Heartbreak is an understatement for what we’re about to share. Taylor Swift has officially cancelled all Canadian Eras tour dates due to “stadium complications and intricate stage requirements.”
In a drastic and unexpected decision, the 14 grammy-award winner has announced she will no longer be bringing her tour north of the border. Swift’s management team will be issuing an official statement shortly, however the news has already devastated fans across the country.
Despite their best efforts to accommodate the tour in Canada, there are logistical challenges with the stadium infrastructure and Swift’s elaborate staging elements that are necessary to her live shows that simply can’t be worked around come November.
Just last year, three more shows were added to Toronto due to high demand, totalling 6 shows in the city – November 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
Swift was slated to perform nine shows in Canada with the final three in Vancouver, from December 6th to 8th, ending her Eras tour.
Though not all hope is lost, the team is “actively exploring” other options to make sure she comes to Canada in the future.
Canada wasn’t part of the initial Eras tour plans when it was first announced. However, efforts to bring the popstar to Canada were consistently made by fans, supporters, and even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, back in the summer.
Information on refunds and next steps will be issued in the following days. But for now, it looks like we’ll have to catch Taylor Swift Eras tour on Disney+.
Thankfully this isn’t true – Happy April Fools’ Day!
