“It’s me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon,” Trudeau said, replying late on Wednesday to an earlier tweet by Swift announcing the new tour dates.

There are around 14 new dates in Swift’s tweet. The American pop singer’s song Cruel Summer, released in 2019, is being performed on tour. The song, which is from her ‘Lover’ album, has become a bigger hit this year.

She plans more than 100 concerts through the summer of 2024 – in the United States, Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia, but none in Canada.

It is not the first time that Swift’s lack of Canadian stops has entered the political arena. Last month Conservative lawmaker Matt Jeneroux filed what he called an “official grievance” on social media imploring her to book some dates in Canada.

Swift last came to Canada in 2018.
