Justin Trudeau's Tweet To Taylor Swift Proves Politicians Can Be Swifties Too!

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a request for Taylor Swift and it's something he declared to the world, at least part of the world on Twitter.
It seems he's not the only premier who is a fan of Swift as more world leaders join to beg the singer to come to their country. Scroll down to know why...
Justin Trudeau Wants Taylor Swift To Come To Canada
Taylor Swift recently took to Twitter to announce that her Eras tour was going even "more" global, with 14 new shows in UK and Europe.
The 33-year-old also has a new guest, Paramore, with Hayley Williams as the lead singer and Swift is excited about this as well, as she wrote: "Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour. And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???"
The countries mostly remain the same, with new dates added to the global tour beginning May 9 and going all the way into August. There was a resounding clamor from her fans wanting her to come to more countries, with people from Canada and Asia proving they were Swifties too and deserved to have Swift come and be with them.
One surprising Swiftie turned out to the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau slipping her a Tweet, as a reply to her announcement:
It’s me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.

His Tweet seemed to be a play on Swift's Twitter bio that reads, "I'm the problem, it's me" which is a lyric from her song, "Anti-Hero."

Not Every Canadian Seems To Be A Fan Of Justin Trudeau!
Trudeau's reply to Swift may have gone unanswered (by her) but it definitely did not go unnoticed. Tons of comments followed with many Canadians bashing their PM!
While many RTs just read "Cringe", others went more verbose to hammer their point home!
"Drunk Tweet?"
"You drunk again on our tax-paying money???"
"You're either drunk or stoned or both? This is as creepy af!"
"What he should have said was 'It’s me. Hi, I’m the problem it’s me…. Don’t take it out on the rest of Canada.'"
"Holy H--l, Justin, we've talked about this! If you've had a few drinks, you need to stay off your phone & let the comms team handle your social media. This isn't just embarrassing for you, but it's also humiliating for us. Please consider your actions in the future."
Other fans begged Taylor Swift to ignore Trudeau:
"Hey Taylor: This guy’s the anti-hero. Please don’t indulge his ego."
"Taylor, FYI…this was his first draft. Maybe think about coming here after the next federal election. Just saying."
That said, with silence on THAT front, there's another world leader who had similar thoughts. Pita Limjaroenrat, likely to be Thailand's next Prime Minister also reached out to her, with similar Swiftie feelings!
Hey Taylor! Big fan of yours. Btw, Thailand is back on track to be fully democratic after you had to cancel last time due to the coup. The Thai people have spoken via the election and we all look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful nation of ours!
Do come and I’ll be… https://t.co/ypox90kRpL

Taylor Swift Announces "My Version Of Speak Now"
Swift also took to social media hours ago, announcing her version of "Speak Now", announcing, "It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas, and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks!"
While she has disabled comments on Instagram (sorry Mark Zuckerberg), fans are letting her know on Twitter (another win for Elon Musk) how beautiful and perfect they find her new release. Here's more about it...
