Canadian Swifties launch food bank fundraiser ahead of Toronto, Vancouver Eras Tour shows

The group wants Canadians to "give fearlessly" and "Tay It Forward" to raise $1.3 million.

As the final countdown to Taylor Swift arriving in Canada to take the stage for six nights in Toronto and three in Vancouver as part of her nearly two-year Eras Tour, Swifties around the nation are looking for ways to celebrate the singer and do some good in her honour. While plans are afoot in both cities for concert-goers to express gratitude through several "fan project" initiatives during the shows (particularly the closing night of the entire tour, set to happen in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8) others are in search of more immediate ways to help out fellow Canadians. While close to a half-million people are expected to attend Swift's Eras Tour shows between Rogers Centre in Toronto in November and BC Place in Vancouver in December, "Tay It Forward" organizers are encouraging even those who didn't score tickets to pitch in a few bucks.
