There's no question that Taylor Swift is a music royalty and perhaps the single most successful music act ever (Bigger than the Beatles? Bigger than Elvis?) In Toronto, Swift is treated as royalty and a motorcade rivals what King Charles might experience. And who pays for this? And is it all necessary? Meanwhile, Swift's presence in Toronto adds some $282 million to the city's economy.

While Taylor Swift still has concerts to perform in Toronto, she will then be in Vancouver from December 6 to 8, with the VPD preparing to add 700 officers to its rotation during the Tay Tay concerts. But about the bar set by Toronto.
