Taylor Swift is an icon in music history. So, when Taylor Swift announced that she was going on tour in Canada, it shocked tons of Canadian Swifties. Archana Shivraj was sitting in bed on her phone when she saw the news: Taylor Swift is finally coming to Canada. “I was so shocked,” said Archana, 11, in an interview with CBC Kids News. “I ran into my mom’s room and was like, ‘Taylor Swift is coming! Can we please, please, please go?’” Archana, who is from Markham, Ontario, is just one of many Canadian fans (called “Swifties”) who’ve been pleading for months for the singer to come up north.

Many fans, however, lived far away and couldn’t go there because of the inconvenience.
