Rufus Wainwright Takes a Swing at Trump During World Series Gig

Rufus Wainwright hit the stage during the World Series and didn’t just bring the tunes—he brought the shade. Fans at Toronto's Budweiser Stage were treated to a performance that had a not-so-subtle jab at former President Trump.

The indie star’s lyrics echoed through the stadium, and it didn’t take long for the crowd to catch the vibe. With a blend of humor and sharp wit, Wainwright made it clear where he stands on the political spectrum.

But that's not all happening in Canada. The Budweiser Stage is getting a name change—because why not shake things up? Plus, local indie groups are sounding the alarm as government music funding is about to dry up.

Wainwright’s performance might have made headlines, but the music scene is in a tight spot. As funding fades, artists are calling for public support to keep the indie spirit alive in Toronto.
