Destin's mayor, Bobby Wagner, woke up on April 19, just hours after Taylor Swift's new album was released, to hundreds of notifications about one particular song. His city had won the Swiftie jackpot—it had been mentioned in one of her songs.
Destin, a smaller city resting on Florida's northwestern coast, is no stranger to tourism. But lately, scoring a mention on a Swift album has thrust a destination into the spotlight like nothing else.
Now the town (and those around it) are gearing up to take advantage of the namedrop—including reaching out to Swift herself. Will she answer? And can a town of just 14,000 handle an event as colossal as a Taylor Swift concert? Read the full story linked in our bio to find out.
A question for the Swifties: do you feel called to travel to the places mentioned in her songs?
