Selena Gomez is in Toronto on the same night as Beyoncé a scheduling change forced by the surging Raptors. That left fans with tickets to both shows with a tough decision. For Toronto fans of both Beyoncé and Selena Gomez, it’s tough to make lemonade out of a scheduling SNAFU that has the pop stars playing rival shows on the same night. The two pop stars will both take to Toronto stages on Wednesday, after the surging Raptors forced Gomez to move her Air Canada Centre gig originally scheduled for this past Sunday.
And suffering fans are wishing these ladies had gotten their schedules in formation. “Can you f-ing do a duo show,” tweeted fan @jaclynpetrik at the singers. “I hate you both im officially becoming a gaga fan.” WHEN @EmblemThree @selenagomez AND @Beyoncé ALL HAVE CONCERTS ON THE SAME DAY IN TORONTO… I WANNA BE IN THREE PLACES AT ONCE!! KILL ME!!” added @alyssabridgeeee, with emoticons of a crying face and a revolver.
Yes, Kyle Lowry and co. have forced pop fans into an unfortunate choice. And through no fault of her own, Selena Gomez is learning the same lesson as Becky with the Good Hair: going head-to-head with Beyoncé is probably a bad idea. Maria Tassone had tickets for both shows, but when Gomez’s show was shifted she opted to refund her pair of tickets. “(My decision) was pretty instantaneous,” said Tassone, a 25-year-old marketing and communications coordinator who has been a Beyoncé fan since the days of Destiny’s Child.
