Pop star Beyonce ran the town of Santa Clara as she was given the key to the city and had been made the town's honorary mayor for her concert at the Levi's Stadium.
Santa Clara city council carried out a vote on the night of August 29, to pass over the title for a day from Mayor Lisa Gillmor to the Crazy in love singer.
"The city of Santa Clara is excited about Beyonce's visit to the world-renowned Levi's Stadium. Her concerts bring a great deal of energy and excitement," Santa Clara spokesperson Michelle Templeton said in a statement.
As such, the city of Santa Clara has declared that Beyonce has become the honorary Mayor of Santa Clara for the whole duration of August 30, in celebration of her Renaissance tour stop at the Levi's Stadium.

Beyonce is now the latest pop star to be named honorary Mayor of Santa Clara. Prior to this, Taylor Swift was also given the title of city mayor on July 28 and 29 as part of her Eras tour dates at the Levi's Stadium. The city was also dubbed Swiftie Clara for the duration of those two days.
Swift's Eras Tour has already done wonders, though Beyonce is not behind as it has been estimated that the 41-year old singer's Renaissance tour could be her highest-grossing concert tour ever, and may even exceed the revenue she has earned from all of her previous concerts combined.
Much like Santa Clara which is currently celebrating the singer's arrival, cities like Atlanta and Minneapolis had also similarly put into effect what they have titled, Beyonce Day.
The singer kicked off the Renaissance World Tour on May 12 in Stockholm, Sweden. After the European leg wrapped up in late June, and in early July, she began taking the tour across North America, which she will continue to do through late September.
