A German city has renamed itself after Taylor Swift to celebrate the singerâs âThe Eras World Tour.â In preparation for the âCruel Summerâ singerâs three concerts at Schalke stadium, the town of Gelsenkirchen has temporarily changed its name to Swiftkirchen. The idea to change the townâs name to Swiftkirchen, which translates to âSwiftâs Church,” was proposed by local fan Aleshanee Westhoff who petitioned Mayor Karin Welge. In a letter to Westhoff, Mayor Welge said, âItâs a great idea to temporarily rename Gelsenkirchen to âSwiftkirchen’.” Swift recently performed three celebrity-packed concerts at Wembley Stadium in London, where she brought her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on stage. Kelce joked about appearing at Swiftâs show, but she took him up on it and brought him out during the ‘1989’ segment.
