The era of Taylor Swift hits Pennsylvania

Person of the year. Huge ticket seller. People dying with heat exhaustion just to see her. A wild 2023 for Tay Tay..

But Pennsylvania went one step further.. the state House in the Keystone State now officially declared it all the Era of Taylor Swift..

And even this vote was divisive and along party lines..

The resolution celebrates how Swift has ‘transcended the role of pop star,‘ and recognizes her achievements in 2023 – including being named TIME’s Person of the Year

Most Republicans voted against the honorary measure, as did a few Democrats, despite it being introduced by eight Pennsylvania progressives..

She is from Wyomissing, PA, in Berks County.

Just before it passed, Speaker Rep. Joanna McClinton, a Democrat from Philadelphia, defiantly provided with her own rendition of the lyrics of Swift’s track ‘Shake It Off’ – telling those who planned to vote against: ‘Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.’

Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, a Republican, responded by questioning what the guidance, in reality, actually meant, before labeling it an empty gesture by the progressive left.

‘What a joke of the State House Assembly of Pennsylvania,’ Borowicz said of the proposal, which would go on to be barely passed after some back-and-forth.  

‘This is the Democratic party though, idolizing Hollywood,’ the lawmaker continued. ‘Giving Taylor Swift an era while our veterans get a day.’

Rep. Russ Diamond, another Republican, was even more pointed with his remarks, reminding the more than 200 lawmakers how Swift broke up with her home state when she moved to Tennessee to pursue her singing career.
