TAMPA, Fla. — While fans from all around the Tampa Bay area are pumped and prepared for Taylor Swift to bring three full nights of "Bejeweled" performances to Raymond James Stadium – it seems like the actual city of Tampa is more excited.
In a video posted to the city's Instagram and Twitter, Mayor Jane Castor explained with T-Swift planned to make her way to Tampa, fans were wondering what the city will do to welcome her.
"We know Glendale changed its name, Arlington made a street sign and Vegas illuminated [its] gateway arches – but here in Tampa, we've got a 'Reputation' to uphold," Castor said in the video.
Wanting to go bigger with the welcome to the popular pop singer, Castor announced there will be a new mayor for a day.
"I want to present you with a key to the city and invite you to be our honorary mayor for a day," the (soon-to-be-former) mayor said. "Mayor Swift has a nice ring to it.
"We can't wait to welcome you and your fans to Tampa (Taylor's Version)."
The city of Tampa even changed its name on Twitter to "City of Tampa (Taylor's Version).
Along with taking up a new title, the singer is making a mark in the city of Tampa with Old City Hall, the Tampa Riverwalk and all downtown bridges set to shine red in honor of the Eras Tour.
And if that wasn't enough, Hillsborough County leaders made sure to extend a warm welcome to Taylor Swift by changing the county's name to "Swiftsborough."
