Heartwarming: An 11-year-old Taylor Swift fan has made hundreds of friendship bracelets to donate to people in care homes…Inspired by Her 92-Year-Old Great-Grandmother

An 11-year-old Taylor Swift fan has made hundreds of friendship bracelets to donate to people in care homes after making one for her 92-year-old great-grandmother.

Devon Dickinson, who is going to see Swift perform at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh as the star kicks off the UK leg of her The Eras Tour this week, said she hopes to inspire all generations of Swifties to get involved in the bracelet craze.

Inspired by a lyric in Swift’s song You’re On Your Own, Kid, fans worldwide have been making and trading friendship bracelets at every date so far on the 152-show tour as a way to make new friends.

Devon Dickinson, from Edinburgh, who is a P6 pupil at Buckstone Primary School, came up with the idea to distribute hand-made bracelets in care homes after seeing how happy her great-grandmother Margaret was with the one she gave to her.

She has spent more than 50 hours making the bracelets so far and has made 260, but plans to make more this week after school.

Devon said: “I am so excited to see Taylor when she comes to Edinburgh.

“I’ve loved Taylor for years and the show looks so amazing, but I’m also really excited to meet and trade bracelets with other Swifties at the concert and outside Murrayfield. It looks so fun and is going to be the best day.

“After I made the bracelet for my great-grandma, I realised that a lot of older people don’t have grandchildren or great-grandchildren to make nice things for them.
