'Swifties' Were Hungry To Discuss The Declaration On Twitter!

The declaration was undoubtedly met with commentary from fans hungry to discuss the merits of the governor's move!

"New Jersey swifties explain the significance," one Swiftie asked.

"Taylor ham egg and cheese is a popular sandwich here, plus a statewide debate over whether it's called Taylor ham or pork roll," a fan responded to their question.

"the new jersey governor did what," a Swiftie asked in disbelief.

Many New Jersey Swifties were in the mood to proclaim their love for a pork roll sandwich; others were just downright confused.

"Are the replies non-New Jerseyans? Because this is the most New Jersey thing ever and hilarious. Plus, all these state dedications are jokes at this point. Laugh!" a Swiftie, presumably from New Jersey, wrote.
