It’s been a long time coming, but Taylor Swift’s first show in Vancouver has finally arrived.
This weekend’s concerts are the final stops on her record-breaking “Eras Tour,” and the fan frenzy is in full force.
Officials with the City of Vancouver say have been preparing for this day since the moment the star announced she was coming here more than a year ago.
“The second that we were announced as being a stop on the tour, we started planning. It's such a big opportunity,” said Lisa Parker, the director of public space and street use for the city.
Vancouver police say they are ready for it with 700 officers being deployed near B.C. Place this weekend, working on several major events to make sure things run smoothly.
There will be extensive road closures with recommendations to take transit where possible to avoid the traffic jam.
The road closures run from noon until midnight on Friday, Dec. 6, Saturday, Dec. 7 and Sunday, Dec. 8:
