Tampa Superintendent Uses Taylor Swift Songs to Warn Students Not to Skip School for Concert

Swift is performing in Tampa, Florida from Apr. 13-15 on the latest leg of her sold-out Eras Tour

A Tampa, Florida superintendent warned students to not skip class for a Taylor Swift concert as she performed in the city over the weekend with a clever use of the singer's song titles.

Hillsborough County Superintendent Addison Davis sent out the message — which incorporated a whopping 27 song titles from Swift's discography — to parents and students on Wednesday ahead of her Thursday night concert, warning off any students considering staying out late for the concert and skipping school on Friday.

"I understand I am the 'Anti-Hero' here, and 'Call It What You Want', but 'You're On Your Own Kid' if you think being a Swiftie is a good excuse for missing important instruction," Davis said in the letter, which he also read out in a video posted on Twitter.

"You may think you're 'Out of the Woods' since it's the fourth quarter, but make no mistake, if you miss an important lesson, you will not be able to 'Shake it Off,'" he continued. Your report card could be 'Treacherous' because you refused to 'Stay, Stay, Stay' in class.

Discussing what prompted the song-filled message, Davis' media director Tanya Arja told the Tampa Bay Times that "this was our idea, in Communications" and said that it helped that the superintendent was a fan of Swift.

She said, "Of course he loves Taylor Swift."

Arja told the newspaper the superintendent had hoped to both encourage students not to miss class while also celebrating Swift's concerts along with the community.

"Of course he wants kids in class," Arja said. "But this is a fun thing. He knows it's a big thing going on in Tampa this week. It's just a fun little thing we did."
