Thanks to Swifties, trading friendship bracelets have become a memorable part of the Eras Tour. If you plan on making bracelets and need inspiration, we’ve got you covered. Read on for the bestTaylor Swift friendship bracelet ideasfor every era, including quotes, music lyrics, inside jokes, and more!
Remember when you were at a sleepover or summer camp, and you and your friends made colorful beaded bracelets and traded them with each other? We certainly do, and that sense of nostalgia is exactly what makes crafting friendship bracelets for the Eras Tour so special. Trading a meaningful item that connects you with another Swiftie who has shared the same experience (like seeing your idol live in a once-in-a-lifetime concert) is what it’s all about.
The idea to make friendship bracelets for Swift’s tour emerged sometime after the pop star released her tenth studio album,Midnights,in October 2022. One of the album’s tracks, “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” features the lyrics:
’Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take
So make the friendship bracelets
Take the moment and taste it
You’ve got no reason to be afraid
After the album’s release, some fans suggested on social media to create and swap friendship bracelets at the pop star’s upcoming tour. Once the tour officially began and more concertgoers participated in the trend, creating friendship bracelets for The Eras Tour turned into a worldwide phenomenon. Swifties have shared tutorials about making friendships on social media, started selling friendship bracelets on Etsy, and posted videos of wearing and trading their bracelets at the Eras Tour.
After all, Swift’s football beau, Travis Kelce, revealed on his podcast “New Heights” that he tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his phone number before one of her concerts at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he admitted at the time. So you could say that a friendship bracelet kicked off their “love story.”
Everyone from Swift and Kelce to the celebrity Eras Tour guests to the pop star’s bodyguard has sported friendship bracelets from fans. Who knows, yours may even get onto the arm of Blondie herself.
