“Hey Taylor, it’s Mayor Jane Castor. We’re so excited to welcome you to Tampa.”
She said she wanted to do things better than other towns when Taylor came to town:
“We know Glendale changed its name, Arlington made a street sign and Vegas lit up its Gateway Arches, but here in Tampa we have a reputation to uphold. We want to go bigger. So I want to introduce you to a key to the city.
Moreover, she also invited the singer to be the honorary mayor of the city for a day. She opened a wooden box containing a key and said:
“Mayor Swift has a nice ring. We look forward to welcoming you and your fans to Tampa (Taylor’s Version),” the current mayor added with a wink.
They also captioned the post:
“#TAMPA are you ready? We have a reputation to uphold!! Tag @taylorswift13 if you agree ‘Mayor Swift’ sounds great.”

“It’s his world and we just live in it (red heart emoji)”.
Another explained the significance of Swift’s concert:
“Taylor’s tour benefits the cities where she performs. It’s the biggest event of the year. hotels, motels, restaurants, bars, etc. make more profit. That’s why cities honor and welcome Taylor as Queen.
However, some were not happy with the news. A user wrote:
“Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
Another pointed to the lack of gay rights in Tampa and asked Taylor to refuse:
“She should decline…!” If she is an ally of the LGBT+ community, she will not participate with a state that does not allow us to be ourselves. #Don’tSayGay #gayrights #humanrights @taylorswift declines the offer.
