Canadian Swifties who hoped for local shows left wanting as Taylor Swift skips Canada

Jun 21, 2023 | 9:50 AM

TORONTO – Taylor Swift is giving Canadian fans the cold shoulder.

While many Swifties expected the “Anti-Hero” singer-songwriter might add local tour stops to her growing schedule, they were disappointed on Tuesday when a wave of nearly 40 new dates left out Canada.

Swift announced her Eras Tour which began in March with dates across the United States is heading overseas in 2024 with four nights at Japan’s Tokyo Dome, and two in London’s Wembley Stadium.

Some of the other countries added to the calendar include France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Singapore.

Swift’s tour will wind through Mexico, Argentina and Brazil later this year.
