Die-hard Swifties will know the meaning behind these important items, but for those who are newer to the fandom, Swift’s fans began making them because of a line from one of her songs. 

In the song ‘You’re On Your Own Kid,’ (found on Midnights) Swift sings ‘make the friendship bracelets,’—so her fans did! 

The bracelets usually reference something from one of Swift’s eras, such as song name or an iconic moment (think ‘F**K Jake Gyllenhaal’ or ‘22 Hat’).

But really, anything to do with Swift goes from her cat’s names (Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson or Benjamin Button) to her ex-boyfriends will work. 

At the concert, Swifties will swap them with each other, holding onto the bracelets that reference the era they most identify with. 

The most important thing to note is that while you can bring them into the Australian concerts, you have to wear them. This means you can’t bring them in on a carabiner or D-ring.

Which Beads Are The Best To Make Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelets? 

The best beads to get are seed beads from Amazon. They have great letter packs there as well. 

Make sure to get lots of vowels as they’re often the first to go.

Stringwise, head to Spotlight for stretchy string (ideally the clear kind) to thread the beads.
