Canadian Swifties are angry about Taylor Swift skipping the entire nation on her Eras Tour, including one politician.
Conservative Alberta MP Matt Jeneroux filed an official grievance" with Parliament that would aim to encourage the singer to announce tour dates in Canada.
“It has come to my attention that despite much anticipation, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has neglected to include any Canadian dates or locations as she released her international dates, which includes stops throughout Asia and Europe,” Jeneroux wrote in a letter on June 21. “Similar to what’s being considered in Australia, I would like to file an official grievance within Parliament on behalf of all Swifties in Canada for her and her team to reconsider."
“Not only is this leaving Canadian fans without the opportunity to see her tour, but it is also leaving Canada out of the economic opportunities her shows generate. It is estimated that these shows could generate $4.6 billion for local economies. Fans just don’t simply attend concerts, they spend money at local businesses including hotels, restauants and shops."
Jeneroux posted the letter on Instagram and then took to Twitter to reveal that, while he didn't know how to file an official grievance, he mentioned the House of Commons to acknowledge that he believes he filed it.
As usual, the Internet had lots to say about Jeneroux filing the grievance.
While some applauded the effort, others saw it more of a waste of time from members of government who should be focused on other things.
Swifties, on the other hand, including other MPs, are ecstatic that someone is taking action.
Still, most saw right through the ploy and viewed it mainly as a way to get younger people's attention.
Swift recently announced international dates on her Eras Tour. She'll be heading to Europe, Latin America, Australia, and Asia.
