Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: What You Don’t Know
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is one of our favorite events year-round, and this year’s show is already setting itself up to be one for the history books. Besides musical performances by Taylor Swift (we’re hoping for a mashup of “Red” and “I Knew You Were Trouble,” hopefully not coinciding with Adam Levine’s fiancé Behati Prinsloo walking down the runway) and Fall Out Boy (a choice we’re still scratching our heads about), this year’s glittery catwalk will be graced with 40 models — the most ever! — and, yes, this includes the stunning Cara Delevingne.
We went backstage before the show to chat with the Victoria’s Secret Angels, and we just had to share what we learned. Is it insane to think that the 5’10” supermodels walking in six inch heels will tower over us at about 6’4″? Yes. But that’s not all we found out. Read on for more!
