Glendale, Arizona, is changing its name to Swift City. Because on Friday and Saturday, March 17-18, Taylor Swift will start the Eras Tour there, with two sold-out performances. The temporary name comes into use Friday, the opening day of the tour, and lasts through Saturday.

The name Swift City was introduced to the public on Monday. Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers said that “all Swifties are encouraged to share their smiles ‘that could light up this whole town’ on all social media(社交媒体) because ‘the best people in life are free.’”

Glendale had digital billboards(数字广告牌) along the freeways and in Westgate Entertainment District, where State Farm Stadium is, welcoming fans to Swift City. The city also held the chance to share some helpful advice for fans to know before they head to the concerts:

▲ Arrive early and stay late to avoid the worst traffic.

▲ Book parking in advance.

▲ Don’t rely on your GPS. Instead, follow directions on your parking pass and look for information on digital road signs.

▲ No lights of any kind will be allowed in the stadium.

Swift will be on the road through August, making stops in cities like Houston, Nashville, Chicago, and Los Angeles. She’s bringing artists such as Muna, Gayle, Phoebe Bridgers, Haim and Gracie Abrams to provide support on certain dates throughout the long journey.
