Quick Glance: Santa Clara: The Swiftie Capital of the USA
- When Santa Clara ceremonially changed its name to Swiftie Clara last summer in honor of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking “The Eras Tour” coming to town, it was supposed to be a fun gesture for two nights only. 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.

Quick Glance: Apple lays off over 600 workers in California: First major post-pandemic job cuts
- Apple is carrying out over 600 layoffs in California, representing the company's initial significant wave of job cuts following the pandemic, within a broader context of tech industry consolidation.
- According to reports to regional authorities, 614 employees were informed on March 28 in various offices that they would be losing their jobs, with the dismissals taking effect on May 27.
- The eliminated employees came from eight offices in Santa Clara, as indicated in the submissions under the state's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, also known as WARN. However, the specific departments or projects of the workers remain undisclosed.
- Apple did not respond to an early Friday request for comment. The company, headquartered in Cupertino, California, stood out as a noteworthy anomaly while other tech firms downsized their workforce over the last two years. Amidst a surge in hiring during the COVID-19 crisis, with increased online activity and spending, major tech companies have maintained a larger scale post-pandemic. Yet, the current trend entails a shift towards cost reduction as growth rates decelerate.
