If you live in Toronto—or anywhere in Canada, really—by now, you know that Taylor Swift will be coming to Toronto for 2 weeks, during which she will be playing six shows as part of her Eras tour at the Rogers Center, with opening performances from Gracie Abrams.
The two-week event will indefinitely take over major parts of the city, with many people visiting from all over Canada (and even internationally) to experience the fantastic spectacle that is the Eras Tour. Themed events, listening parties and bracelet-making workshops will kick off in the next week as the city counts down to the biggest event of the year.
Whether you’re visiting from out of town or travelling internationally, explore our fool-proof guide to where to stay, eat, shop, and explore during your trip, as well as all the Swiftie events happening during her time in Toronto.
