Here are some factors that may have affected why Canadian Swifties can’t have nice things
When it comes to selling out a stadium show, Canada just can’t size up to the competition. Many of Swift’s U.S. concerts were booked in massive venues, including the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, which was able to hold up to 73,000 people for each of the two nights she played, while the new SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles will bring in 69,000 people per show over five nights in August. Canada’s stadiums don’t compete.
Todd Jenereaux, an executive at Republic Live, which organizes the Boots & Hearts country music festival in Oro-Medonte, Ont., said many Canadians are willing to travel far and wide for their favourite musicians. “They’re quite prepared, especially in the summer, to roll it into a vacation,” he said. “I’ll bet you the Nashville stops had lots of Canadians at the Taylor Swift shows, because it becomes part of tourism. They book a weekend, have their concert tickets, and they do Nashville stuff the rest of the time.”For all the fuss around the lack of Canadian dates, it’s quite possible Swift hasn’t written us off.
