VIDEO: Heading to Toronto for Taylor Swift? You might have to thank this guy

Throughout an look on our ‘Contained in the Village’ podcast, Justin Trudeau was requested whether or not his much-publicized tweet had something to do with the singer’s resolution so as to add Canadian reveals to her Eras Tour

Prepared for it? When you’re a Swiftie, this clip of the prime minister is price watching.

Bear in mind final yr, when Justin Trudeau took to Twitter to attempt to persuade the music icon so as to add some Canadian dates to her Eras Tour? It was July 2023, and Swift had simply introduced 14 new reveals in Europe.

“It’s me, hi,” the PM replied to her tweet. “I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.”

Not surprisingly, the tweet generated loads of headlines — and a month later, Swift did add some Canadian reveals: six in Toronto, scheduled for Nov. 14 to 16 and Nov. 21 to 23.

It’s me, hello. I do know locations in Canada would like to have you ever. So, don’t make it one other merciless summer time. We hope to see you quickly.

A visitor on this week’s episode of our Contained in the Village podcast, Trudeau was requested if he deserves any credit score for Swift’s resolution to come back to Canada. 

“If I was a good politician, I’d take full credit for it,” he stated. “The reality is I don’t know how much of a difference my tweet made. I think if it drew attention to the fact that there were so many Swifties who wanted shows up here…then I am happy to have played a small role in that.”

Requested if plans to attend any of the sold-out live shows, Trudeau laughed.

“I’m still trying to figure it out,” he stated.
