Beyonce named honorary mayor of Santa Clara

She may be interested in becoming a politician, but Beyoncé can nonetheless add that she was briefly a ‘mayor’ on her résumé — even if it was only an ‘honorary’ title.

The 41-year-old pop superstar will be named the honorary mayor of Santa Clara, California, the Mercury News reported on Tuesday.

She will also reportedly receive a key to the city prior to her Renaissance Tour stop on Wednesday.

The Santa Clara City Council was reportedly voting on Tuesday night to transfer the title of mayor from Mayor Lisa Gillmore to Beyoncé, though only for a single day to coincide with her show.

‘The city of Santa Clara is excited about Beyoncé’s upcoming visit to the world-renowned Levi’s Stadium,’ said Santa Clara spokesperson Michelle Templeton in a statement.

‘Her concerts will certainly bring a great deal of energy and excitement,’ she added.

A proclamation paying tribute to the Lemonade singer notes that she ‘has had a tremendous cultural impact as one of the most influential pop culture figures’ of recent times.

Beyoncé made history earlier this year when her acclaimed Renaissance album helped her to break the record for the most Grammys won.
