    Fresh from a brief trip to Greece for the wedding of one of Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammates, Taylor Swift joined her fiancé for date night in New York City. Along with a little black dress, Swift embraced a hybrid ballet shoe trend.

    Leaving Italian restaurant Sartiano's in Manhattan on May 22, Swift accessorized her LBD with a pair of Dior Muse Pumps in Black Crocodile Printed Calfskin. The sold-out style—which originally retailed for $1,150—proved to be very popular.

    The delicate heels include a subtle tied bow, making them part-Mary Jane and part-hybrid ballet shoe, tying perfectly into a celeb-approved trend.
