    Yes, you will be breathing the same air as her. Don't panic. We're excited for you.

    The nation is buzzing with Swiftie fever, and you can feel the excitement in the air as fans share their concert prep online. We're talking outfits, posters, friendship bracelet making sessions, and more.

    TBH, you can't help but be impressed by a fandom that rides so hard for its fearless (pun intended!) leader. The enthusiasm is almost electric, and the energy feels like it could power every single stadium on Swift's tour.

    But while every Swiftie who was lucky enough to score tickets to one of the seven Australian shows is busy prepping their concert 'fits, sisters Taciane and Talissa are working to organise a nationwide gift for their favourite popstar.

    The content creator sisters want to collect friendship bracelets and heartfelt notes for Taylor Swift, and find a way to get the collaborative project to the pop icon. It's also a way for Aussie Swifties to connect with one another and get out of their comfort zone, and what's better than that?!

    It's Swift's first Australian tour since the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018, and a lot has happened since then! So, Taciane and Talissa want to celebrate Swift's return to Aussie shores, and they want everyone to join in.

    "Even though she’s only going to two [Australian] cities, there are Swifties from across the country excited — some even flying to watch the concert," the sisters told BuzzFeed Australia. "So, it’s about getting everyone involved to give her a gift on behalf of all Aussie Swifties."

    OK, so, no, the sisters haven't figured out a way to reach T-Swift just yet. They've been transparent and upfront about that, and hope to find a way to get the gift to her! Still, they've already started receiving bracelets and messages from all over Australia. How. Fricking. Adorable.

    Replying to @gia.alvarez The answer is we're trying lots of different things. And we'll keep going until we get there. 🥰 But of course, we need a lot of Aussies participating otherwise this project won't go anywhere 😬 And if you have any ideas how we can reach her, please let us know! _ #taylorswift #aussieswifties #friendshipbracelets #erastour #erastouraustralia #taylorswiftinaustralia

    There's also a back-up plan: If they're unable to get in contact with Swift's team, the bracelets will be traded amongst fans at Taylor Swift's final Australian show in Sydney — a tradition that started during earlier iterations of the Eras Tour.

    Talissa and Taciane also asked their TikTok community of 8,000+ followers to vote on what other gifts they should give Swift, beyond the friendship bracelets. The pair gave us some secret intel about this — costumes for Swift's three cats are currently winning the poll.

    The sisters say that the idea of Taylor Swift receiving their bracelet-filled package "would be a dream". They've been Swifties since they were young, and to have her touch something they created would be incredibly special to everyone (including their younger selves).

    @officialtjtv

    Replying to @officialtjtv This video is a bit of a ramble, I don't even know if it makes sense... But thank you to everyone who has already sent in a bracelet. I love seeing them.And all your messages are so special. Fingers crossed we can get it to Taylor swift. 🤞🤞 If anyone has any connections or any ideas, let us know!!

    "It would also show it’s always worth taking a shot and the power we have as a collective," Taciane and Talissa shared. "We want to inspire others to follow their dreams too!"

    So, if you're already planning to make a bunch of friendship bracelets to trade at the Eras Tour, maybe make one or two extra. They might end up in the hands of Taylor Swift.
