Are you ready for it, Toronto? The Eras Tour is coming to Toronto and Taylor Swift will play six highly anticipated sold out epic shows at the Rogers Centre: November 14 – 16 and 21 – 23, 2024. The beloved American singer-songwriter has become a cultural phenomenon and will become the first artist to ever perform for six nights during a single tour at Rogers Centre. It’s predicted the Eras Tour will become one of the biggest events in Toronto’s history, adding millions of dollars to the local economy. In fact, it’s such a massive event that the City of Toronto unveiled 22 ceremonial “Taylor Swift Way” street signs in the downtown core to honor her arrival. After the concerts signs will be donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank to raise money through auctions. Whether or not you are one of the lucky Swifties to score tickets, there are many ways to celebrate. Keep reading for Taylor-inspired events happening throughout the city.

Inglewood, CA - August 03: Taylor Swift fan Emma Sadeghi, of Glendale, shows her friendship bracelets as she arrives at the emporarily renamed "Speak Now/Taylor's Station", at the Downtown Inglewood Metro K Line station.

The pre-concert event of the year, Toronto’s Version Taylgate ‘24, is the place to meet up with friends and purchase all your concert merch because me and karma vibe like that. So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it. Located down the street from the Rogers Centre at the North Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, there will be an enormous bracelet-making and exchange area, photo activations, glam stations, and lots of music.

It’s no secret Taylor loves her three cats (I mean, who doesn’t love cats?), so it makes purrfect sense to celebrate all things feline at Tdot Swift 4 Cats. Happening at the historic El Mocambo on Spadina Avenue, it’s a chance for fans aged 19 plus to get their groove on with talented musicians playing her songs. Get ready to walk the famous El Mocambo stairs that have appropriately been replaced with names of famous cats. Best part? All proceeds from the event go to cat shelters across Canada including Home at Last Rescue and Annex Cat Rescue in Toronto. Makes sense, since karma is a cat, purring in my lap 'cause it loves me.
