Oct 31, 2024
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The city of New Orleans has a new best friend.
In the days following Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, the giant friendship bracelets that hung across the Caesars Superdome were traded with the Swifties in Indianapolis.
ASM Global officials say the bracelets will now hang on the north side of the Lucas Oil Stadium as Swift does another three-night performance.

“Those of us in the tourism industry talk to each other all the time and share information that allows us to do our jobs better,” said CIB Executive Director Andy Mallon. “The sharing of a friendship bracelet, however, takes things to a whole new level.”
“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," said Neuburger.

When inflated, officials say the bracelets stand 7' tall and are 140' and were designed by Shawn Kolodny.
