Animal shelter names adoptable dogs after Taylor Swift songs ahead of her concert

When Taylor Swift brings her Eras Tour to Florida this weekend, the 11-time Grammy winner may help some dogs find their forever homes in the process.

In honor of Swift's three-show swing through Florida this week, a local animal shelter has named four of its dogs after some of the singer's most popular songs.

The dogs -- named Betty, Karma, Marjorie, and Willow -- will be available for adoption through SPCA Tampa Bay starting on Thursday, the date of Swift's first show in Tampa.

Swift's three Tampa Eras Tour dates on April 13, 14 and 15 are the singer's only stops in Florida.

On April 15, the day of Swift's final show, SPCA Tampa Bay is also hosting its 32nd Annual Pet Walk, at which there will be a team named Team Swifties.

"If you were left ticketless for any of Taylor Swift's concerts, we invite you to come out and shake it off with SPCA Tampa Bay at Pet Walk instead," the nonprofit organization said in a press release. "We know that feeling all too well."

Swift is a known animal lover. Earlier this year, the Williamson County Animal Center in Franklin, Tennessee, named several of its puppies after Swift's songs after she donated money to the shelter.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor released a video Monday inviting Swift to be the city's honorary mayor for the day.

She also presented Swift with a key to the city.
