Swiftie Bracelets
Let’s face it. You’re going to the movie. You either weren’t able (like me) to spring for the tickets to the tour and so you missed it live, or you DID see it and you can’t wait to relive the fun. Either way, you’re probably going to need a few friendship bracelets. I took my daughters to the Eras Tour movie for our Witches Night Out and we had such a blast and made some fun memories.
