Taylor Swift appears on BBC Breakfast in 2009
Taylor Swift has started countless trends during her time in the top ten, and her latest fad seems to be her most popular yet.
Her fans – who are affectionately referred to as Swifties – have been making and trading unique friendship bracelets at the Antihero star’s gigs around the world.
This phenomenon reportedly came from a lyric in her track You’re on Your Own, Kid, which was included in her 2022 album Midnights. In the song, Taylor croons: “So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.”
Since then, fans have been making their own Taylor Swift-themed friendship bracelets en masse and trading them with perfect strangers at the star’s live shows to build up massive collections.
With the UK’s Eras Tour shows just around the corner, British Swifties may want to know where to get their own bracelets. Thankfully, we have everything you need to know about where to get yours.

Buy Taylor Swift tickets to The Eras Tour in the UK
Taylor Swift will finally be arriving in the UK this summer to play shows on her Eras Tour later this year.
Tickets were originally, officially released by Ticketmaster and AXS last year – however, they quickly sold out.
Since then, official resale tickets have been sought after from fans who missed out on Eras Tour tickets during their first release.
However, many fans also have a lot of success purchasing unofficial resale tickets for Taylor Swift’s tour.
These tickets are available at such resale sites as viagogo and Vivid Seats, being sold by fans who can no longer attend the shows they signed up for.
These ticket resales are unofficial, however, and AXS has stated any tickets found purchased through the “secondary market will not be valid for entry into the concerts”.
With that said, you can find all the links below to buy Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets for the UK.
