The tweet as of Friday morning had garnered over two millions views and a gamut of reactions
After imploring the singer last year to not make it a “cruel summer” and come to Canada, Justin Trudeau commended Taylor Swift for her “good choice wrapping the Eras Tour” in this country.
“Has this always been your endgame?” the 52-year-old prime minister added.
The tweet as of Friday morning had garnered over two million views and a gamut of reactions from X users.
Trudeau’s congratulatory post on Thursday comes after the PM’s request on X last year.
Back in July 2023, Swift announced more European dates, but nothing in Canada. That prompted Trudeau to initiate a campaign on X urging the singer to include Canada in her tour.
His message to her contained puns based on some of her song titles. “It’s me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.”
Swift’s grand entrance into Toronto
Swift made her entrance on Thursday in a small convoy of vehicles along the Gardiner Expressway, closed to all but her entourage.
“I really want to spend those nine shows with the most generous, encouraging, welcoming, passionate, excitable fans, so we came to see you in Toronto,” she said.
Some Swifties waited hours in merchandise lines to buy a $95 blue crewneck sweater or $110 beige hoodie, reports USA Today. Other fans bought snacks like “Bejeweled pretzels”, “Lavender Haze cocktails” and “Hi, I’m the popcorn, It’s me.”
Toronto embraced Swift warmly. Police horses had friendship bracelets draped around their necks. And a 140-foot inflatable bracelet — made by artist Shawn Kolodny in New Orleans — was sent from Indianapolis’s Lucas Oil Stadium to Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
In the ultimate friendship exchange, the enormous bracelet is expected to depart after her Toronto stint for BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, where she is scheduled to conclude the Eras Tour.
