Show Notes
Guest: Toronto Star reporter Mark Colley and contributor Aisling Murphy
In this episode, This Matters looks at the Tay-Tay-takeover of Toronto, in which the pop star's six concerts over 10 days have been estimated to bring in as many as a half a million tourists and pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the economy. Reporter Mark Colley provides some perspective on the phenomenon and all it has entailed, from massive security, transit and traffic planning, to the scene around the city. Aisling Murphy, the Star's resident Swiftie, was at the show on Thursday night, and provides a look at the vibes inside, and a perspective on what the performance was like. PLUS: How Taylor's Toronto "secret songs" in her first performance tied into the season.
