Taylor Swift gets city renamed after her amid Eras tour success

Taylor Swift fever is officially in full swing...

Taylor Swift has been living in all of our minds rent-free recently after she kicked off the European leg of her Eras tour.

Everyone’s been OBSESSED with every single outfit, VIP area celeb and surprise song, which changes each night.

And then, of course, there’s been all the frenzy over her beau Travis Kelce, who has been proving he really is Swift’s number one fan by dancing away as he watched on proudly from the crowd.

He even managed to get involved on stage at one point, making an unexpected cameo as one of her dancers, and ultimately stealing the show.

Whether you’ve been to see her live in action or watching clips on social media from the comfort of the sofa, it’s fair to say that Taylor Swift fever is officially in full swing.

In fact, one city in Germany has even been renamed in her honour, and if that doesn’t show her sheer power, then we’re not sure what does.

It’s apparently one of many ‘surprises’ for Swifties heading to Gelsenkirchen, West Germany, later this month - with officials excited to host ‘the most successful singer in the world’.

In her honour, the city will become Swiftkirchen, which we can all agree has a GREAT ring to it.

Markus Schwardtmann, head of the city's public relations department, said: “Today is the starting signal. We will be installing many more signs in highly frequented places in Gelsenkirchen in the coming days.

“There will be many small and large surprises so that the Swifties in Gelsenkirchen have a lot to discover.”

Mayor Karin Welgen added: “As mayor, I am of course very happy that Taylor Swift, currently the most successful singer in the world, will be performing three times in Gelsenkirchen.

“International attention will therefore be back on our city immediately after EURO 2024.”

Swift will be performing at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen - sorry, Swiftkirchen - from Wednesday 17 July to Friday 19 July.

She's currently in Amsterdam until this weekend, before hitting up Zurich and Milan.

After stints in Hamburg, Munich, Warsaw and Vienna, the singer will then be making her way back to London for her final UK dates.

When autumn rolls around, she'll be whizzing over to Canada for dates in Toronto and Vancouver.
