New Orleans welcomed Taylor Swift with one giant friendship bracelet.
On Thursday, Oct. 24, the New Orleans Saints’ official Instagram account posted a series of photos of the Caesars Superdome ahead of the singer’s upcoming weekend in the city.
Swift is performing the final leg of her Eras Tour and is currently in her penultimate US city. The 14-time Grammy winner will perform in the Louisiana city on Friday, October 25, Saturday, October 26 and Sunday, October 27. The last stops of the tour are Indianapolis, Toronto and Vancouver.
The Saints’ announcement Thursday included photos of the stadium’s exterior and its new decoration: oversized “friendship bracelets.” The bracelet spelled out the singer’s name in white “beads” and also included several colorful “gems” on the string.
The four photos also show a bronze statue at the stadium of former New Orleans Saints guard Steve Gleason and former Atlanta Falcons player Michael Koenen. The statue shows Gleason’s block of Koenen’s kick during the Saints’ first home game after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The post also included a video of the decorations and a closer look at the bracelet hanging over the stadium’s entrance gate.
“Welcome to Taylor 🫶,” reads the caption.

The Saints’ cheeky welcome to Swift is in line with Swifties’ favorite pastime of exchanging handmade beaded bracelets during the singer’s Eras tour. The gesture is inspired Midnight the song “You’re alone, little one” and the lyrics “Make friendship bracelets, seize the moment and savor it.”
Since she hit the road in March 2023, several celebrities have joined the Swiftie party and swapped bracelets with fellow fans. And on June 21, Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was seen wearing his own friendship bracelets at the Cannes Lions festival in France.
On the same day, Travis’ brother, Jason, was seen with wife Kylie Kelce at their first Eras fashion show in London. In the sweet moment captured on video by a fan at the concert, Jason, 36, was seen approaching Kylie, 32, and excitedly showing off his new Swiftie styling.
