Toronto is preparing for Taylor Swift's six-show Eras Tour run starting Nov. 14.
The City of Toronto has partnered with Rogers to temporarily rename John Street, Blue Jays Way, Front Street and Queen Street West to Taylor Swift Way.
The unveiling of the signs took place Nov. 4.
"Luckily for me, my classes are at 8 a.m. so I might be able to avoid all the traffic that is expected because of her concerts," said Emily Candido, a Toronto Metropolitan University student.
"As much as it's exciting, taking public transit in the city during rush hour is already a struggle, but adding the fact that Taylor Swift has a show, or multiple shows, the city is going to be crazy busy," said Candido.
Candido said she will not be attending any of Swift's shows.
Although doors don't open until 4:30 p.m., Toronto's Version: Taylgate is taking place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from 1:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., where fans can gather before the concert.
Along with the street signs, posters of Swift have been placed around the city, exciting fans ahead of the shows.
Sabrina Policelli, a resident near the Rogers Centre, says she will be leaving the city to avoid the mayhem and isn’t attending any of the shows either.
"Ever since Taylor Swift announced her Toronto dates, I knew I had to get out of the city to avoid the chaos of fans making their way to the show, so I'll be staying at my friend's place while she's here," said Policelli.
The City of Toronto encourages concertgoers to use public transit due to road closures.
