Taylor Swift's Canadian fans were left heartbroken and confused this week as they tried to understand why the pop superstar seems prepared to skip their country on her Eras Tour.
Swift announced nearly 40 new dates on a tour that sees her wind through Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia over the next year. Missing from the latest round of shows are stops in Canada.
It's raised questions why the "Cruel Summer" singer-songwriter, who's in the midst of an extensive summer tour in the United States, would choose not to bring her career-spanning, three-hour show to Canada.
Neither Swift nor her management has addressed the decision, while her record label Universal Music Canada declined to comment.
Some in the music industry suggest that it's hard to pin down just one possible reason.
"You're trying to get into the mind of the person who has the largest parasocial relationship with everyone in the world," said Liam Killeen, who manages Canadian acts the Tea Party and Classified at Coalition Music.
"We just don't know what she thinks."
