Dave Portnoy made it to Taylor Swift‘s concert in Miami on Saturday night after all – and he’s already getting in the Eras Tour spirit.
The Barstool Sports founder, who previously accused Swift’s PR team of ghosting him for tickets, shared a photo of himself wearing a huge collection of friendship bracelets at Hard Rock Stadium ahead of the pop megastar’s latest show.
The friendship-bracelet trend has become synonymous with the Eras Tour over the past year, with Taylor’s die-hard legion of fans known for exchanging them with other ‘Swifties’.
Portnoy shared a photo of his own effort while waiting for Swift to take the stage and wrote: ‘World record friendship Bracelet collection incoming’.
On an episode of Barstool’s the BFF’s podcast earlier this month, he accused the singer’s representatives of leaving him high and dry over Eras Tour tickets.

‘By the way, Taylor Swift [is] coming up in Miami,’ Portnoy said. ‘I thought I was getting an invite from her PR agency. They’ve totally ghosted me.’
‘I get zero respect from the Swiftie team for what I do,’ he added. ‘I don’t know, they don’t like me.’
However, in this week’s installment, Portnoy confirmed that he would be attending after a back-and-forth with Swift’s camp.
‘I am going to [see] Taylor Swift, by the way,’ he told co-hosts Josh Richards and Briana Chickenfry. ‘Saturday night.’
Portnoy is the latest famous face to attend Swift’s Eras Tour in Miami this weekend after the likes of Tom Brady, Serena Williams and Jason Kelce enjoyed Friday’s show.
Kelce, the brother of Swift’s boyfriend Travis, left fans in stitches after a photo of him ‘sleeping’ in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium went viral.
Jason headed to Hard Rock Stadium with wife Kylie and their daughters Wyatt, 5, and Elliotte, 3, to support the songstress at the first of her three Miami shows this weekend. Mom Donna also joined them at the concert.

Yet as Taylor belted out some of her greatest hits in front of thousands of adoring fans, Travis’ big bro appeared to be getting some shut-eye in the stands.
Despite the viral photo, he looked a lot more energetic later in the evening after he was captured bopping along to Taylor’s famous ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ song.
Swift finally resumed her worldwide Eras Tour on Friday night after a two-month break, with 16 more shows to come over the next seven weeks.
