Taylor Swift in Toronto: LIVE updates from outside the Rogers Centre
Taylor Swift Takes Toronto by Storm with Sold-Out Concert at Rogers Centre
Taylor Swift has descended upon Toronto to kick off the first of six highly anticipated sold-out shows at the Rogers Centre tonight. The excitement is palpable as fans, known as ‘Swifties’, have already begun gathering outside the stadium in anticipation of the doors opening at 4:30 p.m. for the 6:45 p.m. showtime.
Fans have been cautioned not to line up outside the Rogers Centre until 3:30 p.m. to ensure a smooth entry process. The city is also making preparations for the influx of concert-goers, with road closures on Bremner Boulevard and additional GO Transit trains to accommodate the anticipated crowds.
One devoted fan, Fergie, shared her journey to Toronto from Mexico to catch Swift’s performance. She had previously planned to see Swift in Vienna before the shows were canceled due to security concerns, making this Toronto concert a must-see for her.
The demand for Taylor Swift tickets has been sky-high, with prices on the secondary market reaching over $2,000 for a single ticket. Despite the steep prices, fans like Annelle Stuppy are willing to splurge for the experience of seeing their idol live in concert.
Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie highlighted the economic impact of Swift’s 10-day stay in Toronto, with an expected $283 million in spending from visitors during the concerts. The city is gearing up for over 500,000 visitors during Swift’s residency, showcasing the star’s immense drawing power.
