Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local — and no topic is off-limits.
On this week's episode: Did you land Taylor Swift tickets?
More than a year after first announcing her Canadian tour dates, the music icon is set to kick off a six-show set at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
How crazy will these concerts be? Toronto is expected to welcome 500,000 people to the city, generating an estimated $282 million in economic impact.

Alex Flood — a reporter at our newly launched TorontoToday — joins us on the podcast to talk all things Taylor. Spoiler alert: As tempting as it was, Alex did not rent out his couch in the hopes of reaping some of that economic benefit.
