Taylor Swift is kicking off the final three nights of her Eras Tour concerts in Toronto before heading to Vancouver.

The pop superstar is set to pack the Rogers Centre stadium full of Swifties on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The artist’s Eras Tour celebrates all 10 of her existing studio albums with a set list of 44 songs. Here’s a look at the Swifties who gathered near the stadium as they channel their inner Tay Tay in all their glitter and glam.
