Levi's Stadium Reverses Policy After Taylor Swift Fans Complain

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has been a huge success, with sold-out concerts at some of the largest NFL stadiums in the country.

Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, previously had a policy banning attendees from wearing bracelets in the stadium.

[{"selector":"#anim-47ffeacf-0772-4a05-83cf-35f1934bc84a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8977c7a-615d-4d1f-a957-f2555da6d4c9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08cfe8f3-3281-4519-a853-cdad9e88371b","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3715556a-16e0-421c-b263-1b8c73284862","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This was a problem for Swift's fans, who have a tradition of exchanging friendship bracelets at her concerts.

[{"selector":"#anim-c4922a05-da6b-4a53-baf7-9fc9aa4ede27","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2359a72-f663-46d7-8e4b-a3b76f54d052","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da03457c-b77a-441f-b287-5d80a26f3986","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a38fed7b-bc9c-44e9-bb7f-327b1b34eedf","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

After Swift's fans began to complain about the policy, Levi's Stadium reversed its decision and announced that friendship bracelets would be allowed at Taylor Swift's concert.

[{"selector":"#anim-0c2baad7-0805-4122-8be9-39c05e0c577e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f6a7b409-4204-4587-9c9f-9e50deb99586","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e05b557-931e-45f8-afcd-5fd536a20001","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34c72094-e47a-43e4-9b6e-26a479a1c779","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This is a victory for Swift's fans, and it shows the power of her influence.

[{"selector":"#anim-e6bbd35b-649a-4d52-803b-3707c6805388","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30cb6829-6c47-4e1d-a9be-e78160607e99","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b355128c-6314-4606-b445-51c915eb527b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a8936d6-f9d3-4ee6-be5f-4d106f64c017","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b774877-47e5-4b4b-8a80-77bb478e2381 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-23.663869098143913%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

It also shows that stadiums are starting to take the needs of fans more seriously.

The friendship bracelet tradition among Taylor Swift fans began in 2011, when Swift gave out friendship bracelets to fans at her concerts.

The bracelets quickly became a symbol of the Swiftie community, and fans began to exchange them at concerts as a way to show their love for Swift and for each other.

Levi's Stadium's policy banning bracelets was reportedly put in place to prevent fans from using them to smuggle in prohibited items.

[{"selector":"#anim-4cf0000c-8b6f-4ba2-bdab-4d9e50eee53e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-419d4fc7-1741-45ba-9fa6-195b4749b7ce","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1f6b6980-ca2d-4fb8-8565-d160d96043bf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dfd2a953-1d04-43e5-89b1-3b947dcc75a3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96024433-07e8-4694-82c4-fb0c87471099 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-41.8585526482478%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

However, the stadium's decision to reverse the policy shows that it is willing to listen to fan feedback and make changes that will improve the fan experience.
