Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stormed into Toronto on Thursday night, bringing the biggest tour the world has ever seen to the Rogers Centre and covering downtown in seas of sequins and sparkle. Tens of thousands of fans, many from around the world, encircled entire city blocks.
“I was thinking, ‘You know, I want to spend those last shows with the most generous, encouraging, welcoming, passionate, excitable fans’ — so we came to see you in Toronto,” Swift said on stage as the rapturous crowd of more than 40,000 erupted. “The way the city of Toronto has embraced us and welcomed us, we notice all of it, and it’s heartening. It feels so good and it feels so different than any other experience I’ve had before.”
