Recently, fans have been excited about Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Singapore, but not everyone's pleased with her tour.
Taylor has become iconic in music after being crowned the highest-grossing artist of all time.
Taylor Swift, known for her hit song 'Shake It Off,' is currently on her Eras Tour, which includes performances in North and South America and Australia, and she is now in Singapore, a Southeast Asian country, leaving numerous fans excited.
According to the report, Taylor Swift won't be touring in Thailand or Indonesia. The girlfriend of Travis Kelce has announced her Eras Tour performance in Singapore.
Well, the pop star has her first performance in Singapore on Saturday (March 2). Until March 9, Taylor Swift has been performing at the country's National Stadium in Kallang.
A rumor is that the singer has struck a deal to take Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Singapore in favor of its neighboring countries.
Additionally, the 'Anti-Hero' singer is reportedly being paid a whopping $3 million per show, leaving its neighboring countries displeased.
Thai PM Srettha Thavisin said on the matter: "If [Swift] came to Thailand, it would have been cheaper to organize it here, and I believe she would be able to attract more sponsors and tourists to Thailand.
"Even though we would have to subsidize at least 500 baht (USD 14 million), it would be worth it."
Although reports suggest that Swift is being paid as much as $3 million per show, Singapore's Culture Minister Edwin Tong has emphasized that the actual amount paid is 'not anywhere as high as speculated'.
"Due to business confidentiality, we cannot reveal the specific size and conditions of the grant," Tong added.
In fact, government officials wanted Taylor Swift to tour their country not only solely due to their fandom but also because of the potential significant financial benefit that the singer brings.
It is believed that Taylor Swift's Eras Tour will provide an economic boost to Singapore and enhance tourism.
According to a report, previous tours by Swift in Australia reportedly resulted in a significant uplift of A$145 million in consumer spending.
Obviously, Swift's Eras Tour won't have a significant impact on Singapore's overall economic growth, but the fact is that the country considering the Taylor tour as a Singapore tourist destination will be more than just a temporary boost, but one for the future.
