A Canadian Taylor Swift fan has some 'Bad Blood' with the Calgary International Airport after security staff confiscated hundreds of dollars worth of beads she was going to use to make friendship bracelets.
The bracelets are crafted, worn and traded by 'Swifties' at concerts across the globe, inspired by a lyric on her album Midnights.
("So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.")
Caitlynne Medrek says she was flying from Vancouver to Toronto this week for one of the city's three The Eras Tour concerts when she encountered trouble on her layover in Calgary.
Medrek said though her carry-on bag cleared security in Vancouver with no problems, she ran into a roadblock during her screening in Calgary.
"Security told me I couldn't bring my beads on the plane with me," Medrek told CTV News. "Which I couldn't believe, because it wasn't a problem with security in Vancouver."
Medrek claims staff at the terminal told her she had exceeded the allowable bead limit and wouldn't be allowed to bring the crafting supplies on the plane with her.
