People all across the world will be fighting for tickets Wednesday to see Taylor Swift during the Toronto leg of her latest tour, hoping they won't be faced with teardrops on their guitars.
Swift's Eras tour has been ongoing since March and will extend into the end of 2024 with six concerts at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The shows will be her first in Canada since 2018.
Tickets have been incredibly hard to come by, highlighted earlier this year when overwhelming demand crashed Ticketmaster's website and a pocket of Swift fans sued the site for misrepresentation, fraud and price-fixing.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, people who signed up for pre-sale codes are eagerly waiting.
"I never really thought she was going to come because everyone said she wasn't. And then when she [announced it], it was kind of exciting news for everyone," Swiftie Keitlyn Keough told CBC News.
For those who aren't able to make it to the show, the St. John's School of Rock is making sure Swift's music makes it to stages on the Rock with a tribute concert.
"She's got millions of fans, and there's certainly a market for it and we all love playing the music. So why not spend a night celebrating?" School of Rock Musician Aubree Lambe said.
Lambe said she's been a fan of Swift since she was a child, and learned many of her songs on guitar.
While she hopes she can get tickets for one of the shows in November 2024, she knows her work will be cut out for her.
"I know it's a little bit of a war to get tickets, but I will certainly try."
