A night of bad blood with Taylor Swift muSic | Taylor Swift Aug. 3 and 4, Rogers Centre
When Taylor Swift scuffled with Calvin Harris and Katy Perry in 2016, and then with Kim and Kanye, haters spammed her Instagram account with snake emojis. They could have never guessed that she’d reclaim the slithery beast as the central motif of her next tour—but then again, Swift has always found a way to incorporate personal woes into her music. The theme binds together her Reputation tour, where Swift wields a glitzed-out snake microphone and dances around a giant onstage reptile. Her performance will encompass the many phases of her career (dating back to her early days as a country artist) while confronting her less-than-perfect image. August 2018 toronto life 107
