Pennsylvania is in its Taylor Swift era — legally!
On the multi-Grammy winner’s birthday (Dec. 13), a resolution from the state’s House of Representatives voted 103-100 to name 2023 as the Taylor Swift era in the singer’s home state, according to Associated Press.
The resolution noted Swift as a person who “transcended the role of pop star,” adding that she “shines as a role model of courage, self acceptance and self-determination, persisting in the face of personal and professional obstacles and challenges.”
Swift celebrated her own birthday by gifting fans with the digital release of her Eras Tour film on Wednesday, writing on Instagram: “I had the time of my life fighting dragons with youuuu. Celebrate 34 with me by watching The Eras Tour (Extended Version) including ‘Long Live,’ ‘The Archer’ and ‘Wildest Dreams’ at home!” To finish her message — which included emojis for each song title — Swift wrote, “PS troll me all you want about my excessive and literal millennial emoji use but A) no one’s prouder to be a millennial and B) it’s my bday and today I am exempt!”
She also threw a star-studded birthday party with her celebrity friends including Blake Lively, Zoë Kravitz, HAIM, Gigi Hadid, Antoni Porowski, Sabrina Carpenter, Jack Antonoff and more.
