Santa Clara joins other cities in temporarily changing their names in honor of Swift. Previously, Minneapolis became Swiftieapolis, and Pittsburgh transformed into Swiftsburgh during her respective concert stops. In Kansas City, Missouri, a road was temporarily renamed Swift Street (Taylor's Version) as a nod to her re-recordings. Swift's impact extends beyond these symbolic gestures, as she was also featured in the Beige Book for her significant economic contributions.

The recent US Federal Reserve report highlighted the positive effect of Swift's concerts on local economies. In Philadelphia, despite the tourism sector's slow recovery, May witnessed the strongest hotel revenue since the pandemic's onset, largely attributed to the influx of guests attending Taylor Swift's concerts in the city.
