Scoring a ticket to one of the many concerts during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has proven to be a near-impossible feat. Unless you're famous, that is.
During Swift's nationwide tour this summer, stars flooded the stadiums every single night to see the pop star sing all of her greatest hits. More importantly, they were there to swap friendship bracelets with each other and with fans.
Passing out handmade beaded bracelets at shows has become Swifties' new favorite pastime. Inspired by the Midnights song, “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” specifically the lyric, “Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it,” fans have been making the accessory en masse and decorating them with inside jokes and references to their favorite Swift lyrics.
Swift's celebrity fans have also gotten in on the action, DIYing their own bracelets for the shows and walking away with a forearm filled to the brim with bracelets. Ahead, see some of the biggest celebrity bracelet collectors.
