New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) declared "Taylor Swift Ham, Egg, and Cheese" as the official state sandwich of New Jersey on Thursday, May 25, ahead of the singer's concert dates in the state.

"Welcome to New Jersey. We’ve been waiting for you," Murphy tweeted, referencing Swift's 2014 song "Welcome to New York." 

In a video attached to the tweet, Murphy explained that "In New Jersey, we have a reputation for a great war between Taylor ham and pork roll."

"Taylor ham" and "pork roll" are two names for the same product, says the website "Jersey Pork Roll." 

The product is typically called "Taylor ham" in the northern part of the state. 

Invented in Trenton in 1856 by state senator John Taylor, pork roll is heavily processed meat that is sold in cylindrical tubes, said the site. It is typically sliced, fried and served in a breakfast sandwich

"Usually, we let you call it what you want, but since we have a superstar coming to town, we know all too well that we should commemorate the occasion," said Gov. Murphy in the video. 

"We are declaring the official state sandwich of New Jersey a Taylor Swift ham, egg and cheese," Murphy also said. 

"Welcome to New Jersey, Taylor! We've been waiting for you, and it would have been a cruel summer without you."

The Garden State governor also tweeted an image of a proclamation — chock full of Taylor Swift song and album references to boot — declaring that "The Taylor Swift Ham, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich" is the state sandwich of New Jersey. 

The tweet was shared across New Jersey's official state social media accounts.

"But wait there’s more … for those of you going to the East Rutherford shows — we will have a new special edition CD available ONLY on site starting at 12:30pm ET on Friday! This CD will have a never-before-heard ‘Midnights’ vault track called 'You’re Losing Me'!" said Swift in her tweet.
