No stranger to Canada, Taylor has performed here many times since first opening for U.S. country band Rascal Flatts in 2006 with just five songs at what is now Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. Four years later, she was back in the same place, this time as a headliner on her Fearless Tour.

Taylor Swift is in Toronto to perform her first of six sold-out shows at the Rogers Centre tonight. The highly anticipated show gets underway at 6:45 p.m. but crowds of excited ‘Swifties’ have already been spotted roaming about the area outside the Rogers Centre in anticipation of the doors to the stadium opening at 4:30 p.m.

Toronto is entering its Taylor Swift era as the pop megastar brings her record-breaking tour to the city for two weeks. Canada's most populous city is bracing for a crush of fans as Swifties congregate for six concerts as well as a multitude of Swift-themed events.
