Politicians officially recognise 2023 as ‘Taylor Swift era’ in home state of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has introduced a resolution recognizing 2023 as the "Taylor Swift era" in her home state.

Paying tribute to the singer's cultural and economic power and her accomplishments throughout the year, government officials described Swift as shining "as a role model of courage, self-acceptance and self-determination, persisting in the face of personal and professional obstacles and challenges."

Though it had critics, the resolution passed 103-100.

“Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate" Speaker Rep Joanna McClinton, a Democrat from Philadelphia County, said in reference to Swift's hit “Shake It Off."
