EOS Rebel T3i not being able to format my sd card

When I tried to format the card I got the error "Cannot format. Change card." But I just bought this card, so I don't know why it wouldn't work.

What size card is it. The Rebel Series/ XXXD/ XXXXD lineup doesn't play nicely with cards bigger than 32GB. It will often cause the camera to lockup or hang. Stick with multiple smaller cards instead of a large 128GB card for example.

Bodies: EOS 5D Mark IV
Lenses: EF Trinity, EF 85mm F/1.8 USM
Retired Gear: EOS 40D, EF 50mm F/1.8 STM & EF 70-210mm F/4
Speedlites: 420EX, 470EX-AI, 550EX & 600EX II-RT

It's a sdxc card with 128 gigabytes but I also tried it with a 16gb sdhc card so I don't think the size was the issue in this case.

it's a sdxc with 128 gigabytes.
