Foxborough honors Swift
As Swift tours the United States, many of the states have made it a friendly competition in trying to one-up each other when paying tribute to Swift, and Foxborough was no exception.
Governor Maura Healey conferred a “governor’s citation” to honor the singer’s three-day concert in Foxborough. This was announced to Healey’s Twitter on Thursday, the day before Swift arrived.
“Massachusetts…are you ready for it?” Healey wrote?
The citation was also approved by the lieutenant governor, Kimberley Driscoll.

“Governor Healey was having some fun with it and wanted to give Taylor Swift a warm welcome to Massachusetts and acknowledge the joy that her performances are sparking in so many local fans,” said Hand. “It’s a great opportunity to welcome thousands of people from across the region to Massachusetts to visit our hotels, restaurants, and of course Gillette Stadium.”
