Here are the rules for Taylor Swift concerts at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara
You’ve planned everything you need for your concert. Your outfit was laid out the night before, including your shoes and handbag.
You have plans to meet with your friends to drive together to the stadium.
Your heart starts pounding with excitement as you pull into the parking lot filled with your fellow Swifties. You can’t help your excitement, as you get closer to the entrance where your favorite artist waits. But before you make it to the front of security, you notice the big sign hanging at the front of the line.
“No bags allowed.”
You have two choices. You either sacrifice your personal belongings and abandon your expensive handbag in your car or not attend the concert at all.
To avoid being turned away from security, here’s what you need to know about Levi’s Stadium’s rules and policies for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Santa Clara on July 28 and July 29:

Are friendship bracelets allowed at the Taylor Swift concert?

Can fans tailgate (a.k.a. ‘Taylor-gate?’)
For the Swifties that weren’t so lucky in getting tickets, many fans have rallied outside in the stadium and venue parking lots at previous shows to participate in an act they call “Taylor-gating.”
