Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is coming to Toronto this week and will likely be the most commercially successful concert series the city has ever seen.

Experts have estimated that the six sold-out dates at Rogers Centre will have an economic impact of up to $282 million, a whopping figure unmatched by any other act visiting the city.

Queen’s law professor and self-proclaimed ‘Swiftie’ Mohamed Khimji is available to speak to media about how ‘Swiftie’ culture has infiltrated the Canadian landscape.

Specific points he can speak to include: 

• Larger questions around the rights of musicians
• Entertainment law 
• How Swifties have impacted the wider socio-economic landscape 
• Legal issues in the music industry 

Professor Khimji also launched a Taylor Swift-themed law course at Queen’s University this fall that looks at Swift’s interactions with the legal system throughout her career and how she has affected entertainment law in the music industry.

Professor Khimji is also available in Toronto for in-studio appearances and virtual calls, as needed.
