How tall is Alicia Keys? Alicia Keys is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, according to her official IMDB bio, and while that height measurement doesn’t maker her tremendously tall, there are few singers more gigantic on the R&B scene. Keys, born on January 25, 1981, in New York City, has sold more than 75 million records, and all five of her studio albums have been major smashes. She also topped the charts with “Unplugged,” a 2005 collection she recorded for the MTV show of the same name. In landing the No. 1 slot, she became the first artist since Nirvana rule the Billboard tally with a concert recorded for the hit program.

Alicia Keys’ height of 5 feet, 6 inches means she’s shorter than Beyonce and Rihanna, who check in at 5 feet, 7 inches, and 5 feet, 8 inches, respectively, but in terms of talent and prestige, Keys stands just as tall, if not taller. Keys made her debut with 2001’s “Songs in A Minor,” a global smash that spawned the hit singles “Fallin'” and “You Don’t Know My Name” and earned her five Grammy Awards the following year. She returned two years later with “The Diary of Alicia Keys,” yet another No. 1 album that brought the singles “You Don’t Know My Name” and “If I Ain’t Got You.” “As I Am,” “The Element of Freedom,” and “Girl on Fire” — released after the birth of son Egypt, her first child with husband Swizz Beatz — kept the winning streak going, as did her cameo on Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind.”

How tall is Alicia Keys compared to some of the other leading ladies of R&B? At 5 feet, 6 inches, she’s shorter than Kelly Rowland (5 feet, 8 inches), Keri Hilson (5 feet, 9 inches), and Ciara (5 feet, 10 inches), but she’s probably not sweating it. Keys is an exceptional songwriter with killer range, and overshadowing this diva is a tall order, indeed.
