German city Gelsenkirchen renamed to mark Taylor Swift's Eras Tour show

The Swifties are about to take over the German city of Gelsenkirchen, where American superstar Taylor Swift is set to perform at three Eras Tour concerts. In honour of the singer, the city has renamed itself Swiftkirchen - at least temporarily - to welcome the tens of thousands of fans who are expected to go to her shows on July 17, 18 and 19, German news agency DPA reported.

Several more signs “at highly frequented locations in Gelsenkirchen” will be put up in the coming days, city spokesperson Markus Schwardtmann told DPA. One of the poorest cities in Germany, Gelsenkirchen is a former coal mining town that has never recovered from the decline of its main industry. The Ruhr city is known for its football team and a massive stadium that occasionally attracts international entertainers such as Swift. And there is more to come in Germany’s Swiftie town.
