When B.C. Place stadium announced a ban on loose objects and large bags for Taylor SwiftB次元官网网址檚 upcoming shows in Vancouver, it put some Swifties in a bind B次元官网网址� what to do with the hundreds of friendship bracelets that are traditionally swapped at the superstarB次元官网网址檚 shows?

That has forced fans, including Christina Bates, from Nashville, Tenn., to get creative.

B次元官网网址淚 can comfortably fit 40 on each arm,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚 have done the test run with it, and we can do 40 without circulatory issues.B次元官网网址�

She had made more than 200 bracelets for FridayB次元官网网址檚 show.

SwiftB次元官网网址檚 blockbuster EraB次元官网网址檚 Tour will end on Sunday after her three-night run in Vancouver.

Security is tight for the shows, with B.C. Place installing barricades around the stadium and banning the traditional B次元官网网址淭aylgateB次元官网网址� parties where ticketless fans gather outside arenas to listen for free.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e as excited about exchanging friendship bracelets as you are,B次元官网网址� B.C. Place said in an information bulletin posted last week.

B次元官网网址淗owever, all friendship bracelets must be worn into the stadium or carried in a bag which abides by (the) bag policy. Carabiners (metal or plastic) holding bracelets are strictly prohibited.B次元官网网址�

Fans have been lamenting the regulations online, with one posting to a fan forum that she had B次元官网网址渏ust ordered the cutest heart and star shaped carabiners to sort my bracelets.B次元官网网址�

Others, like Bates, posed solutions. One fan said she planned to use a B次元官网网址渃at collar as a garterB次元官网网址� to carry hers into the stadium, while others planned to attach them to their outfits or wear cargo pants.

Some decided on a more obvious option: trade them outside the arena.

Bates said her initial goal was to make 100 bracelets, but over the course of the year since she scored tickets to FridayB次元官网网址檚 show, she more than doubled that count.

B次元官网网址淚 would be listening to Taylor or watching a livestream and IB次元官网网址檇 think B次元官网网址業 should have made that lyricB次元官网网址� so I just kind of kept making them,B次元官网网址� she said.

B次元官网网址淲e are officially closed now because we are out of letters.B次元官网网址�

B.C. Place did not immediately respond when asked why it was banning bracelets on carabiners.

The policy restricts attendees to a small purse or a clear bag no bigger than 12 inches square.

The fan-led practice of trading bracelets is a response to a lyric in SwiftB次元官网网址檚 song B次元官网网址淵ouB次元官网网址檙e On Your Own, KidB次元官网网址�: B次元官网网址淪o make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.B次元官网网址�

Swifties ran with the idea.

Edmonton resident Mikayla Crook has been to four previous Taylor Swift tours.

B次元官网网址淲ithin the course of the year, IB次元官网网址檝e made probably close to 800 bracelets,B次元官网网址� she said.

She said she probably spent up to $300 on supplies and has held bracelet-making parties for the friends who will attend FridayB次元官网网址檚 concert with her. She hopes to trade 300 of them at the show.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e learned that they can be attached to your body, so I bought safety pins,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檒l attach it to my bodysuit, because then that way itB次元官网网址檚 part of my outfit.B次元官网网址�
