Taylor Swift is adding another title to her resume. NYC Go, a tourism promotion website for New York City, announced Monday via Twitter that the singer-songwriter is their new Global Welcome Ambassador.

The news comes on the day Swift dropped her much-anticipated album 1989, which opens with a song called Welcome to New York. Swift sat down for an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America on Monday and called her new title “the craziest, coolest thing.”

“I’m so enthusiastic about this city that I feel like, when I love something, I’m very vocal about it, I’m vocal about it with my music,” Swift said. “I just go around like, ‘Everybody! New York is amazing!’ So I think they just picked up on that.”

Swift moved to a $20 million Manhattan penthouse in May and claims to have found massive inspiration from the change. “New York was a huge landscape for what became this album,” she admitted. “I approached moving there with such wide-eyed optimism. I saw it as a place of endless potential and possibilities, and you can hear that reflected in this music and this first song especially.”

Backlash to the news has already started. USA Today has a run-down of the criticism swirling around social media, which include outrage that a wealthy Nashville native who has lived in the city for less than a year could be considered an appropriate ambassador. Swift has yet to comment on the criticism.
