Taylor Swift explains why she’s ending her Eras Tour in Canada

Taylor Swift took to the stage at the Rogers Centre in Toronto and told fans why she chose to end her worldwide tour in our country.

Before the Canadian dates were announced, Trudeau had reached out to Swift on social media, asking her to bring the tour to Canada.

“It’s me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon,” Trudeau posted on July 2023, referring to some of Swift’s songs.

On the first night of Swift’s show in Toronto, Trudeau also welcomed the superstar to Canada with a social media post on X.

We’re ready for you, @taylorswift13. Good choice wrapping the Eras Tour in Canada.

Has this always been your endgame? #TorontoVancouver

Governments are expected to take in around $40 million in tax revenue, according to Destination Toronto.
