But the moniker seems to have stuck, as new data suggests the Silicon Valley city is the nation’s Swiftie Capital.
- How did Santa Clara achieve this recognition? Through an analysis by Casino.org of the 20 cities visited by Swift on the 2023 U.S. leg of her tour, evaluating various metrics such as tour attendance, Google searches, TikTok posts, and Swift-themed events.
- Approximately 10,700 TikTok videos were recorded during Swift's concerts on July 28 and 29 in Santa Clara. One standout video shows Swift pointing to the crowd during the “Enchanted” musical interlude, with fireworks from Great America lighting up the background.
- Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor, who named Swift the honorary mayor, expressed pride in her city being the Swiftie Capital. The tour attracted around 137,000 fans, surpassing the city's population.
