Taylor Swift is set to be the next mayor of Santa Clara — at least for her two-night engagement at Levi’s Stadium later this month.
Santa Clara is the latest city pulling out all the stops as Swift passes through the Mission City on July 28 and 29 for her record-breaking ‘Eras Tour.’
On Tuesday night, the Santa Clara City Council is expected to vote on a proclamation that would name Swift the honorary mayor and change the city’s name for ceremonial purposes to “Swiftie Clara.”
The document, which bears Mayor Lisa Gillmor’s name, said the commendation is being given to “celebrate the positive local impact to the Santa Clara community, as well as the impact regionally, of Taylor Swift’s music, tours and extraordinary fanbase.”
‘The Eras Tour’ will be Swift’s third visit to Santa Clara, having previously held concerts at Levi’s Stadium for ‘The 1989 World Tour’ in 2015 and ‘The Reputation Stadium Tour’ in 2018.
Other mayors and governors have bestowed similar honors on the singer-songwriter throughout the 53-night, 20-city U.S. leg of her tour.
Last month, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey declared the city would change its name temporarily to Swiftieapolis and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz proclaimed June 23 and 24 as “Taylor Swift Days.”
During Swift’s Pittsburgh stop, Mayor Ed Gainey renamed the city Swiftsburgh for the week. And more recently during her two-night appearance at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, North Kansas City put a twist on a road already called Swift Street, renaming it Swift Street (Taylor’s Version) in honor of her re-recording her old albums to take back ownership of her music.
