Country star TAYLOR SWIFT has teamed up with bosses at her favorite shoe brand to release a limited-edition sneaker named after the title of her upcoming album RED.

The Love Story hitmaker has been pictured wearing Keds designs for years, and now she has signed a three-year spokesmodel deal with the fashion house, which will begin with the release of her new shoe line.

She tells Women's Wear Daily, "I've been a fan of Keds for years, because they have two of my favorite elements of great style - they're classic and effortless. I remember wearing Keds as a little kid, while riding my bike around the farm. When I got older, I started wearing them again. There's something cool about shoes that you can grow up with.

"I think they add something casual and cool to your look, and the new colors and patterns are so eclectic. I love pairing them with vintage looks."

The Grammy winner's specially-designed red shoe will be available in stores from 22 October (12) - the same day as the release of her new record.
