Taylor Swift ignites controversy between Asian nations as Philippines and Thailand criticize Singapore for reportedly paying the singer $3 million per show to exclusively perform in the region.
Taylor Swift is currently the most popular woman in the world, causing nearby countries to prepare for a showdown over her exclusive Eras Tour appearance in one small nation.
Leaders in the Philippines and Thailand are expressing concern about a deal made by Singapore that limits Swift’s Eras Tour to just the affluent city-state.
The 34-year-old singer, currently performing six sold-out shows in Singapore, received a grant to perform in the country.
However, this will be her only stop in Southeast Asia due to an alleged agreement by Singaporean authorities to prevent her from performing in other regions, assuming fans would converge in Singapore.
