flight cancellation forced her and a group of other Swifties to rent a car and make the near 800-kilometre journey to Vancouver to catch the last dates of the Eras Tour.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Carol Hansson says her flight was originally scheduled for Thursday night, but it kept getting delayed due to apparent safety issues with the aircraft, and alternate flights wouldn\u2019t have got her to Vancouver in time for Friday\u2019s concert.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-inlineSignup\" data-newsletter-inline=\"\">\n<div class=\"c-inlineSignup__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
