god bless the drag queens this is the
only way that i have high heels that fit
me right because i'm a women's size 16
men's size 15. so i would not have these
opportunities for cute shoes if it
wasn't for the drag queens right
hi i'm savannah trapp i'm the eldest
sibling in the world's tallest family
and i'm going to introduce you to my
family the world's tallest family
tallest family member of world's tallest
family and the favorite son adam trapp
definitely got a pretty significant
boost in height between like my seventh
and eighth grade summer i think i grew
from like six one to like seven foot
like around that time the shortest
sibling in the world's tallest family
molly speed people are always
immediately shocked when they see me and
my height and look at me and they gasp
or
you're so tall and i always just joke
and say i am i didn't even know
mama trap
i don't really feel that tall because
i'm not the tallest in the family i'm
actually the shortest next bat is the
world's best dad
got trapped so the best thing about
being tall is you can always reach the
uh top shelf at the grocery store
[Music]
the worst thing about being tall is
probably all of the injuries like i
cannot tell you how many times i've hit
my head on things
like doorways ceiling fans hanging
lights
i've had so many injuries i've had
stitches in my forehead i uh also going
downstairs is hard because you're tall
we have large feet right and so stairs
are made for tiny feet right and so i'm
going downstairs and i have to actually
go downstairs sideways and half the time
i'm tripping over my feet and
it's yeah the injuries are my least
favorite part about being tall
[Music]
you know everybody's got that
stereotypical they go come up to me and
like how's the weather up there and i
don't actually mind it ever like i
really don't people say all kinds of
things and i usually tune it out most
often than not
[Music]
i had a lot of issues with just growing
pains and everything like that for
issues for my knees
it was really difficult for like my
muscular structure to keep up with my
skeletal structure and that was what the
doctor said to me quite often because my
bones were going so long that it just
kept stretching out my muscles if i got
hit in like an awkward way or something
my muscles just weren't really able to
hold everything in place that they
needed to and that you know kind of led
me to be more predisposed to getting
injuries
[Music]
my sister and i really can relate to
the struggles in finding cute clothes
for tall girls the worst thing about
being tall is probably trying to find
clothes and clothes pants are tough
pants are so hard to find because i
always joke that i'm 97 leg i have a lot
of legs so it's definitely hard to find
jeans or different pants that are long
enough yes even though i'm six eight and
a half
i still wear heels and i can even uh
throw it back in six inch heels like i
can drop it to the ground i can dance i
can do anything in six inch heels
i teach second grade so i'm always with
little kids who are always looking up to
me and i love making sure that i'm a
good example for them and it's really
fun being tall to be able to do that
i would absolutely say that our height
has contributed to our achievements and
to uh the way that we were in sports and
what we achieved in sports so my sister
played basketball and my brother played
basketball i played basketball in high
school but i was more of a volleyball
player i always joke that god made me
tall because he knew i couldn't jump
my vertical is like this i mean that
definitely helps you know having a
longer wingspan longer reach and
everything you can you can block a lot
of shots get rebounds get uncontested
shots
my height gave me that opportunity to
have the skill at basketball and i got
my full ride scholarship out there and i
played out there for a while
but i was medically retired due to
having too many concussions
and this was one of the hardest
decisions i ever had to make because i
had to put my health and safety first
and i had to set aside my love of the
game and for years and years this was my
dream ever since i was you know a little
little girl
yeah i think it's helped my family be
closer
closer together because i think
everybody sees what it is like to be
tall or how you get treated by the other
people for being tall or not that it's a
bad thing but you do draw a lot of
attention
it was surprising when my kids started
growing taller than me
i never thought especially the girls i
mean savannah's taller than me when they
started getting that tall it was like oh
what's going on
[Music]
so was i looking for a taller guy uh for
my husband yes that was important to me
to meet somebody that was taller than me
he was actually sitting down when i met
him i didn't know he was that tall
i feel our family is a closer unit
because we are
all so tall
being a part of the official world
record holding family it is it's really
an honor it's super cool almost has made
all of our saw people's struggles um
worthwhile at this point
we're all so much more than tall people
you know we have so many great assets
that make us who we are and that's what
i want people to see i'm more than just
a tall person so that's that's been
something i try to teach my students
[Music]
