The tree is up and lighting outside the art gallery. There are various lyrics in lights such as "Shake it Off" around the city centre and the city centre is busy with more people than normal. Lots of tourists in town from around Canada and North America and I'm sure there are some from further afield.
Taylor is playing her final concerts of the Eras tour on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at BC place and it will definitely be a boost to the economy here. For me I didn't get a ticket but friends have some and their hype is real.
