Arizona city to change name in honor of Taylor Swift as Eras Tour kicks off

Taylor Swift will have an entire city named in her honor when the much-anticipated Eras Tour kicks off in Glendale, Arizona, next week.

Mayor Jerry P. Weiers is planning to read a proclamation on March 13 that will temporarily change Glendale’s name while the pop superstar performs her sold out set at the city’s State Farm Stadium — home to the Arizona Cardinals.

Swift is playing a pair of shows at the venue March 17 and March 18, with GAYLE and Paramore serving as opening acts. The State Farm Stadium is the same location where Rihanna made history last month as the first woman to perform pregnant as a headliner of Super Bowl LVII’s halftime show.

To give the “Bad Blood” singer a warm welcome, local restaurants are also pitching in on the fun by offering Swift-themed menu items, 12 News reported.
