The excitement began on the plane: a half-dozen girls and young women exchanging notes on outfits (“You’re doing Lover?” “I’m doing Midnights!” “I’m going as Miss Americana”), making and trading friendship bracelets and even a few headed to the country without tickets, hoping for a day-of miracle. It continued at the bars and restaurants the night before and the day of, with themed cocktails flying and every conversation surrounding, in some fashion, the biggest event that has hit the city in years.

And by the time Taylor Swift took the stage in Toronto on Thursday night (Nov. 14) for the first of six shows, signaling the start of the Canadian final leg of her long-running and record-breaking Eras Tour, it had reached a frenzied pitch, the first notes of show opener “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” nearly drowned out by the screams of those who had waited so long to see a show that may never come back around again.

“Here in 2024 we have taken Eras Tour all over the world,” Swift said early on in the show. “We went to Asia, we went to Australia, we spent all summer in Europe, swung back through America, and then we thought, ‘You know what? If we’re going to bring the Eras Tour to a close’ — which we are, in nine shows — ‘I was thinking, I want to spend those last shows with the most generous, encouraging, passionate, excitable fans.’ So we came to see you, Toronto.”

Prior to the show, the areas around the venue were packed full of people, either lined up to get in the second the doors opened or flooding into the bars and restaurants within the closest vicinity to the venue. But once she hit the stage, seemingly the whole city had squeezed into the Rogers Centre to witness the spectacle. Here are the eight biggest moments from Taylor Swift’s first of six nights in Toronto, with only eight of the 149 Eras Tour shows to go after this.
