Taylor Swift to be gifted key to the city of Arlington, Texas ahead of The Eras Tour
Taylor Swift – who was honoured with the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this week – is bringing her Eras tour to Arlington for three shows starting tonight.
The city are also ceremoniously renaming the street outside the stadium as Taylor Swift Way. The street sign will be located near the intersection of Randol Mill Road and Collins Street.
In a press release from the city, Arlington boasted that it was "participating in a friendly competition with other U.S. cities hosting The Eras Tour to demonstrate its 'Reputation' as one of Swift’s biggest fans."
This follows on from Las Vegas lighting up its Gateway Arches in colours that corresponded to different eras of Swifts career, as well as Glendale, Arizona changing its name to Swift City.
