What are Taylor Swift bracelets? These message bracelets were inspired by Taylor Swift. In one of her songs, the American singer refers to friendship bracelets. The "Swifties" (as her fans call themselves) have taken the lyrics of this song and createdfriendshipbracelets with the name of an album or the title of their favourite song. Swifties are traditionally exchanged during the singer's concerts. For fans, it's a way of honoring their idol.

But you don't have to be an absolute fan of Taylor Swift to be on trend. You can simply write a first name, a love note, the title of your favourite song, an inspirational word... And why not all at once and pile them up on your wrists. Thanks to the elastic thread, they're very easy to slip onto your wrist.
