We've all seen that guy or gal strutting up to the security officer at the function after making it through the long AF line, only to be stiff-armed because of their inappropriately sized bag. Maybe it was even you—it happens to the best of us! But don't let it be you at Taylor Swift this weekend.
No, not after more than a year of waiting for The Eras Tour to finally make it to our Miami shores. Not after shelling out for tickets to the concert, putting together the perfect outfit, strategizing the best way to get there and how to score the best Taylor Swift merch.
No, ma'am! Before you walk out the door, please make sure you've thought about the final barrier between you and Taylor Swift this weekend: your bag. It can make the difference between gliding joyfully through the stadium gates or being denied entry by the security agent.
You won't be sent home, but you will have to leave the line and figure out what to do with your unacceptable accessory. Before that happens, heed the official policies below, including what types of bag you can bring and which items are banned altogether. Also note that you can carry in a factory-sealed water bottle, so that's at least some savings!
