Taylor Swift: Watch as workers at Palmeiras’ stadium handpick beads from Swifties’ friendship bracelets off the field after Eras Tour at Allianz Parque in Sao Paulo
Workers at the stadium of Brazilian soccer team Palmeiras were forced to clean up the mess of beads and glitter fans left behind after Taylor Swift performed last month, a new clip shows.
The pop sensation, 34, continued the South American leg of her Eras Tour in Brazil last month, wrapping up the final leg of the sold-out 2024 show in Sao Paulo.
Palmieras' home base, the Allianz Parque, hosted the Anti-Hero hitmaker for three nights from November 24 to 26.
But now footage has emerged showing workers at the football stadium painstakingly picking bracelet beads from the grass on the field.
Swifties – fans of the 12-time Grammy Award winner – have made a tradition of making, wearing and exchanging friendship bracelets during the Eras Tour, usually made with ceramic, lettered or colored beads.

The usage originated as an ode to her 2022 hit, “You're on your own, kid,” from her Midnights album, in which it is referenced in the lyrics, “So make the friendship bracelets/Take the moment and taste it.'
But the workers at Allianz Parque certainly hadn't tasted it, as the fragile nature of the homemade jewelry meant that many seemed to break and spill pearls all over the field.
They reportedly had to comb through the pitch to remove every individual bead before Palmeiras returned to action in the Brazilian Serie A.
A clip showing the workers sitting on the grass was shared on social media, with the user writing “Vsf Taylor,” which translates to “Go f**k your Taylor.”
Later in the video, workers were seen wearing plastic rain ponchos as they continued their laborious work despite the wet weather.
They had just three days to remove the beads before Palmeiras was in action at home against America-MG on November 29. Luckily it didn't seem like any stray beads got in the way of the match as they went on to win 4-0.
The reigning Serie A champions played away to Fortaleza on November 26, while Swift was in town clearing the Allianz Parque for the show.
The week before her performance in Sao Paulo, Swift had to postpone one of her three dates in Rio due to extreme heat.

Immediately after finishing the South American leg of her tour in Sao Paulo, the Anti-Hero hitmaker flew back to Kansas City to reunite with NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Swift has regularly cheered on her tight end friend at several Kansas City Chiefs this season.
But she had to put cheerleading aside when she returned to the stage for her wildly popular Eras Tour.
Swift entertained the masses once again as she performed her sold-out show in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
It was Kelce's turn to play the role of loving partner earlier in November when he traveled to Argentina to watch his superstar girlfriend during the Chiefs' bye week.
The NFLer was seen dancing with her father, Scott Swift, at Swift's hit show in the Argentine capital.
Kelce and Scott were spotted together chatting in the VIP tent at the Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires.
