A little historical fact about Tay: she is a Reading Pennsylvania native, and she was born in Berks County. A hospital in Reading has decided to hand our Era’s Tour-inspired friendship bracelets to families with babies who were born on Swift’s birthday—Dec. 13.

What a great idea! These will be special treasures for sure!” one commenter shared. “A whole new generation of swifties!!!” another said. But why friendship bracelets? If you’re not a full-fledged Swiftie like me, you may not understand the significance of these friendship bracelets. They’re inspired by the song, “You’re on Your Own Kid,” from Swift’s latest album, Midnights. The lyric says, “So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.” And Swifties everywhere took this suggestion to heart. According to the Reading Eagle website, friendship bracelets were given to mothers, families and friends of 11 babies born at the hospital, which means about 60 bracelets total were handed out in honor of Swift’s 34th birthday.
