A lot happened to Taylor Swift in 2014, and her midriff was there to enjoy it all. But so were her short shorts because T. Swift is the queen of high-waisted shorts.
Here is the definitive ranking of said shorts. We also imagined what your mom, who always seems to have SOMETHING to say about your outfit, would say.
