As Swift made her way to Rogers Centre for a show, video footage showed her traveling with a police escort, leading some to believe the entire highway was closed off. However, authorities explained that the highway wasn't fully shut down. Instead, they implemented "rolling closures," where sections of the highway were temporarily blocked as her convoy passed. This allowed traffic to flow, just not at the same time or speed as Swift's vehicles.
The police escort, designed to ensure public safety, comes as a result of Taylor's large and devoted fan base. With her star power, the extra protection is seen as a necessary measure. The Rogers Centre, which is also home to a hotel, offers a convenient and secure location for Taylor during her time in Toronto.
Fans can rest assured that while Taylor may be getting a level of security usually reserved for heads of state, it's all in the name of safety. And by the looks of her electrifying performance, the superstar is enjoying her time north of the border, fully embracing her "Presidential Motorcade Era."
