Savannah laughed before explaining: "I didn't mean to. I know, I know. Well, they are my top heels."

Although Sheinelle might not be the biggest fan of Savannah's high heels, Jenna Bush Hager certainly is.

In fact, Jenna likes borrowing some of her favorite pairs from Savannah's closet.

Savannah previously loaned her a pair, however, Jenna accidentally had a bit of a mishap with them.

Jenna previously showed the broken heels on Instagram, confessing: "So I'm just working out with a friend and I just wanted to tell her I have bad news about the shoes she let me borrow."

She captioned the video: "@savannahguthrie [OOPS] I did it again. Sorry!!!" 

Savannah joked in the comments, expressing: "Again? What happened to these? Did you go jogging in these?"

Jenna replied: "Oops! I'm going to get them fixed. I promise."

Savannah, who has to be up by the crack of dawn for the hit TV show, actually wakes up between 3-4 am in order to get a workout in, to start her day off strong.

She revealed to People: "How you start your day really matters. I mean, I read somewhere it was like, make your first choice of the day a really good choice. So I try to drink a glass of water. Start with the prayer. I actually, you're going to be shocked by this. Are you ready? I've started setting my alarm even earlier to do just a little bit of exercise."

Savannah added: "The idea is whereas all my life I was looking to exercise with a mission, to want to look a certain way, it's not about that. It's just move a little every day. Sweat [a] little every day. It's really good for your mental health."
