Welcome to New Orleans!<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Caesars Superdome was fitted with a 140-foot-long friendship bracelet in honor of Taylor Swift\u2019s sold-out Eras Tour stop in Louisiana, which kicks off on Friday.<\/p>\n

Workers were spotted using forklifts to hang the inflatable banners, which were made to look like a mix of alphabet beads and colorful pony beads.<\/p>\n

The double-stranded bracelets \u2014 hung on the stadium\u2019s facade \u2014 spelled out \u201cTaylor Swift The Eras Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massive, inflatable friendship bracelets were hung outside the Caesars Superdome ahead of her Eras Tour stop in Louisiana.
\nThe massive bracelets paid tribute to the Swiftie tradition of passing around homemade, beaded friendship bracelets \u2014 which stemmed from a lyric in Swift\u2019s song,\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019re On Your Own Kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abby Jones, a sales and marketing director, concocted the idea just one month before Swift, 34, arrived in the Big Easy.<\/p>\n

After getting approval from the pop star\u2019s team, Jones got in touch with\u00a0Miami-based artist Shawn Kolodny, who is known for his large-scale inflatable designs.<\/p>\n

Each \u201cbead\u201d is made of nylon and is about seven feet tall,\u00a0according to Nola.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a giant friendship bracelet bouncy house,\u201d Kolodny told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the banners were hung, the New Orleans Saints \u2014\u00a0who play in the Superdome \u2014 shared videos of the installment\u00a0on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cA welcome for Taylor\u00a0\"\ud83e\udef6\",\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s record-breaking tour began in March 2023, a few months after the release of her album \u201cMidnights.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the record\u2019s fifth track \u2014 which is typically the singer\u2019s most personal song \u2014 she sings, \u201cEverything you lose is a step you take \/ So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her fans took the lyrics literally and started making \u2014\u00a0and trading\u00a0\u2014 friendship bracelets spelling out their favorite songs, albums and lyrics, causing as much\u00a0as a 500% increase in sales\u00a0at craft stores.<\/p>\n

The fan project quickly took on a life of its own and became synonymous with the \u201cFortnight\u201d singer\u2019s tour.<\/p>\n

Swift herself even leaned into the fun, often\u00a0wearing elevated versions\u00a0of her fans\u2019 homemade bracelets.<\/p>\n

In fact, for the holidays last year, her boyfriend Travis Kelce\u00a0<\/a>gifted the Grammy winner a gold friendship bracelet\u00a0that spelled out \u201cTNT\u201d \u2014\u00a0a play on their initials.<\/p>\n

The sparkling momento featured more than 4 carats of diamonds and retailed for\u00a0over $6,000.<\/p>\n

Kelce also purchased his own matching version of the bracelet, which the jeweler acknowledged felt like a \u201cfull circle\u201d moment given that the NFL star\u00a0famously tried to woo Swift with a friendship bracelet\u00a0before they began dating.<\/p>\n

In July 2023, Kelce admitted he attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it before one of her shows in Kansas City.<\/p>\n

Although he never got the chance to give her the bracelet, she later found out about his plans and\u00a0decided to give him another chance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
