Justin Trudeau showed off his dance moves at Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour concert in Toronto.

On Friday (Nov. 22), the Canadian prime minister and his family attended the pop superstar’s second-to-last show at the Rogers Centre. In a fan-captured video from the sold-out event, Trudeau is seen busting a move to “You Don’t Own Me” during the pre-show countdown, just before Swift took the stage.


Another fan video showed Trudeau exchanging friendship bracelets with Swifties ahead of the concert.

This marked Swift’s fifth show at the Rogers Centre, where she’ll perform one final concert on Saturday (Nov. 23) before heading to Vancouver’s BC Place to close out The Eras Tour with a three-night run from Dec. 6-8.

Saturday’s show also featured a long-awaited mashup of Swift’s songs “Cassandra,” “Mad Woman,” and “I Did Something Bad” during the surprise songs portion of her set.

Earlier in the Toronto run, Swift reflected on her six nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards, including album of the year for The Tortured Poets Department.

“You guys did something so amazing over the course of the last few months,” she told the Rogers Centre crowd. “I just mean what you did with embracing The Tortured Poets Department, the album. It’s truly blown my mind because its really emotional for me that this album, I wrote it during The Eras Tour.”

“I wrote that album, made that album, all [while] trying to keep it a secret from you guys,” she continued. “And then [we] announced the album, and then we basically were, like, working really hard to secretly put together a new chapter in the Eras Tour of The Tortured Poets Department and we wanted to surprise you with it, and we did.”

Swift also reflected on the album’s success on the Billboard charts, adding, “And the most recent thing that you did, because everything that happens is a direct reflection of the passion that you show, is you guys got this album nominated for six Grammys. It’s so unbelievable, so thank you.”

Drake Can Seek Kendrick Lamar’s Record Deal & Other Docs in ‘Not Like Us’ Lawsuit, Judge Says

The label had argued that Drake's demands for evidence were premature and overbroad, but a judge says the discovery process can move ahead for now.

A federal judge says Drake can move forward with discovery in his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” allowing his attorneys to begin demanding documents like Lamar’s record deal.

UMG had asked Judge Jeannette A. Vargas to halt the discovery process last month, arguing that Drake’s case was so flawed that it would likely be quickly dismissed — and that the star was unfairly demanding “highly commercially sensitive documents” in the meantime.
