Minneapolis is now “Swiftieapolis.” At least for this weekend. Mayor Jacob Frey declared the temporary name change as the city prepares to welcome crowds of about half a million people attending Twin Cities Pride and Taylor Swift concerts.

The city is urging people attending either events to arrive early and consider reserving their parking spaces on apps beforehand.
