Taylor Swift has been on tour for months but finally, Canadian fans have been given a chance to see her here.

She's having not one or two but six shows at the Rogers Centre in Toronto next year and even though there are 300,000 tickets up for grabs, fans have been likening the scramble to the Hunger Games.
