Taylor Swift may have looked like a glamazon on the CMT Awards red carpet in her coordinating high heels and Balenciaga dress but when she appeared on stage, she was barefoot! We had to ask Taylor backstage what happened, and the young singer told us the whole scoop. “I had these gorgeous hot pink heels on, and they were awesome. But they really hurt so bad and I was limping up the stairs.” Luckily, another glamorous star was passing by just in the nick of time: Faith Hill! Taylor explains, “I walked by Faith Hill and I was like, ‘This hurts so bad.’ And she was like, ‘Take them off.’ And so at that point I just took off my shoes and did not put them back on. And actually accepted an award barefoot and presented an award barefoot, but Faith Hill told me to. So I did it.” We can’t think of a better reason for not suffering for fashion!

Seems like Pete Wentz has something other than his engagement to Ashlee Simpson to celebrate. The Fall Out Boy has signed an exclusive deal with Nordstrom to launch a junior sportswear line that will include graphic T-shirts, hoodies, denim jeans and accessories from his Clandestine Industries label. Pete tells E! news to expect “interesting cuts and designs that are a little bit out of the box.” Though Wentz has always thought music and design should go together, the rocker got his start by accident making clothes in his parents’ basement! The bassist is known for his super skinny jeans — he actually prefers DKNY women’s jeans! — so it’s no surprise that Pete’s newest line is completely unisex! The singer, who admits to sharing clothes with Ashlee, says unisex clothing is “liberating,” not to mention “it cuts down on your budget wearing your girlfriend’s clothes.” Ashlee even road tested and reviewed some of Pete’s latest designs. His line is being carried in 600 Nordstrom locations — click here to check it out! Tell us: Will you buy Pete’s new line?
