TORONTO – In a few hours, Taylor Swift will finally take the stage at the Rogers Center in Toronto, and in the streets of the city, it’s frenzy.
On the streets of the city center, in hotels, on public transport and, of course, near the stadium where between 40,000 and 50,000 people will gather on Thursday evening, there are Swifties everywhere.
They (or rather they) are easy to recognize. They are all costumed in the colors of one of the eras of the tour Erasexchange bracelets and take photos in all the places directly or indirectly linked to Taylor Swift.

In front of the Rogers Centre, Atieh Rafiei and Taqwa Tasneem, from Halifax and Regina respectively, were at the height of excitement during lunch time.
“It’s surreal,” says Atiei Rafiei, when asked how she feels.
“I’m going to cry. I’ve been following her since I was 13, so I’m really excited,” adds her friend.
Kelce in town
According to what is circulating on the web, Taylor Swift’s private jet landed in Toronto on Wednesday, but the global star has not yet been seen in town.
Quite the opposite of her lover, the football player, Travis Kelce, who spent Wednesday evening on King Street, downtown.
He was notably seen at the Silent H restaurant, according to a photo that the establishment published on its Instagram account.
