Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to be a secret Swiftie after tweeting an invitation to superstar Taylor Swift asking her to bring her Eras tour to Canada
Swift announced Wednesday that she will add another 14 concerts in Europe and the U.K. to her career-spanning concert series with special guest Paramore.
There are no Canadian dates yet for her international tour, which will take Swift through Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia next year.
Trudeau responded to Swift’s tweet with paraphrased lyrics from her own songs, posting: “It’s me, hello. I know places in Canada would love to have you there. So don’t let it be another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.”
Swift’s snub of Canada has made its way into the House of Commons, where Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux said last month he would make an “official” complaint “on behalf of all Swifties” in the country.
Neither Swift nor her management have addressed the decision to leave Canada.
