Taylor Swift took her time bringing The Eras Tour to Canada, but after her first night in Toronto, it91裸聊视频檚 clear that for the Swifties all is forgiven.

Dressed in sequins, cowboy hats and outlandish outfits that made obscure references to the pop star91裸聊视频檚 lyrics, Swift91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淥h Toronto, we are so back!91裸聊视频� 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 Toronto91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淵ou guys have turned this into something that feels more than just a concert,91裸聊视频� Swift said.

91裸聊视频淭he way the city of Toronto has embraced us and welcomed us, we notice all of that, and it91裸聊视频檚 heartening. It feels so good and it feels so different than any other experience I91裸聊视频檝e had before.91裸聊视频�

The singer opened with 91裸聊视频淢iss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淐ruel Summer91裸聊视频� off her 2019 album 91裸聊视频淟over.91裸聊视频� It was the first of the evening91裸聊视频檚 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 91裸聊视频淏ad Blood,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淐ardigan91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淏lank Space91裸聊视频� with deeper cuts, including surprise songs 91裸聊视频淢y Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淔alse God.91裸聊视频�

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.

She91裸聊视频檒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, Swift91裸聊视频檚 dancer Kameron Saunders hopped on the microphone for his moment in 91裸聊视频淲e Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.91裸聊视频�

Saunders has recently become a favourite of Swifties for replacing Swift91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渓ike ever91裸聊视频� line in the song with an improvised dismissal that caters to each country91裸聊视频檚 native tongue. In Toronto, he went with a fake Canadian accent.

91裸聊视频淪orry aboot it,91裸聊视频� he proclaimed with a smirk.

Later, while leaping into the 91裸聊视频淔olklore91裸聊视频� era, Swift suggested that her sweater-weather album might best be suited for the north.

91裸聊视频淒oesn91裸聊视频檛 it seem like the entire 91裸聊视频楩olklore91裸聊视频� era belongs in Canada?91裸聊视频� she asked to a roar from the audience.

91裸聊视频淭he kind of place I imagined in my mind, where 91裸聊视频楩olklore91裸聊视频� took place, is very natural 91裸聊视频� wilderness, beautiful, forests that have been since the beginning of time. And this kind of feels like we91裸聊视频檙e returning the 91裸聊视频楩olklore91裸聊视频� era to where it belongs anyway.91裸聊视频�

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.

91裸聊视频淪he told me in the line that I needed to pinch her because she felt she was in a dream,91裸聊视频� the mom said.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e so thankful we91裸聊视频檙e here,91裸聊视频� she added. 91裸聊视频淭his is even more exciting than Disney World.91裸聊视频�

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 didn91裸聊视频檛 stop superfans from coming to downtown Toronto for Swiftmania Central. Even those without tickets gathered to sing songs, make friendship bracelets and compliment each other91裸聊视频檚 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 91裸聊视频淭aylor! Taylor! Taylor!91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淭his is why everyone loves Canadians91裸聊视频� she said holding her arms out to the crowd.

Later she added: 91裸聊视频淵ou91裸聊视频檝e welcomed us flawlessly to Toronto.91裸聊视频�
