A devoted fan of Taylor Swift, Laura Petty, received tremendous support from fellow Swifties at the Eras Tour show. Petty wore a unique 13-pound dress made entirely of friendship bracelets, despite concerns that the noise of the beads might disturb other concert-goers.
Laura Petty, a 27-year-old mortgage processor from Charlotte, North Carolina, gained widespread recognition on TikTok as millions of users followed her journey to meticulously glue hundreds of friendship bracelets onto a gold fringe dress. Her creation caught the attention of fans and even celebrity friends like Selena Gomez.
Swift’s loyal fanbase, known as Swifties, have embraced the trend of making and exchanging friendship bracelets at each concert. The bracelets pay homage to Swift’s song “You’re on Your Own, Kid” from her album “Midnights.” Lyrics from the song inspire Swifties to create and cherish these special accessories.
Petty took the fan tradition to a whole new level by crafting a dress adorned with hundreds of friendship bracelets. Ultimately, she proudly wore her creation to the final Eras Tour show in Los Angeles, California.

In an interview with Insider, Petty, a fan since Swift’s “Debut” album in 2006, revealed that it took her three months to complete her unique dress. Despite receiving mixed opinions on TikTok, with concerns about the weight and noise of the dress, Petty confidently wore it to the concert.
Petty reassured skeptics that her fellow Swifties fully supported her decision to wear the friendship bracelet dress. She acknowledged feeling nervous after seeing negative comments on her TikTok video, but her best friend provided the support and reassurance she needed to go through with it.
Contrary to expectations, the beads of the dress did not create any noticeable noise during the concert. Additionally, Petty did not experience any discomfort or pain due to the dress’s weight, even during the over three-hour-long performance.
Petty has no plans to sell her custom-made dress and intends to keep it unless given the opportunity to gift it to Taylor Swift herself.
