To further welcome the Shake It Off star, Judge Hidalgo signed a proclamation naming April 21 through April 23 as Taylor Swift The Eras Tour weekend in Harris County.

“We know all too well that other areas have done huge things. They've lit up the town; they’verenamed streets, they’ve even made you mayor for a day. But we’re going to do something even better. I know if I did any of that, folks would say that I am the man.” said Judge Hidalgo in her video message. “Long story short, we’re renaming NRG Stadium–where you’ll be performing–to NRG Stadium (Taylor’s Version).”

Added Judge Hidalgo, “With the name change, I know it’ll never go out of style. Plus, it’s not only the young that enjoy your music.

I hope your stay here is beyond your wildest dreams, and for everyone in Harris County, let’s get ready for it!”

Judge Hidalgo is re-naming the stadium as a ceremonial action and the stadium’s name will revert on Monday, April 24, 2023. Taylor Swift is the first performer in Harris County history to sell out NRG Stadium three nights in arow on a single tour.
