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.”

Executive of the Week: Meet Darren Gilmore, the Canadian Manager Behind the Scenes of Hilary Duff's Chart-Topping Comeback

Working with artists like Mother Mother and Boy Golden, the president of Watchdog Management has used his veteran experience in the Canadian music industry to help orchestrate the comeback of the year so far with the No. 1 success of Duff's new album Luck... Or Something.

Hilary Duff is back, and her comeback is one of the best-executed in years — especially in Canada.

Her new album, Luck… Or Something, debuted last week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, a feat she hadn't achieved in more than two decades. Building on the buzz of her intimate show at History in Toronto earlier this year that had the whole country buzzing, she's now coming to 10 different Canadian cities on her Lucky Me World Tour in 2026 and 2027.
