When BC Place stadium announced a ban on loose objects and large bags for Taylor Swift's upcoming shows in Vancouver, it put some Swifties in a bind — what to do with the hundreds of friendship bracelets that are traditionally swapped at the superstar's shows?
When BC Place stadium announced a ban on loose objects and large bags for Taylor Swift's upcoming shows in Vancouver, it put some Swifties in a bind — what to do with the hundreds of friendship bracelets that are traditionally swapped at the superstar's shows?
That has forced fans, including Christina Bates, from Nashville, Tenn., to get creative.
"I can comfortably fit 40 on each arm," she said. "I have done the test run with it, and we can do 40 without circulatory issues."
She had made more than 200 bracelets for Friday's show.
Swift's blockbuster Era's Tour will end on Sunday after her three-night run in Vancouver.
Security is tight for the shows, with BC Place installing barricades around the stadium and banning the traditional "Taylgate" parties where ticketless fans gather outside arenas to listen for free.
"We’re as excited about exchanging friendship bracelets as you are," BC Place said in an information bulletin posted last week.
