Story
Not only did Taylor Swift sell out Lumen Field for her two shows this weekend, but she also packed the King County Council chambers on Tuesday.
The Council honored the pop star’s tour stop in Seattle by proclaiming the week of July 18-25 as Taylor Swift Week in King County.
King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci brought the proclamation to celebrate not only Swift's huge musical and cultural contributions as an artist, but also her role modeling for young women and girls.
“Taylor gives a voice to young women and uses her platform to make their voices heard, both in their personal lives and in the public realm. She encourages fans to register to vote and get involved in issues they care about. She leads by example, taking stands for the LGBTQ+ community and against sexual harassment,” Balducci said. “In declaring July 18th through 25th Taylor Swift Week in King County, we’re thanking Taylor for being a positive role model and showing Swifties that we value each and every fan and their unique voice.”
Balducci invited seven young Swifties to read the proclamation, with each taking an album title-themed clause.
