Nashville has installed a bench in Centennial Park in honor of Taylor Swift, with lyrics from her track ‘invisible string.’ (Read More Here).

“For Taylor Swift, a bench for you to read on at Centennial Park.” “Over the last several months, cities nationwide have been welcoming Taylor Swift into their backyards, but here in Nashville, we have the distinct honor of being able to welcome her back to her own,” Mayor John Cooper told People in a statement.

Swift originally moved to Nashville when she was just 14 in order to pursue a music career.

The city has installed a park bench in Centennial Park with a plaque dedicated to Swift that reads: “For Taylor Swift. A bench for you to read on Centennial Park. Welcome home, Nashville.”

Swift will perform three nights at the Nissan Stadium, beginning on Friday, May 5 through Sunday, May 7.

Throughout her ‘Eras Tour’ stops, cities have celebrated the singer’s arrival in creative ways. Her stop in Houston saw the Houston Humane Society offering $13 cat adoptions in honor of the singer’s lucky number and love of cats, and temporarily renamed the stadium she performed at to “NRG Stadium (Taylor’s Version).”

In addition to the proclamation, the city also installed a park bench in Centennial Park with a plaque reading, “For Taylor Swift. A bench for you to read on Centennial Park. Welcome home, Nashville.”

The park bench is a reference to her song “Invisible String,” which was featured on her 2020 album folklore. In the track, Swift sings, “Green was the color of the grass/Where I used to read at Centennial Park/I used to think I would meet somebody there.”

Meanwhile, the proclamation cleverly includes Swift lyrics through the eras in each line like “Taylor Swift was just a girl trying to find her place in this world when she performed at Nashville’s Bluebird Café, was discovered, and then signed to a record label.”

Through this celebration, the city also aims to thank her for shedding light on their home through her music.

“Nashville will always be home for Taylor in our eyes,” Butch Spyridon, CEO of Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, tells PEOPLE. “We know all too well the significant role she has played elevating our Music City brand as a songwriter, artist and global superstar, and welcoming her back in an only-in-Nashville way is an honor.”

The mayor of Nashville has released a proclamation recognizing ‘Taylor Swift Homecoming Weekend’ in honor of her Eras Tour shows there this weekend.
