Are you ready for it? It’s been a long time coming, but global pop star Taylor Swift is finally bringing her iconic Eras Tour to Canada. For six nights, Taylor and her Swifties will take over Toronto, followed by an additional three nights in Vancouver. Across the city, several foodie spots are their Taylor Swift era and helping to celebrate Taylor’s return to Toronto. Whether you have tickets or will be watching ticket sites all week long for last-minute finds, you can still be immersed in the “Enchanted” energy that Taylor is bringing to town. From sweet treats to “Gorgeous” drinks and so much more, your Swiftie heart will be full! Here are all the Taylor Swift-inspired experiences happening in Toronto this November.

Prince Street Pizza and Andrea’s Cookies”Pre-Swift Pizza”

If your social feed is anything like ours, you’ve been seeing Prince Street Pizza and Andrea’s Cookies cookies constantly. What happens when two viral foodie spots combine forces for the biggest pop star on the planet? “Sparks Fly” of course! The two businesses are teaming up to bring Toronto the “Pre-Swift Pizza” combo. The combo includes Prince Street Pizza’s delicious New York-style slices paired with a birthday cookie topped with silver sprinkles, from Andrea’s Cookies. The “Pre-Swift Combo” is available for concert-goers and Swifties for a limited time leading up to the concerts. Prince Street Pizza is located at The Well, which is a quick 10-minute walk away from Rogers Centre where The Eras Tour is being held.

One Of A Kind Winter Show (Taylor’s Version)

The One Of A Kind Show is running in Toronto from November 21 to December 1. Although vendors will be selling all kinds of goods, foods and crafts throughout the 10 days of the show, only one day will include Taylor Swift-themed activities. They will include a friendship-bracelet-making workshop, a performance by a Taylor Swift cover band and a silent disco. Of course, don’t forget to stop by one of the hundreds of vendors selling their unique creations. We are pretty certain you will find at least one Taylor Swift-themed thing at the One Of A Kind Show. Tickets and more details can be found here.

Craig’s Cookies

At their Union Station location, Craig’s Cookies will be serving up The Eras Mix. In honour of her six shows, the mix will feature six cookies inspired by Taylor’s different eras. They include Unicorn Cake for “Lover,” Matcha for her debut album and Cookies and Cream for “Reputation.” And, of course, the mix will include a Red Velvet cookie to represent “Red.” The Eras Mix will be available for $22 exclusively at Craig’s Cookies Union Station location.

Cured Catering Swiftie Collection

Toronto-based catering company Cured Catering has created a collection of boards to honour Taylor’s visit to Toronto. Choose from the Swiftie Charcuterie Tray, Dessert Tray or Donut Box. Or make it a DIY project with their Swiftie Bracelet Donut Decorating Kit. A portion of proceeds from this collection will be donated to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, so not only do they look good, but they are doing good as well.

Starbucks Friendship Bracelet Swap

Taylor Swift and Starbucks go way back. We remember buying the original “1989” album, complete with Taylor’s Polaroids, back in 2014 and getting a caramel latte to celebrate “Red (Taylor’s Version)” in 2021. Plus, who could forget the infamous misheard lyric from “Blank Space” where everyone thought Taylor sang “Starbucks lovers.” Well now, two Starbucks near the stadium will be setting up a friendship bracelet swap for Swifties in the area. A big bowl of friendship bracelets made by baristas will be available for fans to take while also leaving one they’ve made themselves. The friendship bracelets will be available at the Starbucks at 300 Front Street West and 2E Spadina Avenue.

Frenchy Bar et Brasserie Swiftie-Inspired Menu

Located inside the Hilton Hotel, Frenchy Bar et Brasserie will be serving a series of Taylor Swift-inspired cocktails until November 23.

Pair the Swiftie song-inspired drinks with the Lover dessert, which is a raspberry and pistachio buttercream cake layered with vanilla sponge.

In addition, Frenchy Bar et Brasserie will also be offering two cocktail classes where fans can learn how to make the Empress Lavender Haze cocktail. Sign up for the cocktail-making class on OpenTable under Frenchy Bar et Brasserie’s experiences.

Le Dolci “Blank Space” Cake Decorating Class

In Taylor Swift’s music video for “Blank Space,” she famously cuts into a white heart-shaped cake and then spills out a dark red goo. If you’ve ever wanted to do the same, Le Dolci Culinary Classroom is here to help you out. From November 14 to 23 they are hosting 5 Taylor Swift cake decorating classes. They will bake the cakes and the icing, all you have to do is fill in the “Blank Space” and decorate it!
