I'm 17 and 6 ft... i'm pretty thin as well. i like my height only because i can put on weight and be able to reach things, other than that i'd like to fit in. I don't like it because i'd like to feel small with guys and that never happens. I don't care what any guy says.... they are intimidated by tall girls and they generally wont try to flirt with me because of it. Also i end up being the leader of groups and most girls will ask me to do the physical tasks they are incapable of ( mainly lifting heavy objects) I'm NOT a MAN!!! quit treating me like one. - thats a day in my tall life

i've always been the tallest in my class, + i've always hated it. i hate heels too, cuz i get enough tall comments even w/ out them. i'm 5;10. i'm starting to get better tho, and girls like taylor, blake lively, + nicole kidman really make me feel better about it (o ya, + my boyfriend is 5'8, and it doesn't really bother me!) i think i really am getting better ebout it! thanks for the help
Kaylee J said on 8/Nov/08
Thanks for all the support guys,im 5'9 and in 9th grade i used to be bothered by it, but now i LOVE it,i always get comments on being a model, saying i have look older, sure comes in handy when getting into certificate 15 movies :)
i think Taylor Swift's a very pretty girl and should flaunt the fact that she looks as lovely and tall as she is, GO TAYLOR !! lots of guys love taller girls nearly all of them i know do, ur sooo lucky if ur 5'8+
ROCK IT !!
enjoy every moment of it, STRUT YOUR STUFF GIRLS :)

Jenny said on 7/Nov/08
I'm 5'8" and I hate it. I know I should be thankful but I'm at least a foot taller than all my friends. (No exaggerations, my best friend is the shortest girl in our class) The only plus is it helps me with volleyball, but the college players are like, 6'5" Wow.

i dont see how that would be awkward at all for taylor and joe jonas, it is only 1 inch difference. I think the maz. height difference is 3 to 4 inches.
I am 15, 6 feet tall. Some days I love it, and other days when i want to fit in I dont. But ever since I started to model, my confidence has boosted alot ! Highly suggest it. and dont be scared to date someone shorter. its for who they are, not their height ! ♥
ally said on 18/Oct/08
im 15 and 5ft8 and i love it now! i was REALLY tall for my age when i was younger and it was kinda awkward and embaressing towering over the boys. But to all the girls who feel like that- girls stop growing and boys start so in the end you will love your height :)
Caomhe said on 17/Oct/08
I met her in her London concert and we laughed so much cause we are both the same height 5ft 11 ish. She said "You dont know how glad I am to meet a non-model girl my height. You've made my day" Haha. It was fun and I love being tall. x
CupcakeWhore said on 14/Oct/08
The only way to figure out how tall she is, is by measuring her yourself. XD
So we'll never REALLY know..
There's a lot of crap on the internet about the heights of celebrities.
For example:
Zac Efron..
They claim he's: 5' 10

At the Teen Choice Awards Taylor was in flats and was taller than Joe Jonas. He's 5'10, so she has to be at least 5'11

I think that Taylor actually is 5'11 because i saw her in a picture standing beside Fergie who is like 5'8 and she looked at least like 3 inches taller. I am suppsed to be 5'10 when i stop growing and have always been worried about that but now i look up to taylor for wearing heels and being comfortable with her heigh and who she is. You rock Taylor!
Carla said on 27/Sep/08
I would defend that she's really 5'11 because joe's said that he's about 5'10, but if that was truth she is not that tall because she looks shorter than he.

I agree with Is. She looks a tad under 5.9. I think it's the shoes or the hair makin her look 5.11.
Jackie said on 21/Sep/08
Wow, 6'3". If you don't mind me asking, are you very thin? Because that is one of the reasons why I wish that I was taller- I am 5'2" and I am constantly gaining and losing weight!! I mean, I am kinda thin (weighing less than my 5'0" friends).
But I can gain, like, 3 pounds in a day! Then I will lose it by the next morning! It is so bizarre and weird and I hate it! I mean I guess I need to gain weight because I'm growing, but it's just really annoying because I always have "skinny days" and "fat days".
Mindy said on 21/Sep/08
Wow ur really kind of an Amazon huh. Every guy I've ever talked to has agreed: at a certain point you just look weird if your a woman and above 6ft. I'm 5-7 and I love it, but still. 6-3, I'd hate it. be proud I guess, I just think...

Ladies & Gents -
If you are under 5'10" you are not considered tall, sorry haha
I am a 6'3'' 21 yr old female and I absolutely LOVE it! I wear 3-4" heels too. I'm not afraid to be who I am, I'm unique. Ladies, don't be embarrassed of your height! Embrace it! Be happy with what you have, it's a gift.

Is Taylor Swift really 5'11? I found this picture of her with selena gomez and they look the exact same height. Selena is only 5'5" yet taylor is 5'11 but they look similar in height. Granted selena may be wearing heels but i doubt she would be wearing six inch heels in this picture.
Samantha Tarascio said on 16/Sep/08
I'm 18 and 6' 2" in other words a giant to most people. I was the second tallest girl in my school as a freshman, my best friend is 6' 3". I used to hate it, no guys wanted to date me cause I was so tall and even though i love to wear heels i wouldn't. Now 4 years later I'm happy to be 6' 2" yes i'm taller than most girls and guys, but you can never lose me in a crowd, i can reach everything in the suoermarket and when i wear heels my legs look like a supermodels. Even the guy situation worked out my boyfriend is 6' 5" : )
Katie said on 15/Sep/08
Im 5'11 and 13 years old. Im taller than both of my parents (not by much because my parents are both really tall) and im taller than most guys, all of my bestfriends and my sisters. I sometimes like to be tall, someones i wish i could just shrink to my bestfriends height (5'3) but you know, this is the way god made me and im happy with it. When I go shopping for jeans or pants i do have to search for the 'long' pants but i really hate when they flare out at my foot. its really nice to see other people just as tall, and taller than me:)

Cara said on 8/Sep/08
I am 18 and 5'9"....I actually think I have a nice height, I think the only reason it ever bothered me is because my two best friends are 5'5" and 5',and my two best guy friends are my exact height, so heels made me 3 or more inches taller. So that is really awkward and I was really insecure about it. I never wore heels around them, at graduation I would take pictures in my heels, cause I was so tall. Now that I am in college, all the guys are taller than me :) Its amazing, i just had to get out of my small town to realize. I love being tall, and it is true about the jean thing, I love long jeans and they are so hard to find lol!
SLS said on 8/Sep/08
I'm 5'11" and i absolutely love it 95% of the time, i don't think its an awkward height or very tall at all, sometimes i wish i was taller! i love wearing heels, its just annoying when guys tell me i shouldn't wear them cause i'm already tall, and when people complain there pants are always too long at least you can hem them, its not like i can ADD material to my pants. but other than that its great

I really hate wearing heels bc wit them on im about six feet im usually as tall as the guys i like but all my best friends are so much shorter than me. Its kinda hard sometimes and it makes me want to sit more than i stand but i have realized that the more time i waste feeling ashamed of being tall i should just not are and no one else will. And plus everyone says i should be a model lol

Chanel said on 6/Sep/08
I am 16 and 6ft tall and at some moments i really hate being this tall cause all my friends are shorter than me so i used to hunch a little so i would be a little shorter but i have stopped that now. Another thing that i hate is that it is extremely hard to find a guy that is tall in my country their are a few but they always seem to want to go to go with the shorter girls which really pisses me off at times. I do love my height at moments cause i always get asked if i model and the ppl for the modeling company for my country even asked me to do it they even asked the owner if i could do it even though i was 16 which is younger than the age limit but i declined. I also like being tall when i wear high hells with a short dress my legs always look good in that cause there so long :)

levis jeans, hollister, and most desginer jeans are super long. Im like 6 ft and true religions, serfontaine, seven jeans, and joes jeans are always the perfect length (not to mention fit) for me.
Jackie said on 31/Aug/08
I am considered to be kind of tall for my age- I am a 12 year old girl and am 5'2". I always feel kinda strange- I tower above my 4'11" boyfriend (Then again girls grow tall before boys do.) Most of my friends who are girls are around 5'0". I sometimes wish I was shorter because alot of random people I don't know come up to me and go "You're tall." And I'm just like "..um...ok.."
lol it has been in my family history to stop growing at my age (I havn't grown in about a year but I'm pretty sure I'm still growing.) But I try to keep my head held high and be proud of my height,and Taylor makes me feel better. :)

Being tall isn't something to feel ashamed of but neither is being short. I really don't think it's a big deal either way. It's just really annoying when you read comments like "taller people are thinner" or "shorter people are prettier". All of you must've seen people of different heights who are fat, skinny, striking, ugly, clever, funny, interesting; what makes you all think height has anything to do with it? I'm not saying everyone is beautiful (sorry!), i'm saying height has nothing to do with beauty. Models are chosen because of long limbs not because of they're height and yes, amazingly, you can have long limbs if you're shorter. It's about proportion not height and quite honestly, unless you're the tallest/shortest woman in the world, nobody cares. What makes you all think you're so special?
don'twanttostartadebate said on 30/Aug/08
(in defense of some of my shorter friends) not all short people are chubby or fat, but it is more common, and some consider me tall, but I do have a bit of meat on me. No ofense or anything, but I really don't like the people who say sterotypical things like " the taller you are the thinner." People need to be happy with the way they look.
Anonymous said on 27/Aug/08
I am 5'11" and my younger sister is 6'0" tall. She has always loved being tall, but me not so much... Just like a lot of other comments on this, I am always so much taller than all of my friends and for pictures and such I always feel awkward and out of place, not to mention the heel thing.
The main problem both my sister and I have had is finding jeans and pants that are long enough for our legs. I wear a 37" inseam and have only be able to find one store (Tall Girl) that is about an hour from my house that sells jeans for tall women.
Has anyone else found a good place to buy jeans made for tall women?
IsabelleM. said on 27/Aug/08
i am barely under 6 feet,sixteen years old, and loving every minute of it!! I mean sure i'm taller than ninety percent of my school but its great...i always look fantastic compared to all the shorties, and as far as the guy thing goes, the hottest guys are the taller ones, and any guy who dates you is going to have to be really confident about himself in order to not pale in comparison to you which is all the better right? Being tall is so fun i would never want to be any shorter...i don't really wear heels if i can avoid it, but i get the "where do you model?" question all the time and people are dead serious. If you are a tall beautiful girl, and can always keep up your image and confidence, people just think you're drop dead gorgeous, trust me...they're staring with envy!!! (but please never date a guy more than an inch shorter than you...its just...eww.
amanda said on 26/Aug/08
I'm 5'9" and I LOVE IT.
There's a lot of clothes that tall women can wear that looks reeeally good on them. I actually think short girls are more chubby and tall girls are more slim. I'm tall and slim, Taylor's tall and slim. But you can't really judge weight with height because everyone's different. These are all just opinions. When it comes down to it, a survey said tall girls are taken more seirously then short girls in interview and what not. But if you are short, you should love yourself and love what you can't change.

Oh my... She's really tall but still gorgeous. IMHO tall womens problem is about their weight. By my experiences I can tell that tall women tend to be chubby more than shorters.
But still there is tons of girls who are tall and sexy,hot or cute.
Taylor Swift, Charlize Theron, Miranda Kerr etc. They're all gorgeous.
My taste is more like petite women. Like Alexis Dziena, Avril Lavigne, Emilie De Ravin, Elisha Cuthbert & of course Mila Kunis... List goes on like that...
I just love petite women but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate talls.
So petite ladies... Why don't you just give me a call :P
SadaEKE said on 23/Aug/08
I'm 6'1" and I don't really like tall women (well there is always exceptions)cause they tend to be large.
And I think that petite women are way hot. They are just adorable (still there is exceptions)
And Hailey... I would definitely go out with you (did I just hit on?)

Taylor is one of the cutest and yes she is very tall for my standarts. I think women should be (like your choise :D ) around 5'2" - 5'6"...
Tall women tend to be like wrestlers. And I don't like chubby girls.
BTW... I'm 6'1" and I think I'm a little short :D
And Hailey... I would definitely go out a woman like you. You ROCK!
Michelle said on 19/Aug/08
I'm 5'10 and I LOVE to wear heels but when i do wear them I'm almost 6'0-6'2. All of my best friends are atleast 5'5 and shorter so I always feel like a freak when I am wearing heels. It really sucks, I wouldn't mind being just a little shorter, maybe 5'8ish would be perfect!
Anonymous fan said on 18/Aug/08
Actually I met her in person (she was really nice). Im 5'8 I was wearing flats and she was wearing sneakers and we stood eye to eye, she's really no more then 5'8.
BI08 said on 18/Aug/08
WTF!!!! 5'9" is a perfect height! Idk what you girls are complaining about. I wish I were 5'9". It's tall without being too tall, you can date just about any guy, and it's not an awkward height. Try being 6'1". That's a little too tall for me but what can I do about it? I ALWAYS get comments. Probably at least 3 a day. It's not like I have elephantitis or anything. I'm just tall.
Julie said on 14/Aug/08
Honestly, I give you all a medal for the comfort you're giving tall people but think about how short people feel. I'm 5'0" and aspire to become a model(Runway,photo shoots, campaigns, etc.) that will break the height barrier in the fashion industry. I can understand tall peoples' self-consious about their height. Being short, you're always looked down upon, made fun of, weight-concerned(Read Emily : ) comment), and the least likely to be noticed by tall males according to your comments.
DB said on 14/Aug/08
To all you ladies that don't like being tall: I LOVE TALL WOMEN! I am 6'3" and I have known several sexy women that were 5'10"+.. there is nothing sexier than a tall, long-legged woman that knows how to handle herself! Plus I don't have to bend down for a kiss! A lot of folks love the tall ladies, so don't think of it as a bad thing! Much love to the tall girls!
Karlie said on 11/Aug/08
Hey Callie.
I think that your comment was very inspirational because I am 5'11 and only 13 years old! When you wrote that you needed to be tall to be a model it made me feel special and realize that God made me this way for a reason !
Callie said on 10/Aug/08
This comment is to anyone small in stature who may have taken offence to my comment... it was not meant to be taken negatively to people small in stature but postitvely to those who have height. If you are short you can be a model but just a parts model. So just have fun with how ever tall you are !
wow... said on 8/Aug/08
I'm a guy thats 6'2 w/o shoes on...i'm taller than a lot of people at my school yet still not tall enough to be TOO tall because everyone else is around 6'0. i think girls who are 5'8-6'0 are sexi. ;] they are easier to kiss. lol. but seriously, height doesn't really matter to me...its more about the person.
Megan said on 6/Aug/08
Wow, I'm 5'11 too and it sucks sometimes, but I heard guys like tall girls :)
Emily : ) said on 3/Aug/08
Hey Girls ,
Well I am 5'9 and 11 years old and the tallest person in school including teachers lol.But I love being the height that I am because When you are smaller, you Gain 3 pounds and it looks like way more. I look to be about 6'0 and look foward to it. It can get really annoying , the comments I mean, ecspecially from guys(like from your 18 year old brother who is only an inch taller than you). So I say Just enjoy being yourself and don,t forget that others share what you are. You guys should respond to this lol only if you wabt.
Karilyn said on 30/Jul/08
I'm kinda short compared to most of you.. only 5'9". I went through the whole "Oh Crap- I am WAY taller than my friends" saga that you all are going through. I know it is a total bummer that you look over the heads of most of the guys.. but Ladies...That is THEIR problem. If they make fun of you because your tall they are just insecure because of their own teeny tiny-ness. I am proud to be the height I am .. I would never trade it for anything. I hope all of you are proud of how tall you are. It is truly nothing to be sad about!
Alison said on 30/Jul/08
Girls,i know... It's hard to be tall(er) than most ppl. In the 7th grade i was already 5'9. All the guys would make fun of me and even some of my friends! but they didn't mean it like the guys did. but don't worry,just don't let them get to you, "they're just short" tell em' they'll grow trust me;;the guy i liked in 7th grade was only 5'6 but now in 9th hes 6 feet! && he likes me! So it'll al work out trust me :)
Jen said on 24/Jul/08
I am 16 and 5'8. I didn't realize I was tall until I got into highschool. I used to hate it, but now I just remember that there isn't anything I can do about it. I can either be tall and self-concious or tall and confident! Embrace your height girls!! Plus, there are a lot of tall celebrities.
Taylor said on 23/Jul/08
Hey Tawnee, I totally get the modeling thing. Everyone says I should be a model, probably mostly because of my height, but oh well.
And Lauren, if you ever read this again, PLEASE don't feel like a freak. Guys (and everyone else) think its cooler when you're comfortable with who you are, height included! But I still feel weird because, like you, my best friend is 5'3'', so when I talk to her, its just weird. OH well. But guy wise, just go with basketball players. Seriously! They could care less about how tall a girl is, and actually they like taller girls. I've been hanging out with this 17 year old 6'2'' basketball player, and he hasn't said a word about my height, which is reallyyyy refreshing. Good luck!
Brooke said on 23/Jul/08
Im 13 and 5'10 I hate being soo tall!I know the shorest people ( I have a friend who is 4"11'. I just fell so out of place when i am with my best friends. No one really makes fun it just a problem that I have with myself.
Natt said on 22/Jul/08
Hey girls! Don't worry about your height! When I was in the sixth grade I was already 5'9 now I'm 5'11 at 16 if your friends make fun of you you should know its just jealousy!
-alexx* said on 21/Jul/08
im 14 and 5'9 and a half.. i hate the fact that im tall. all my friends are short. my bestfriend is like 5'1 and when we walk side by side it feels really weird. also, the guys havent even come close to being as tall as me. i love wearing heels, but i never do because i would look weird. my legs are so long..and my tourso is so short. so i look like a giant. my family tells me that one day i will love being tall? when is that day going to come. i like being tall for one reason..its when i play basketball, but i cant go anywhere without somebody saying omg look how tall she is. hopefully one dayy i will learn to apprieciate my heightt. ♥
stella said on 20/Jul/08
OH and kellme, i have the same problem with jeans. go to buckle, they have loads of extra long jeans. rock it.
Gabrielle said on 19/Jul/08
Haha, KEK, Taylor Swift is not short, YOU'RE the one who's really tall. But I love that she's so tall.
Hailey said on 17/Jul/08
Girls it is better to be tall! I am so short, I am barely 5'1". This is really difficult, because i am a model. I read the comment that Callie said, and it made me sort of frusterated, girls if your short and you still want to model do it, I am a petite model. So don't let your hieght challenge you, have fun with it!
stephen said on 10/Jul/08
I'm a 6'1 dude, I don't care much about girls heights, tall is cool or short, depends how their personality is and if they're in decent shape. Taylor Swift is definately pretty tall, I saw her in TV maybe a month ago and I'd guess shes atleast 5'10 or so.
jacqueline said on 10/Jul/08
im 5 '8 and three quarters so bascically 5'9" and 14. i used to hate being tall but now im getting used to it. seeing taylor swift, shes such an inspiration to me shes tall, beautiful, a great person, and awesome singer! shell make being tall a trend !
Lauren said on 10/Jul/08
Hey Taylor,
I 5'9/12 and all my friends are like 5'1. Its really weird. I cant where heels because people think im a freak but on the bright side i can model and tall peole look thinner and better in clothes
steve said on 8/Jul/08
I'm a guy and about 6'3". To all the girls who think they are too tall, don't. Being tall is one of the most attractive things in a girl, especially if she isn't insecure about it.
KEK said on 3/Jul/08
Taylor Swift is short.. I'm 6'2" and 17 yrs old. I love being tall cuz it's unique and I've learned to relish the attention. Sure, it may be a little harder to find a date but it's worth it when you get that game winning block or rebound or when your strutting the runway. Be tall. Be unique.
Callie said on 1/Jul/08
I am 14 5'10" and 125lbs Sometimes I feel kinda sad about how tall I am... But now I have started modeling and I find it more as a gift. You have to be at least 5'8" to be a model and if you really want to make a career out of if you need to be like 5'9" or more... so to all the other tall girls out there dont fell bad about your height embrace it!
brianna =) said on 1/Jul/08
im 15 an im almost 5'9" sometimes it a problem when alot of my friends are like 3 feet shorter then me i feel kinda strange standing around them .
but thats something u have that makes u different
people know not to make comments about my height because ill turn around an make them eat there words lol you jus got to be confident about it
there are something you cant change an jus have to make the best of it ! =)
CV;) said on 28/Jun/08
5'9" isnt bad at all! thats a good tall. at least you can wear heels. whenever i walk around in flip flops ppl always look at my feet and then give the once over like 5 times. im like F YOU!
Tawnee B. said on 27/Jun/08
Taylor, i totally know how you feel. Im 15 and 5'9'' and i aint slower down any time soon. I love wearing high heels tho, especially with my skinny jeans and wherever im going with my heels on, everyone stares me down as they walk by like "Woah! Look at that girl, she's looks like big bird!" Because i have a long nose too. But at least i know that i have a way better chance of being a supermodel then some tiny little 5'6" chick! Haha.
nadine said on 27/Jun/08
i am 18 and about 5'11" and tonight some guy called me a giant! i wanted to cry! i've had a lot of moments like that. being tall is very difficult whether its attractive or not.
kevin sprague said on 26/Jun/08
i love her with all my heart and i want to do something in the bed wit her
Taylor said on 26/Jun/08
I cannot believe that Taylor Swift is 5'11! I'm at least 5'9 and this makes me feel a lot better. Everyone, including random people on the street, say that I look like her, and this just makes it more awesome that she's around the same height as me, and having the same name doesn't hurt either.
CV;) said on 25/Jun/08
Im 16 and almost 6'1" and although it can be annoying to deal with ppls comments, sometimes the attention is nice..lol. you can't control how tall u are so if youre tall, work it! its better for some sports and you look modelesque. if ur short, do the same! you'll always be the right height for guys and you'll never feel awkward around ur friends.
maolee said on 24/Jun/08
I'm only 5ft, very proportional, but wished I was taller. Taller girls get a ton of attention! Is there any plastic surgery for height? Haha!
bobcatwrestler said on 24/Jun/08
I just recently saw Taylor at the 2008 CMA festival. I was about three feet away from her when she was signing autographs. She def is not 5'11. I would say more around the height of 5'8 or 5'9. She is very skinny and I think her being skinny makes her look taller than she is.
lindy said on 19/Jun/08
i am 18 and 5'11"...in high used i always felt like i was hovering over everyone else, but now that i am in college, being tall is a great thing..i mean, who are all of those super tall, hot basketball players going to date? am i right? lol :D
MD said on 18/Jun/08
Bama Girl, you're only an inch or so below average height for a girl in this country. I wouldn't call you short, at all.
Chelly said on 17/Jun/08
Dudes. Im like 5'9 and a bit and i sort of wish i was shorter because im only 14. I wouldn't mind being tall when im older but not right now. Though i do hate wearing heels because im taller than all the cute guys and dudes dont really like that.
BamaGrL said on 16/Jun/08
Man it sucks to be short. I'm only 5'3" and a lot of people are always teasing me about being short and it makes me depressed a lot.
BellanalitaBetsey said on 12/Jun/08
I am a little under 6 foot and LUV it! honestly all those shortys are missing out...not that they can do anything about it but...whatever...and when it comes to guys, theres a million handsome 6 foot 2's out there. Also being model height you always look sooooo much better in clothes. Everyone secretly would love to be taller...its a fact!
Mckinzie said on 7/Jun/08
im 6'2 and i wish i was really really short for once so i could match my bf's size.

Yessss!!!! finally, a female singer i like who is tall. i'm the tallest in my grade. i'm almost 5'8. like really close. thanks 4 making me feel better. now i really realize what a gift it is. Tall girls rock!!!
Junebug said on 27/May/08
girls shouldn't be embarrased about there height. im 5'9 and i just turned 13 a couple of months ago. im the tallest 8th grader in my school. i love being tall. i hope to be as tall as taylor someday, or taller. =]
limy said on 26/May/08
Girls, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of being tall.
I'm 5'9", 126 lbs and proud of it. Plus I wear heels almost 24/7 boosting me up to 5'11" or even 6'.
And when it comes to guys, 5'10" or above is a great height for me. Personally, I like the tall & thin modelesque type of guys <3.
Viper said on 12/May/08
She really doesnt look 5-11 to me.
Karlinn said on 26/Apr/08
Yep I'm 5'11" like Taylor and I love it. I have never wanted to be shorter. I don't really care about guys height though, I once dated a guy that was 5'6"...it doesn't matter to me at all...my boyfriend now is also 5'10"
anonamous said on 20/Apr/08
wow!
you guys are all tall! I thought i was tall (5'8) and im 14, but thats nothing compared to you!dont be self conscious about your heights though. almost every girl at my school wishes they could be as tall as me. (im the second tallest 8th grade girl out of 300+ 8th graders. they all want to be tall because they think its AWESOME!!!!!
Julianne said on 16/Apr/08

Macy, don't you worry about the stars that are under 5'5! Take a look at the supermodels! They are alwyas tall, even short little Kate Moss is still taller than the average American/Canadian woman.

macy said on 4/Mar/08
I'm very happy that there are tall female celebrities. Most of the celebrities are under 5'5" and it make a lot of tall women feel self-conscious about their height. I am 5'11" and wear heels almost everyday. The only problem is finding clothing that comes in tall. I notice that most stores have a petite section but almost never a tall section.
anonamous said on 2/Mar/08
she doesnt seem like she would be 5'11"

she's 5'11" w/out boots or anything. its in justine magazine, huge 5 page spread and interview. plus, i met her last week after her concert and asked her how tall she was w/out boots and she said 5'11"
Anonymous said on 16/Jan/08
She was on the Tonight Show tonight and was definitely shorter than Jay and barely, if at all, taller than Bill Maher. Looked to be wearing boots.
El said on 9/Jan/08
I figured she would be 5'7" or 5'8" but then again I've never seen her standing as often. I've only seen her lying down in the grass in the music video for "Tim McGraw" and lying in roses in "Our Song". She doesn't seem to stand much.
Patti said on 9/Jan/08
I've read all the comments below from girls who either love or hate their height. At 6 ft tall, I've gone thru both stages in my life. Many years back, I came to accept my height and now wear 2 inch heels most days. Hey, if you're already towering over everyone, what's another 2 inches? Plus, now I get to wear nicer shoes! I think it's great to see such a tall female celebrity out there. Especially one so young. Maybe this will help all the tall teenagers watching realize that being a tall female IS something to be proud of!
5'9 cheerleader. said on 6/Jan/08
being tall is something a girl shouldnt be embarrassed of. most of the people i know feel inferior to tall girls.. its model material. who sees a short model.. or who WOULDNT want the status of a model? having the height should make anyone feel good just the IDEA of it. esp when models are looked up to. and the whole thing about a lot guys preferring shorter girls, totally not true. so to the girls who 'hate' being tall-have confidence. THAT is what will make you or break you.
randomness said on 27/Dec/07
ew, i hate being tall! i'm 5'11 and i'd much rather be 5 foot tall than have to wear flats everyday of my life lol, i wouldnt even dare put a pair of heels on lol!

Wow, I knew she was tall just not as tall as she is. Model with a guitar, good one! She does look it though. I'm 5'7 and I'm the tallest girl out of me and my girl friends and I thought I was tall. Haha. (:

Katelyn Vanrensburg said on 4/Dec/07
I have to agree with 'Taylor W' on this one, Taylor Swift is much more around like height of 5'9 - 5'10. But in her cowboy boots yeah she'd be about 5'11 :)
6ftkate said on 1/Dec/07
i knew she was tall but not this tall. thats fantastic!
kt said on 13/Nov/07
her height + slim figure + blonde is not going to hurt her career. She's a model with a guitar.
kinda reminds me of a very young faith hill.
anonomous said on 29/Oct/07
I love Taylor Swift and I hate being tall. I am a girl and I'm like 5'11 1/2 and about a little over 6'0 in heels and I feel like a freak because no one else is this tall except models and now I feel alot better about my height.
TaylorW said on 22/Oct/07
Dude, I saw her with my sis after a concert. She was barefoot and came right up to us. She is tall, but I am 6'2" and I was atleast 4 inches taller than her. I'd say she is more like 5'9" or 5'10", which is still tall!
Crissy said on 15/Oct/07
I'm 5'7 1/2 and in heels about 5'10-5'11 depending on the heel, and I love it! Especially since I get to date taller guys, the last guy I dated was 6'5 1/2.
