Nine awards weren’t the only thing Taylor Swift took home at last night’s MTV VMAs.
She also left with a stack of five new friendship bracelets courtesy of Lance Bass, who presented Swift with her very first award of the night alongside the rest of NSYNC.
For those who don’t already know, friendship bracelets became a huge trend among Swifties this year as the Eras Tour kicked off, inspired by a lyric from “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” off her most recent album “Midnights.”
“Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it,” Swift sang, and fans took it to heart, making and trading Taylor Swift friendship bracelets with fun sayings, song titles and lyrics at tour stops all summer long.
So, of course, when Swift walked on stage — after she was seen losing her mind over the long-awaited NSYNC reunion — she was surprised with some new beaded bracelets.
After the show, Little Words Project, a brand that sells bracelets that are “made to be worn, loved and shared—bringing self-love and kindness to each person they touch,” posted Instagram stories revealing that Bass reached out to them to see if they could make bracelets for him “ASAP,” and shared a closer look at the stack along with a reel.
The five colorful bracelets contain references to Swift’s own career and NSYNC’s: “Lover” and “Fearless” are two of Swift’s albums, while “FTGWHE” calls back to the NSYNC song “For The Girl Who Has Everything.”
On Little Words Project’s site, there’s an option to create custom bracelets, and using a few of those designs, you can recreate these bracelets for yourself or your bestie (with a few variations, because some of them don’t have a perfect match counterpart online).
-
Vanilla Cone “Lover” Bracelet
This one doesn’t need a custom listing, since Little Words Project actually sells the exact Lover bracelet from Swift’s stack.
-
Miami Custom Beaded Bracelet
Another exact replica, this one is custom, so you can put any word or saying you want on it.
-
Pink Frosting “In My Era” Bracelet
The most similar bracelet Little Words Project sells to Swift’s “TS” one is this, which conveniently features a phrase Swifties will appreciate.
-
Amethyst Dreams Crystal Custom Beaded Bracelet
The closest bracelet to the “Fearless” one is this Amethyst Dreams crystal bracelet (which just screams “Speak Now” thanks to the purple).
-
Solid Pearl Custom Beaded Bracelet
This timeless, classic pearl bracelet is perfect “for the girl who has everything.”
