Taylor Swift's Eras Tour arrives in Toronto this week, marking a significant cultural event. She will perform six sold-out shows at the Rogers Centre, attracting an estimated 500,000 visitors and generating over $282 million for the city. The tour, which has become the highest-grossing in history, will lead to extensive road closures and increased public transport use. Hotels are fully booked, with some rooms priced at $2,000 per night, and resale tickets reaching up to $4,000. Toronto has activated its emergency operations center in preparation. The city is implementing security measures around the venue and banning construction in the area during concert days to manage the expected crowds.
