Taylor Swift took her time bringing The Eras Tour to Canada, but after her first night in Toronto, it香蕉视频直播檚 clear that for the Swifties all is forgiven.

Dressed in sequins, cowboy hats and outlandish outfits that made obscure references to the pop star香蕉视频直播檚 lyrics, Swift香蕉视频直播檚 fans piled into the Rogers Centre on Thursday to see their wildest dreams come true.

And Swift reciprocated their affection with a tireless performance that offered a generous serving of affection from the start.

香蕉视频直播淥h Toronto, we are so back!香蕉视频直播� she exclaimed in the first of many pauses she took throughout the night to bask in the overwhelming screams of the nearly 49,000 fans inside the venue.

Even Swift appeared stunned by Toronto香蕉视频直播檚 enthusiasm, which has been building to a fever pitch in recent weeks with officials changing transit routes, deploying security and eagerly promoting the concerts and parallel events as a highlight for tourists.

香蕉视频直播淵ou guys have turned this into something that feels more than just a concert,香蕉视频直播� Swift said.

香蕉视频直播淭he way the city of Toronto has embraced us and welcomed us, we notice all of that, and it香蕉视频直播檚 heartening. It feels so good and it feels so different than any other experience I香蕉视频直播檝e had before.香蕉视频直播�

The singer opened with 香蕉视频直播淢iss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淐ruel Summer香蕉视频直播� off her 2019 album 香蕉视频直播淟over.香蕉视频直播� It was the first of the evening香蕉视频直播檚 10 mini sets which represented the eras of her 11 studio albums.

Over roughly three hours, Swift performed almost non-stop in front of a massive digital screen that projected her image into the rafters.

A stunning array of pyrotechnics and lights punctuated her performance while audience members were given LED wristbands that lit up in a sea of colours to represent each era.

Swift mixed up big hits 香蕉视频直播淏ad Blood,香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淐ardigan香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淏lank Space香蕉视频直播� with deeper cuts, including surprise songs 香蕉视频直播淢y Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淔alse God.香蕉视频直播�

Her first night in Toronto marks the beginning of the end for the ambitious Eras Tour which kicked off in March 2023 and touched down in five continents with nearly 150 performances.

She香蕉视频直播檒l play two weekends, a total of six dates, at the Rogers Centre ending on Nov. 23. The Eras Tour then heads to Vancouver for a final three shows at BC Place from Dec. 6 to 8.

On the first night, Swift ensured the proceedings carried an unmistakable Canadian flair.

Early in the evening, Swift香蕉视频直播檚 dancer Kameron Saunders hopped on the microphone for his moment in 香蕉视频直播淲e Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.香蕉视频直播�

Saunders has recently become a favourite of Swifties for replacing Swift香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渓ike ever香蕉视频直播� line in the song with an improvised dismissal that caters to each country香蕉视频直播檚 native tongue. In Toronto, he went with a fake Canadian accent.

香蕉视频直播淪orry aboot it,香蕉视频直播� he proclaimed with a smirk.

Later, while leaping into the 香蕉视频直播淔olklore香蕉视频直播� era, Swift suggested that her sweater-weather album might best be suited for the north.

香蕉视频直播淒oesn香蕉视频直播檛 it seem like the entire 香蕉视频直播楩olklore香蕉视频直播� era belongs in Canada?香蕉视频直播� she asked to a roar from the audience.

香蕉视频直播淭he kind of place I imagined in my mind, where 香蕉视频直播楩olklore香蕉视频直播� took place, is very natural 香蕉视频直播� wilderness, beautiful, forests that have been since the beginning of time. And this kind of feels like we香蕉视频直播檙e returning the 香蕉视频直播楩olklore香蕉视频直播� era to where it belongs anyway.香蕉视频直播�

Canadian fans have waited more than a year for Swift to come to town.

Jennifer Fetters said her young daughter Abigail has been crossing off the days on a calendar waiting for the moment she would finally see Swift in the flesh.

香蕉视频直播淪he told me in the line that I needed to pinch her because she felt she was in a dream,香蕉视频直播� the mom said.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e so thankful we香蕉视频直播檙e here,香蕉视频直播� she added. 香蕉视频直播淭his is even more exciting than Disney World.香蕉视频直播�

Tickets for the Toronto dates of The Eras Tour went on sale in August 2023 and sparked a frenzy as hopeful buyers vied for pre-sale codes and jostled for spots in virtual line-ups on the Ticketmaster website.

Many left empty-handed as demand far outweighed supply as all six dates at the Rogers Centre quickly sold out.

That didn香蕉视频直播檛 stop superfans from coming to downtown Toronto for Swiftmania Central. Even those without tickets gathered to sing songs, make friendship bracelets and compliment each other香蕉视频直播檚 carefully crafted outfits.

Near the end of the show, Swift took one final moment to digest her Canadian-made reception, as the crowd began chanting 香蕉视频直播淭aylor! Taylor! Taylor!香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭his is why everyone loves Canadians香蕉视频直播� she said holding her arms out to the crowd.

Later she added: 香蕉视频直播淵ou香蕉视频直播檝e welcomed us flawlessly to Toronto.香蕉视频直播�
