Plus, inside Sweat and Tonic’s new location at the Well
Toronto is in its “Eras” era. Taylor Swift is bringing the record-breaking tour to the city for six sold-out shows between November 14 and 23. And we are…ready for it? In preparation for an influx of 500,000 Swifties from around the world, Toronto has already dubbed a two-kilometre strip of Queen West and John Street “Taylor Swift Way.” The city will also be restricting traffic around the Rogers Centre, increasing security and upping TTC service in the area for the duration. With a $700-million economic boom projected for the city, the #swiftonomics may be working in our favour, but it’s not exactly a financial boon for fans. Many are agonizing over the sky-high ticket and accommodation costs. Torontonian Giuliana Sframeli has been to five—five!—Eras Tour concerts across the world, and Toronto will be her sixth. Here’s how much she’s spent to see Swift live. For all of our city coverage, visit torontolife.com or subscribe to our print edition. |

| Last year, Sweat and Tonic took its winning formula to new heights at a second location inside the Well, supersizing every studio with more stations, advanced tech and even more energy. It’s also a wellness mecca, offering biohacking, injectables, massages, a saltwater lap pool and a co-working area with a terrace. |

| With 240,000 people expected to attend Taylor Swift’s six shows, downtown is about to get more chaotic than a Ticketmaster pre-sale. For those looking to grab a bite before the event, we rounded up 10 restaurants within walking distance of the venue. Instead of trying to guess where Swift herself might eat, our list is inspired by her lyrics, her likes and her looks. |
