Taylor Swift has a rich fanbase and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to be one of them. On November 22, 2024, the Canadian Prime Minister attended Swift’s fifth concert in Toronto and the internet seems to think he got some good moves. Reportedly, his presence at the concert was also confirmed by the PM office.

The concert was the second last night of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in Toronto. The tour started in March 2023 in Arizona and will end in Vancouver with three shows scheduled from December 6 to 8, 2024 at BC Place. Fans shared video clips of Justin Trudeau dancing to the beats while others shared their reactions. One X user commented,

“Well shame on him, while he is in a concern, Montreal is under fire!!! Right on prime Minister keep having fun!!!”

Netizens were excited to see Justin Trudeau attend Swift’s concert.

“HOW COOL IS THIS!! EVEN WORLD LEADERS ARE COMING TO SEE THE ERAS TOUR,” a social media user wrote.
“What a humble and down to earth Prime Minister! Best father and world leader ever! Love it! I'm proud that you're my Prime Minister!” a netizen reacted.
“Trump: I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT Normal leaders of countries: IM FEELING 22 OOW OOOOOOW,” an online user remarked.

Other internet users criticized Justin Trudeau for overlooking the Montreal issue to attend the concert.

“Maybe he should go check and see how Montreal is doing,” a netizen pointed out.
“My god what a f*cking ass hole, I'm gonna have to move to another planet, no ... another galaxy,” an internet user wrote.

Justin Trudeau asked Taylor Swift to make a stop in Canada for her Eras tour

As per reports, the Prime Minister exchanged friendship bracelets with fans at the concert. On July 5, 2023, Justin Trudeau shared a post on X asking the singer to make a stop in Canada for her Eras tour. Hoping to see her perform, the Prime Minister wrote,

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

On November 15, 2024, he shared a post on X appreciating Taylor Swift for wrapping the Eras tour in Canada. However, he also asked ‘Has this always been your endgame?’ Saturday marks the conclusion of two weekends of Toronto concerts for the Eras Tour, which has spanned five continents with nearly 150 shows.

Taylor Swift’s Toronto concerts have attracted thousands of fans from around the globe. Moneris, a Canadian payment services provider, reported that citywide spending surged by 57% across all categories during the first three days of the Toronto stop on the tour.


Meanwhile, according to The Economic Times, Justin Trudeau has been facing immense pressure, including criticism over Canada's worsening housing crisis. Economists warn that halted condo sales and stalled project funding could exacerbate the issue. Rising interest rates over the past two years have priced many Canadians out of home ownership, and relaxed mortgage rules have provided little relief.
