The three dates at BC Place are the only Canadian dates other than Toronto that the star has announced for her Eras Tour so far.

West coast Swifties' wildest dreams are coming true: Taylor Swift has announced three Vancouver dates in 2024. The global superstar, whose "Cruel Summer" currently sits atop the Hot 100, will be performing on December 6, 7 and 8 at BC Place with Gracie Abrams opening.

Swift hasn’t performed in Vancouver since 2015 and has released a wealth of new and re-recorded material in the intervening years, including the recently dropped 1989 (Taylor’s Version). Luckily for fans, her Eras Tour goes much farther back than that, spanning the seventeen years and ten albums of her musical career, from her early days as a country songwriter to her rise to pop dominance.

Canadians have been concerned about missing out on the three-hour extravaganza. Initially, Swift had no Canadian dates lined up, and she's so significant an artist that the snub drew the attention of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who tweeted at the star asking her to come to Canada. This summer, she added a massive six-date run in Toronto taking place in November of 2024. That will now be followed by the three Vancouver shows at BC Place.

In the meantime, Canadian Swifties have been dancing in the theatre at showings of the Eras Tour movie, which began screening on October 12 and had the biggest domestic opening ever for a concert film.

In cities where Swift makes a live appearance, tickets are notoriously difficult to come by — so difficult that Swifties launched a class-action lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment. Vancouver fans can register now until Saturday November 4 at 5pm PST in order to pre-verify themselves for ticket purchases. Actual ticket sales begin on November 9, and fans who have pre-registered will be notified the day before as to whether they have been chosen for onsale or relegated to the waitlist.

Our Early — But Not All That Early — 2027 Grammy Nominations Preview

Last year at this point, four of the eight albums that were later nominated for album of the year had been released and a fifth was just weeks away.

The 68th annual Grammy Awards were presented just nine days ago, so how can we already be thinking ahead to next year’s awards? Well, even though many execs who flew out to L.A. for the Grammys haven’t even filed their expense reports yet, we’re nearly halfway through the eligibility year for the 69th annual Grammy Awards – Aug. 31, 2025 through Aug. 30, 2026.

Last year at this point, four of the eight albums that were later nominated for album of the year had been released – Leon ThomasMUTT, Tyler, the Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and the eventual winner, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos. A fifth eventual nominee, Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM, was just weeks away from its March 7 release. The other three nominated albums were both released during the summer: Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out and Justin Bieber’s Swag (both released on July 11) and Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend (on Aug. 29, just one day before the close of the eligibility year).
