Trading friendship bracelets is not just for Swifties, but for stadiums, too!

Taylor Swift is coming to Indianapolis for three shows this weekend, and the giant friendship bracelet that welcomed fans at her New Orleans shows is coming along with her.

The New Orleans Caesars Superdome sent the friendship bracelets to Lucas Oil Stadium, who quickly put them up on Thursday afternoon.

According to reporting from sister station WDSU, after Swifties asked Caesars Superdome if it would be sharing its supersized friendship bracelets with other tour host venues, the idea took hold and Caesars Superdome General Manager Evan Holmes contacted Lucas Oil Stadium Director Eric Neuburger to offer the formalization of their friendship through the sharing of its bracelets.

It was an easy yes, according to Neuburger in an issued statement.

“Indy has a longstanding tradition of cooperative relationships and they don’t stop at the downtown mile square outline, or the city limits, or a state line,” said Neuburger. “We like to believe that hospitality has no limits and friendships can exist everywhere. We saw the bracelets on the Superdome early on and thought it was such a cool idea, so we happily accepted the offer to bring them to Indy and are grateful to New Orleans for its generosity.”

The giant bracelets, designed by artist Shawn Kolodny, are made up of inflatable “beads” that are each seven feet tall, and strands are 140 feet long.
