Swift told screaming fans at B.C. Place Stadium Friday night that Canadians are so ‘warm-hearted.’
Superstar Taylor Swift cozied up to her B.C. fans at the start of Friday night’s highly-anticipated performance, saying Canada is full of welcoming and warm-hearted fans.
It was the first of three shows on her final stop of her worldwide Eras Tour.
“Vancouver is actually the very last city we will play on the Eras Tour, did you know that?” Swift bellowed into the mic.
Fans screamed and then Swift continued by saying there are reasons for why her team chooses certain destinations as their final stop.
“We spent the entire year of 2024 travelling around the world,” she said, adding that she had been all the way out to Australia and around Europe.
“And we thought to ourselves ‘where have the fans been so generous, so welcoming, so warm-hearted, where they know every single word, where they not only sing them they scream them — oh we gots (sic) to go back to Canada and so now here we are in beautiful Vancouver.”
She ended by saying that there had been a lot of Friday nights on the tour but Vancouver would be the last Friday night, as fans whooped and hollered.
The Swifties were part of the 250,000 people expected to move in and out of the stadium district Friday through Sunday. In anticipation of the crowd surge, the city has closed several roads around B.C. Place, and TransLink has increased transit services.
