“Secured the bag,” she wrote on TikTok. And make some new Swiftie friends in line.
The most coveted item seems to be the blue neckline — which is exactly what you’d expect, a blue turtleneck with “Taylor Swift Eras Tour” written on the front and the dates of her tour stretched across the back.
The item itself isn’t that special – most items of clothing resemble a crew neck, while others have pictures of it from its various “eras”.
It also comes at a hefty price. T-shirts are $45, jacket is $65, wraps are $75, bracelet is $35, water bottle is $25 and tote bag is $30.
The most coveted element seems to be the blue dome — which has the words “Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour” written on the front and the dates of her tour stretched across the back.
The mirch itself was not that special – most items of clothing are neck-like, while others have images of it from their different “eras”
So what is causing all the fuss? Well, the tour itself has become one of the most sought after concerts around the world, so it’s understandable that anyone who attends wants merchandise.
Another thing to note is that many of the items quickly sold out, creating panic among her biggest fans
So what is causing all the fuss? Well, the tour itself has become one of the most sought-after concerts around the world — the Swifties famously went to war with Ticketmaster after they struggled to get tickets last year — so it’s understandable that anyone attending would want a piece of clothing for a representative that showed they were in attendance.
Another thing to note is that many of the items quickly sold out, creating panic among her biggest fans.
I got in line at 8:30 in the morning. I was sold out of the blue crew neck before I even got to the front,” a fan shared on Twitter earlier this month.
“Pro tip from the Eras Tour: Get your items ASAP because they’re sold out,” another person warned on TikTok, along with a clip that showed multiple items of clothing with “sold out” signs taped to them.
