Canadian Swifties hoping for local shows were left wanting when Taylor Swift skipped Canada
TORONTO – Taylor Swift gives Canadian fans the cold shoulder.
While many Swifties expected the “Anti-Hero” singer-songwriter to add local tour stops to her growing schedule, they were disappointed on Tuesday when a wave of nearly 40 new dates left Canada.
Swift announced that her Eras Tour – which began in March with dates in the United States – will head overseas in 2024 with four nights at Tokyo Dome in Japan and two at Wembley Stadium in London.
Some of the other countries added to the calendar include France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Poland, Portugal, and Singapore.
Swift’s tour will swing through Mexico, Argentina and Brazil later this year.
A representative for Universal Music Canada, which distributes its music domestically, did not respond to requests for comment.
Swift last played in Canada when her Reputation Stadium Tour rolled through Toronto in 2018. One of the nights featured a surprise performance by Bryan Adams singing his hit “Summer of ’69” with her.
