"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.
Swift's song "Cruel Summer", released in 2019, is being
performed on tour and has become a bigger hit this year than
when it first appeared on her "Lover" album.
The tour, which kicked off in March in Arizona, includes 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.
