T-Pain was honored as Tallahassee Street was renamed T-Pain Lane

Florida musician T-Pain well and truly put his city on the map and now the city of Tallahassee has returned the favor.

In a ceremony held Sunday (November 10), Tallahassee Mayor John Daly awarded to T-Pain (whose stage name is derived from the phrase “Tallahassee Pain”) with both Keys to the City, and cemented the musician's place as one of the city's favorite street songs.

As part of the ceremony, Pasco Street – a section of the road that the Tallahassee Democrat notes He walked as a child from Nims Middle School to the Walker Ford Community Center – it has officially been renamed T-Pain Lane.

“Today, I had the incredible honor of presenting @TPain with the Key to the City in recognition of his contributions to music and his continued commitment to this community.” Dailey wrote to X (formerly Twitter). “As a hometown hero, T-Pain has inspired countless fans and artists around the world, and we're proud to call him one of our own.

“To further celebrate his legacy, we named 'T-Pain Lane' in his honor. Thank you T-Pain for making us #TallahasseeProud!”

Hours after the ceremony, T-Pain also took part in a show at the Adderley Amphitheater to celebrate Tallahassee's two centimeter, where he performed tracks from his decades-long career.

“Everything that happened today was just a dream come true,” T-Pain told the assembled crowd.

Recently, T-Pain was also announced as one of several performers set to perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday, November 28.

As part of the event's 98th anniversary, the parade will also feature Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Chlöe and The War and Treaty as they perform this year, with the lineup also featuring Bishop Briggs, Kylie Cantrall, Dan + Shay, Dasha, Coco Jones, Walker Hayes, Ariana Madix, Joey McIntyre, Idina Menzel, Natti Natasha, Rachel Platten, Lea Salonga, The Temptations, Alex Warren, Sebastián Yatra, Charli D'Amelio and Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia.
