The 24-year-old Swift told GMA's Robin Roberts she was very vocal about her love of the amazing city. Being named global ambassador was "the craziest, coolest thing," Swift said. "I'm so enthusiastic about this city that I feel like, when I love something, I'm very vocal about it."

The New York connection was the theme of Swift's day. Her fifth album "1989" hit the streets Monday. Its breakout song is "Welcome to New York." She said New York was the "huge landscape" for the album.

Swift now has a home in the Big Apple, too. She recently bought a $20 million deluxe apartment in the city that last week she called "a place of endless potential and possibilities," adding, "you can hear that reflected in this music and this first song especially."

As for Times Square,, New Year's Eve, Swift will headline the popular "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2015." The annual show goes along with the timeless dropping of the ball at Times Square officially ushering out the new year and bringing in the new for the city and nation.
