All the Taylor Swift friendship bracelet inspiration you need before the Eras Tour.

I was naïve to think that the last time I'd make friendship bracelets would be in primary school. 

My past self had no idea that at the ripe old age of 28, I'd be meticulously stringing beads onto a string to spell out ATWTMVTVFTV (All Too Well Ten Minute Version Taylor's Version From The Vault).

Watch: Taylor Swift announces her new album at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Post continues below.

I'm not even GOING to one of Taylor Swift's Australian shows, but this makes me feel like I am, so leave me alone.

In case you don't know, Swifties are currently making Taylor-themed friendship bracelets to exchange with other fans at the Eras Tour. 

It's become somewhat of a tradition, along with finding a slick pair of cowboy boots and deciding what Era you're going to dress up as.

It's a fun little activity, especially if you're going with a bunch of your girlfriends, so if you need some inspiration to help you get started then keep reading, because we've got it all right here.
