Taylor Swift in Brazil: how fans prepare for the singer’s shows in the country

When the singer Taylor Swift announced that she would return to Brazil after 11 years without setting foot on national soil, the blonde’s fans (as she is nicknamed by Brazilians) were ecstatic. And after a long time of waiting, in two weeks, the singer will finally bring the The Eras Tour For the country.

Taylor will perform in Rio de Janeiro on the 17th, 18th and 19th and on the 24th, 25th and 26th of November, in São Paulo. And the singer’s fan clubs came together to surprise her during the show.

Advertising and marketing student Laura Santos, 20, is the owner of one of the fan clubs dedicated to the singer, Taylor Swift Daily. A fan of the singer since 2014, she remembers growing up listening to her music and, in 2020, decided to create a profile focused on the artist.

“I’ve been a fan for 9 years, since 2014. I watched the Hanna Montana movie in which Taylor appears, I took ballet classes and danced to ‘Red’ songs. I clearly remember her on the Xuxa program, but I was still a child and just entering the world of the internet. Until I got a tablet and started watching TVZ a lot. That’s how I recognized Taylor and became a fan”, says the young woman, in an interview with CNN .

Eras Light Brazil Project

With so much time to wait, the singer’s fans came together to do something special to mark her visit to the country. Laura says that a group of fans came together in the Eras Light Brasil project, with the aim of creating a representation of the Brazilian flag using the light from cell phone flashlights.

In addition, other actions are being planned by Taylor Swift Brasil and the Update Swift Brasil group. For example, raising your hands during the song “The Archer” to show unconditional support for the singer. When she asks “who can stay”, fans hope to make it clear that they are always on the artist’s side.

Other initiatives include throwing confetti during the song “Long Live” and, finally, the calls (interactions with Taylor through music). Among these calls, the highlights are the cry of “1,2,3 let’s go b*tch” in “Delicate”, the phrase “you forgive, you forget, but you never let it go” in “Bad Blood” and the chorus of “Taylor, you will be fine” in “Anti-Hero”.

Eras Light Brasil was responsible for creating the idea of ​​using the Brazilian flag, while the others emerged from a form prepared by Update Swift Brasil, in which fans were able to contribute their suggestions.

Friendship bracelets

Furthermore, another special point of Taylor’s show will be the exchange of friendship bracelets between fans. The tradition began because of one of the singer’s songs, “You’re on Your Own, Kid”, in which she quotes the famous “friendship bracelets”.

Fans then started making their own, always very colorful, full of beads, with stars, references from other songs or striking expressions of the blonde. The idea, in addition to celebrating the show, is to keep special memories of the singer’s performance.

Laura says that there are no rules regarding changing bracelets, but reveals what her expectations are for this moment at the shows in Brazil. “I planned to make the bracelets. First, I made bracelets for myself. Then, I did it for friends and people I really care about on Twitter. I made around 70 bracelets for friends and people on Twitter. Afterwards, I prepared to make the bracelets to exchange. I thought 50 was a lot, and 20 was a little. So, I made 30 bracelets to change per day. That is, 90 bracelets.”
