Since the beginning of Swift’s tour, cities that have hosted the singer-songwriter have honored her in a variety of ways. This included changing city names, creating street signs and illuminating landmarks.

“We know Glendale changed its name, Arlington made a street sign, and Vegas illuminated their Gateway Arches. But here in Tampa we’ve got a reputation to uphold... and we want to go BIGGER,” Mayor Jane Castor said.

City of Tampa officials are asking Swifties to help share the video and tag Taylor Swift on social media to help grab her attention and invite her to be “Mayor Swift.”
