A few days ago, Glendale, Arizona's mayor — Jerry P. Weiers — announced that the city would be officially changing its name to honor Taylor Swift kicking off the Eras Tour there. Well, I am delighted to inform you that the new name has been revealed! ... Are you ready for it?? DRUMROLL, PLEASE!
On March 17 and 18, the city of Glendale will officially be called......SWIFT CITY!
Listen, I was really hoping for Swiftdale, Era-zona, but it's still a pretty fun name if you ask me. Ugh, her impact. Can we say iconic? Like, look at this official proclamation!

@GlendaleAZ @taylorswift13
Personally, I'm a little crushed I won't get to visit Swift City myself, but there's still time to rename the US to "The United States of Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince" or something when the tour starts, right???? 👀
