New Orleans has pulled out all the stops to welcome Taylor Swift with a massive friendship bracelet displayed proudly on the Caesars Superdome. The oversized tribute, shown on the New Orleans Saints’ Instagram, features Swift’s name crafted in large white “beads” and dotted with vibrant “gems,” embodying the playful spirit of the Eras Tour’s signature bracelet-swapping tradition.
Swift, currently in the final stretch of her acclaimed Eras Tour, is set to light up the Superdome for a weekend of performances. This Louisiana stop is among her last U.S. appearances before heading to
Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver. As fans eagerly await, the Saints’ grand gesture of friendship is already adding a touch of the iconic “Swiftie” spirit to the city.

The Superdome’s exterior now features the bracelet, which is displayed above the entrance doors, creating a striking welcome for Swift and her fans. Alongside the stadium’s new look, the Saints’
Instagram post also shared glimpses of its famous bronze statue commemorating Steve Gleason’s game-changing punt block, a cherished symbol of New Orleans’ resilience post-Hurricane Katrina.
Swift’s fans, lovingly dubbed “Swifties,” have embraced the bracelet tradition inspired by her song “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” and its lyric, “Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.”
