Jennifer Garner attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Friday, July 7, and came home with two armfuls full of friendship bracelets. In a carousel of photos and videos showing the highlights of her time at the show, she shared a photo of her forearms covered in the good-vibey bracelets.

Friendship bracelets have become a trademark of Swift’s Eras Tour. The tradition was inspired by a lyric to the Swift song “You’re On Your Own, Kid” from the singer’s 2022 album, “Midnights.” In the tune’s bridge, Swift sings, “Everything you lose is a step you take / So make the friendship bracelets / Take the moment and taste it.”


The bracelets often feature ceramic letters with references to Taylor Swift’s songs such as “Antihero,” “All Too Well,” or “Fearless.” Garner clearly made a lot of friends that night. Now, she has some to share at the next Swift show.

TikTok user gabydeimeke documented the friendship bracelet scene during the Eras Tour and set it to “You’re on Your Own, Kid.”

Actress Jennifer Lawrence also received a lot of friendship bracelets when she saw Swift in Philadelphia.

Garner wasn’t only at the show to see Swift. She also caught opening act Gracie Abrams, daughter of her “Alias” creator J.J. Abrams. Garner starred on the show from 2001 to 2006.

“We swooned for you, Gracie!” Garner wrote on Instagram. “And our minds are still blown by the generosity of spirit, ferocity and stamina of Taylor Swift.”
