Taylor Swift’s getting a big police escort up in Canada and, while some fans say she completely shut down a freeway in the city, we’re told that’s not true … she only partially shut it down.
Here’s the deal … T-Swift’s up in Toronto for a few “Eras” tour shows — and, yesterday, video surfaced of the pop star and her team getting Justin Trudeau-level treatment in the city, with cops leading her down an empty highway on the way to her show.
The move pissed off a lot of people in the city … who posted videos to social media calling Taylor out for totally shutting down the highway and causing traffic jams — but, cops tell us that isn’t exactly the case.
A rep for the Toronto Police Department tells us … the police escort is part of the overall security plan in the city — ’cause she has a large and active following, and this protection is in the best interest of public safety.
Plus, TPD didn’t close down the entire highway completely, we’re told … but, instead officials did “rolling closures” which — as we understand them — means closing down the highway by sections as the vehicles passed.
Basically, people could drive on the freeway … just not at the same time or speed as Swift. If you watch the videos closely, there seem to be cars following her little bubble of protection at a respectful distance.
Taylor made it to Rogers Centre — home of the Toronto Blue Jays and Taylor Swift for the next few days … which, BTW, has a hotel attached to it. Probably a bit of a safety concern to stay there with all her fans milling about, we’d guess.
As you know, Taylor put on a great performance for her fans in America’s neighbor to the North … gyrating onstage in a very sexy way days after visiting Travis Kelce.
Seems Taylor’s in her Presidential Motorcade Era!
