Glendale picks ‘new’ city name in honor of Taylor Swift shows

Mayor makes proclamation, which takes effect Friday, Saturday

Taylor Swift opens her massive 52-date Eras Tour this Friday, March 17 in Glendale, with a follow-up concert the very next night. Both shows are sellouts, says stadium General Manager Andy Gorchov who on Monday reported that the Glendale venue will host 140,000 fans over both nights.
