The concert of Taylor Swift requires days of preparation and hours of study. It is enough to delve even just a little into the magical world of Swifties (i.e. the fans of the queen of the stage) to realize it (and admit to themselves that they literally underestimated everything, sorry!).
The wait for the concert – never was a term more reductive to define a phenomenon that shakes up the economies of countries and creates earthquakes – it is the concert itself if you consider that die-hard fans spend weeks, days, hours exchanging advice and creating videos for – among many other things – create the perfect look to show off at your favourite actress’ performances that, after 13 years (the 13 (it’s a lucky number for Swift), returns to Italy, to be precise to Milan, July 13th (still the number 13!) and 14th.

Even if the Swifties have doubts about the look, we dare not think about who, as parents or those for them, in the various dates of The Eras Tour must be present in a purely companion capacity, dragged by their children or grandchildren at three and a half hours of show – where, songs aside, there is also much more to do.
There are fan actions to be respected, such as, for example, being ready to wave certain signs at specific moments during the performance, easter eggs to find, namely cryptic messages hidden among Swift’s outfits that foretell future surprises (who will find more?), friendship bracelets to make and exchange during the evening. All topped off with a fashion twist that is part of the show itself. More than “they’re just songs”.

Shine as bright as you can

Say it clearly
And you’ve already earned points. Sometimes all it takes is a t-shirt (matched with sequins, of course) with a simple, clear, and to-the-point message of appreciation. To the mysterious and cryptic easter eggs Taylor is the only one who takes care of it.
Friendship Bracelet: Have You Made Yours?
You still have a few hours to try your hand at making the famous friendship bracelet, with writings and names to recreate as you like with beads. Once you arrive at the concert you will exchange yours with those of the other participants, so as to take home a memory of the evening. This is a real custom at Swift’s concerts, born from the song You’re on your own, kid in which Taylor Swift sings: «So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it». It seems that the love with the current boyfriend Travis Kelce was born thanks to this bracelet. He, at the time, created one with his phone number. Did it really reach the interested party?

A pinch of countrycore
We know it’s summer and the high temperatures discourage any attempt at an outfit, but the Swift eras are also tinged with an inevitable country style.

13 is the perfect number
Sequins, glitter, camperos are they really too much? Dribble on the magic number of the evening, the 13famously Taylor Swift’s lucky charm and that’s it.
Sunglasses yes, but heart-shaped
Along with the entrance ticket, it is the must-have accessory of the concert, and if you look closely, it can be customized. Talk about having heart eyes (wings).

Customized from head to toe
Country accessories, musical instruments, sequins, 13: we’ve learned the key symbols and numbers of the Swifties aesthetic. Now all we have to do is gather them all on a sheet of paper, sorrya white t-shirt or shirt and create your own personal outfit.
