Taylor Swift's Firefly Entertainment to buy giant friendship bracelet displayed in New Orleans and Indianapolis
Swifties traded numerous friendship bracelets throughout the Eras Tour, but one particular friendship bracelet was traded from New Orleans to Indianapolis: The 140-foot-long inflatable friendship bracelet and it will soon belong with Taylor Swift.
The inflatable art installation designed to look exactly like the friendship bracelets fans wore to the concerts was created for Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans and was sent to display outside Lucas Oil ahead of her three shows in Indianapolis.
Swift now plans to purchase the art installation, according to a meeting agenda for the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District Board, state managers of the Caesars Superdome. Here's what to know.
The Caesar's Superdome announced on June 25 that Taylor Swift's personal services company, Firefly Entertainment, will purchase the 140-foot inflatable friendship.
The idea for the massive friendship bracelet is credited to the director of sales and marketing for the local office that manages the Superdome, Abby Jones. The art installation was then brought to life by Miami-based artist Kolodny.

According to NOLA and other local news sources in New Orleans, Swift's company will purchase the art installation for $13K, which is a nod to Swift's lucky number, 13.

Yes; but if you don't remember seeing them, there is a reason for that.
They were put up on October 31, the day before her first show, but had to be taken down due to wind. Only fans who were exploring the city the day before the first show would have seen the friendship bracelet.
The wind has been less than cooperative with our friendship bracelets, but we know that friendships like this never end. Thank you NOLA and the @CaesarsDome! Enjoy yesterday's view 💜 pic.twitter.com/WC5xwpRT49

By design, online games get kids hooked on hyperstimulation: a "continuous stream of music, annoying voices that say 'good job,' and here's a reward and a sparkling unicorn on top," says Esther Huybreghts, co-founder and chief creative officer of Pok Pok. The Toronto-based startup's app, which the company describes as 'non-addictive' and inspired by Montessori, is quieter, providing children aged 2 to 8 with an unstructured, ungamified digital 'playroom,' where kids can freely explore different fun settings. Downloaded more than one million times globally in 2024, Pok Pok designs app play spaces with support from a roster of experts; astronaut and mom Kellie Gerardi helped with a new one released in January called Space, for instance. "The kids' digital landscape was 90% candy when we arrived," says co-founder and CEO Melissa Cash. "We just want to bring some nutrients." In the last year, Pok Pok grew its subscriber base ninefold while making the app now available on Android and Amazon Fire devices.
