‘The organised alphabet letters will save your life,’ Taylor megafan Mabel captioned a TikTok video where she showed the Spotlight shelves filled with monogrammed and decorative beads.
‘I’m a crafty person, I’ve been (to Spotlight) before but I haven’t been to this section where they have all these beads, oh my gosh I feel like a kid again,’ another Swiftie Jennifer said in a video.
‘If you have a VIP membership, they are a little cheaper as well and they always have a lot of sales,’ she added.
More Eras ticket holders are posting videos of their closest Spotlight stores to inform fellow Swifties where there is stock available.
‘I may or may not have spent over $100 for beads… the concerts like eight months away but it’s never too early to prepare,’ a woman replied on one video.
‘I think I’m gonna have to go to spotlight,’ a second replied.

‘I went crazy and spent like $100 and have never made a friendship bracelet in my life, need to get started,’ a third added.
Others are reporting that the beads have sold out in many Spotlight stores but they have found alternative solutions.
‘My spotlight sold out of letter beads I’m so sad,’ someone said.
‘I went to eight different shops just to find the white and gold alphabet coin beads and NOTHING. The things I do for BEADS is insane,’ laughed another.
‘I ordered some on Temu! I also got some beads from Kmart and Look Sharp!,’ one user suggested and another said: ‘My spotlight has been ransacked! Temu for the win!’
‘Honestly cheaper to buy online from eBay or Shein,’ one user added.
