No way! Yes, WAY! Taylor Swift Way!

Mayor Olivia Chow is unveiling Taylor Swift Way today in honour of the pop megastar’s upcoming Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour shows at Rogers Centre.  For the month of November, the City has designated the route from Nathan Phillips Square to Rogers Centre along Queen Street West, John Street, Front Street and Blue Jays Way as Taylor Swift Way with the installation of ceremonial street signs.
