Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is reportedly the highest-grossing music tour of all time, exceeding US$1 billion in ticket sales. Swift is performing six shows in Toronto starting on Nov. 14 where approximately 240,000 concertgoers are expected to attend, and has three dates scheduled in Vancouver in December.
When an event draws a substantial temporary population influx, public safety is a concern. Toronto’s mayor has expressed confidence that the shows will be safe, and that comprehensive security measures will be in place.
These preparations, including designating a limited-activity zone around the Rogers Centre, are underway.
