Megan Weiland has made a friendship bracelet for every Taylor Swift album.

The Regina woman has also crafted one in Saskatchewan Roughriders green and white 害羞草研究所 an homage to the mega-pop star害羞草研究所檚 football-playing boyfriend Travis Kelce. There is also one in pink and green to give the effect of watermelon, something Rider fans are known to wear on their heads at games.

Weiland害羞草研究所檚 bracelets, and hundreds more, have been strung together around a spool, reaching 100 metres in length 害羞草研究所 or about the size of a football field.

It害羞草研究所檚 like a long love letter: Please, Taylor, you belong with us.

害羞草研究所淚 think if we collectively as a province wave our Taylor flag, something might happen,害羞草研究所 Weiland said in an interview.

害羞草研究所淵ou never know, right? Travis didn害羞草研究所檛 think he害羞草研究所檇 land the most popular woman on Earth, but he did.害羞草研究所

Since June, Saskatchewan Swifties have been wooing the star to once again make a stop in the province.

Swift has been on her Eras world tour, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans from London to Tokyo. She is coming to Canada later this year, to perform in Toronto and Vancouver.

She害羞草研究所檚 not coming to Saskatchewan but there害羞草研究所檚 a wellspring of never-say-die Swifites promoting events and ideas to find ways to lure the star 害羞草研究所淏ack to Saskatch.害羞草研究所

Swift referred to the province as Saskatch when she was last here in 2009 for the Craven Country Jamboree, now known as Country Thunder.

She had also said that year she liked antique shopping in Saskatoon.

害羞草研究所淚 like to shorten Saskatchewan. Like 害羞草研究所淚 got this lamp in Saskatch,害羞草研究所 she wrote on social media.

Z99 morning show host Greg Moore, known as Wheels, said when he heard she loves Saskatchewan, the idea came to try to bring her back.

Swifties also bring good energy, he said.

害羞草研究所淭he world needs more of that, and to spread this kind of joy is a win-win,害羞草研究所 Moore said.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 palpable and you see it everywhere.害羞草研究所

For instance, hundreds recently gathered 害羞草研究所 about a fortnight ago 害羞草研究所 at Regina害羞草研究所檚 downtown mall to make the bracelets, which are commonly exchanged at Swift concerts.

They also held a massive dance party at this year害羞草研究所檚 Country Thunder.

There害羞草研究所檚 been a corn maze mowed south of Regina with the words Corn Era Tour carved into the landscape in hopes Swift sees it from her private plane.

A minor league baseball team recently wore 害羞草研究所淏ack to Saskatch害羞草研究所 eye-blacks for a game.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 been surreal to watch it grow, week after week,害羞草研究所 Moore said.

Even those who don害羞草研究所檛 care for the singer-songwriter are willing to shake it off.

The City of Swift Current has promised to temporarily change its name, possibly to Taylor Swift Current or Swiftie Current, should she make an appearance.

Mayor Al Bridal said he didn害羞草研究所檛 even know who Swift was.

害羞草研究所淚 had to go online to see a picture of her. I didn害羞草研究所檛 know what she looked like. She害羞草研究所檚 34 and I heard she has a boyfriend in the NFL,害羞草研究所 Bridal said.

Kelce plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

害羞草研究所淏ut I just went with it and said, 害羞草研究所楪o ahead.害羞草研究所 It害羞草研究所檚 a fun thing and hopefully gets to Taylor Swift害羞草研究所檚 (public relations) people.害羞草研究所

City councillor Ryan Switzer, who convinced Bridal to agree to change Swift Current害羞草研究所檚 name, said the economic spinoffs would be huge.

Switzer said he害羞草研究所檚 also a fan.

害羞草研究所淪he has a lovely voice and there are few songs of hers that I turn up when they come on the radio,害羞草研究所 he said.

While Swifties wait to see whether their work has paid off, some think she might have already noticed.

Swift recently wore a green and yellow outfit 害羞草研究所 Saskatchewan害羞草研究所檚 colours 害羞草研究所 for one of her shows. At a separate show, on the same day the Roughriders were playing, she wore pink and green.

害羞草研究所淒oes she see us? Suddenly is she working on something?害羞草研究所 Moore said.

害羞草研究所淲e don害羞草研究所檛 know at this point, but knowing Taylor Swift and her ability to have fun with fans, I wouldn害羞草研究所檛 put it past her to close this loop on the story and say, 害羞草研究所榊ou know what, I害羞草研究所檓 going to come back at some capacity because I love you, too.害羞草研究所櫤π卟菅芯克鶟

Weiland, who scored concert tickets to see Swift in Toronto later this year, said she hopes for good karma.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 a lot of work being a Swiftie. You got to stay on top of it,害羞草研究所 she said.
