Why does Tag(name: "swift" keep appearing when I return the string?

trying to call the tag from Tag(name: "swift") in the return function, but getting the full assignment of tag. What to do?

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
    let name: String
}

struct Post {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let tag: Tag

    func description() -> String {
    return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)"
    }
}

let tagName = Tag(name: "swift")
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOS Development", author: "Apple", tag: tagName)

let postDescription = firstPost.description()

You have to use tag.name to get just "swift" in your return statement.
