When B.C. Place stadium announced a ban on loose objects and large bags for Taylor Swift香蕉视频直播檚 upcoming shows in Vancouver, it put some Swifties in a bind 香蕉视频直播 what to do with the hundreds of friendship bracelets that are traditionally swapped at the superstar香蕉视频直播檚 shows?

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

香蕉视频直播淚 can comfortably fit 40 on each arm,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淚 have done the test run with it, and we can do 40 without circulatory issues.香蕉视频直播

She had made more than 200 bracelets for Friday香蕉视频直播檚 show.

Swift香蕉视频直播檚 blockbuster Era香蕉视频直播檚 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 香蕉视频直播淭aylgate香蕉视频直播 parties where ticketless fans gather outside arenas to listen for free.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e as excited about exchanging friendship bracelets as you are,香蕉视频直播 B.C. Place said in an information bulletin posted last week.

香蕉视频直播淗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.香蕉视频直播

Fans have been lamenting the regulations online, with one posting to a fan forum that she had 香蕉视频直播渏ust ordered the cutest heart and star shaped carabiners to sort my bracelets.香蕉视频直播

Others, like Bates, posed solutions. One fan said she planned to use a 香蕉视频直播渃at collar as a garter香蕉视频直播 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 Friday香蕉视频直播檚 show, she more than doubled that count.

香蕉视频直播淚 would be listening to Taylor or watching a livestream and I香蕉视频直播檇 think 香蕉视频直播業 should have made that lyric香蕉视频直播 so I just kind of kept making them,香蕉视频直播 she said.

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 Swift香蕉视频直播檚 song 香蕉视频直播淵ou香蕉视频直播檙e On Your Own, Kid香蕉视频直播: 香蕉视频直播淪o make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.香蕉视频直播

Swifties ran with the idea.

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

香蕉视频直播淲ithin the course of the year, I香蕉视频直播檝e made probably close to 800 bracelets,香蕉视频直播 she said.

She said she probably spent up to $300 on supplies and has held bracelet-making parties for the friends who will attend Friday香蕉视频直播檚 concert with her. She hopes to trade 300 of them at the show.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e learned that they can be attached to your body, so I bought safety pins,香蕉视频直播 she said. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檒l attach it to my bodysuit, because then that way it香蕉视频直播檚 part of my outfit.香蕉视频直播
