The 33-year-old has received some impressive welcomes to her tour stops in the US so far. From being awarded temporary mayorship to having the entire city renamed for the weekend, the local appreciation for Swift's tour - and its staggering revenue - is quite apparent.

The Anti-Hero singer will play two shows at Paycor Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, on Friday and Saturday with the support of opening acts MUNA and Gracie Abrams.

Mayor Aftab Pureval is honoring the occasion by giving Swift her very own holiday. That's right, June 30, 2023, is officially Taylor Swift Day in Cincinnati.
