What’s the story behind Taylor Swift’s friendship bracelets?
According to Swiftie-lore, the trend originated in Taylor’s own lyrics from “You’re on Your Own, Kid” on the Midnights album.
So make the friendship bracelets
Take the moment and taste it
You’ve got no reason to be afraid
Swifties started making bracelets and swapping them at concerts, adding a whole new layer to the Eras Tour experience. Fans would walk in with bare wrists and walk out with hundreds of friendship bracelets and hoards of new friends. It became such an iconic part of the concerts, celebrities like Selena Gomez, Mindy Kaling, Haley Lu Richardson, Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Lautner, Sofia Richie Grainge, Gigi Hadid, Channing Tatum, and more, starting swapping bracelets with fans.
The friendship bracelets even played a cute role in Taylor Swift’s and Travis Kelce’s love story. Travis attempted to shoot his shot with Taylor by giving her an Eras Tour bracelet with his number on it when he attended one of her gigs. While he didn’t quite pull it off, he must’ve done something right bc look at them now.
Are you ready for it? (‘it’ being our Taylor Swift friendship bracelet ideas LOL)

The unwritten rules for trading your Eras Tour bracelets
There’s no official rules when it comes to trading your Taylor Swift friendship bracelets. You simple make (or buy—there are lots of options on Etsy) friendship bracelets. Wear them to the Eras Tour concert you’re attending, trade ’em with other Swifties or gift the bracelets to people without bracelets. The aim of the game is to collect as many as you can and walk out with your wrists covered in Eras-themed friendship bracelets.
