American singer Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has sparked a diplomatic row as she is performing six sold-out shows in Singapore, which have disappointed the country's neighbours, as per a report in the Independent. The exclusivity clause negotiated by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, which forbids Ms Swift from performing anywhere else in Southeast Asia, has led to a backlash among the city-state's neighbours over the arrangement, which is estimated to be worth about 14 million pounds.
Taylor Swift has descended on Southeast Asia, or one small part of it at least: All of her six sold-out shows are in Singapore, the region's wealthiest nation. Many of her fans in this part of the world, which is home to more than 600 million people, are disappointed. But the Singapore leg of Swift's wildly popular Eras Tour, which began last weekend and ends Saturday, is a soft power coup and a boost for the country's post-pandemic economic recovery.
Taylor Swift doesn’t perform anywhere else in Southeast Asia as part of her current ‘Eras Tour’ is “not unfriendly”, according to the city-state’s prime minister.The ‘Midnights’ pop star has already played three of her six sold-out concerts at the 55,000-capacity National Stadium, with the remaining trio of dates scheduled for this week (March 7, 8, 9).It was reported last month that Singapore had struck a deal to prevent Swift from bringing her show to any other location within the Association Of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), which comprises 10 countries.Thai prime minister Srettha Thavisin claimed he was told that the Singapore government had offered $2million to $3million (£1.6million to £2.4million) per gig in exchange for exclusivity. However, the exact figure has not been disclosed.“The Singapore government is astute,” Srettha said.
