On Tuesday, Santa Clara City Council made Beyoncé honorary mayor ahead of her show at Levi’s Stadium this evening.
Notably, the musician’s publicist, Dr. Yvette Noel-Schure, accepted the key to the city on her behalf.
The council’s proclamation cited the singer’s “tremendous cultural impact as one of the most influential pop culture figures”.
It also highlighted her record 32 Grammy Awards and philanthropic commitments, including co-founding the Survivor Foundation and BeyGOOD.
However, the music icon wasn’t the first to enjoy such recognition in Santa Clara. Taylor Swift received the same honor when her “Eras Tour” touched down in July, even inspiring a temporary re-branding of the city as “Swiftie Clara.”
